Gameplay
BMX Simulator is an overhead race game similar to the arcade video game Super Sprint. The player must race against another player, or the computer, around a series of seven different bicycle motocross (BMX) tracks. There is also a time limit to be beaten. Only two cyclists can compete in each race. The race can be viewed in slow-motion instant replay afterward.
Reception
Sinclair User called it "a classy conversion from the Commodore original" and a "full price game in budget clothing".
ZX Computing said it was fun from start to finish, and rated it a Monster Hit.
Legacy
BMX Simulator was followed by a sequel in 1988, Professional BMX Simulator. It was later rereleased as BMX Simulator 2.
