Return of the 1985 arcade classic

SHOT RIDER is a dynamic racing game released by SEIBU KAIHATSU in 1985. Players control a motorcycle and fight their way through rivals, knocking enemy riders down on the way to the finish line.

During the race, forks in the road allow players to choose different routes, including highways, rocky sections, or snow-covered tracks. However, caution is advised: collisions with civilian cars and obstacles rapidly consume fuel.

Arcade Archives edition features

  • Faithful reproduction of the original arcade version of the game;
  • Flexible difficulty and display settings;
  • Convenient features: save at any point, rewind, and rapid-fire mode;
  • Online leaderboards for competing with players around the world.
