Bug Riders: The Race of Kings (Sony PlayStation 1, 1997)

Product Specs

Description

The current ruler of Planet Entymion is near death, so the time has come to select a new emperor. The Entymionians don't waste tax dollars or time holding elections; they race for glory. Instead of cars, hovercrafts, or spaceships, they race bugs. Big, flying bugs. Whoever wins the "Great Race" is not only revered as the greatest bug rider throughout the entire planet, but is also crowned Emperor of Entymion. Bug Riders offers a twist on the racing genre. Choose one of eight insect mounts and race across the six courses making up the "Great Race." Instead of having a normal accelerate button, you must cane your bug to make it move faster. But watch out, you don't want to hurt the little guy. The six tracks are filled with shortcuts and power-up items, such as missiles and bombs, to blast your opponents. Do you have what it takes to defeat the power-hungry bug riders?
