This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Moto Racer World Tour for PlayStation 1
Moto Racer World Tour for PlayStation 1 combines road racing, motocross and supercross in one motorcycle racing game. You alternate between asphalt and dirt circuits, where braking points, grip and jumps each demand a different approach. On the road, you seek a smooth line through fast corners; on cross tracks, you also watch your landing and suspension. A temporary boost helps with overtaking but heats the engine. Accelerate for too long and overheating can cost you speed instead. Following another rider lets you benefit from the slipstream.
In World Tour, your results carry you through different championships. Strong finishes open further seasons, circuits and additional disciplines. Later challenges include traffic, dragsters, freestyle and trial. These do not all test the same skill: sometimes outright speed matters, sometimes a stunt or negotiating obstacles. In the pits, you can change gearing, tyres and suspension, among other settings. You can also use automatic transmission and learn the default setup first, without immediately having to understand every technical adjustment.
You can play alone or with two players simultaneously in split-screen, each using a controller. A standard PlayStation controller works; analogue steering is an additional option. A PlayStation Memory Card stores your progress for a later session.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 1 games are PAL editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
Moto Racer World Tour for PlayStation 1 includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of Moto Racer World Tour
Delphine Software International developed Moto Racer World Tour as the third instalment in its motorcycle series. The game appeared on PlayStation in 2000. The first Moto Racer had already combined road bikes and dirt bikes in one game; its sequel expanded that formula. World Tour continued this switching between surfaces, but organised progress into several championships and disciplines. Its release year places this edition towards the end of the original PlayStation generation, not alongside later Moto Racer games for newer consoles.
The structure revolves around gradually unlocking new riding challenges. Road and cross races have their own seasons, after which the broader World Tour combines those experiences. Freestyle shifts attention to button combinations in the air; trial emphasises precise riding over obstacles. The game thus uses the same motorcycle controls for distinctly different tasks. The manual also explains engine heat, slipstreaming and the effect of suspension. These systems explain why simply accelerating harder does not automatically produce the fastest lap: timing and the condition of your bike still matter.
The setup options also give this instalment its own character within the series. The pits let you alter performance without becoming a separate garage game. Alongside that longer progression, quick races and duels on one television remain available. World Tour therefore combines championship progression, technical choices and short sessions within the same original PS1 edition.
Similar games for PlayStation 1
Moto Racer already connects fast road bikes with the rhythm of dirt tracks. The switch between asphalt and earth is familiar, but the first game keeps its competition structure simpler. World Tour adds a broader range of disciplines and more setup work. If you mainly know the original’s direct races, this game gives you more reasons to continue after a championship and learn a different kind of motorcycle riding.
Moto Racer 2 develops the same road-and-dirt mixture and also gives you an editor for your own circuits. World Tour instead distinguishes itself through its different riding disciplines and motorcycle setup. The difference is not merely a new set of tracks: Moto Racer 2 lets you design a route yourself, whereas World Tour has you unlock new challenges within its existing competition structure and learn their individual rules.
Road Rash also uses motorcycles and high speed but adds fighting between riders. You throw punches while reading the traffic and road. Moto Racer World Tour removes those fights and spreads its challenges across racing, stunts and trial. Your attention therefore falls more often on a braking point, jump or setup than on deciding which rival beside your bike you can knock out.
Jet Rider 2 uses futuristic hoverbikes instead of motorcycles on tyres. You race across varied surfaces and can use a magnetic grapple to negotiate tight turns. You still read jumps and try to retain speed, but the technique differs from braking and setup in World Tour. Both vary their environments; World Tour finds that variety in different real motorcycle disciplines, while Jet Rider 2 uses fantasy vehicles and extreme courses.
Gran Turismo 2 likewise makes you consider tyres, gearing and the balance between acceleration and top speed. That game focuses on cars, an extensive garage and varied car races. Moto Racer World Tour brings setup directly back to the behaviour of your motorcycle on road and dirt tracks. There is no collection of passenger cars here, but there is a mixture of racing lines, jumps and additional motorcycle challenges demanding different control.
