Flash games were the precursors to many parts of the gaming industry today. One of the many formulas that were made is Bike Mania, a series with a formula that's actually represented in modern arcade-style games on consoles. It's popular enough to have a spin-off series, Arena, which remixes the games from the original series to be more difficult. Let's look at Bike Mania Arena.

To install Bike Mania Arena, just run it with whatever SWF player you have.

This game has pretty much the same exact gameplay as the game it's based on, which is completely fine because the gameplay is extremely solid and addicting. You still use the arrow keys to accelerate, decelerate, and lean forward and backward to keep your bike balanced so you don't crash and burn.

The gameplay is practically the same as always, so the map design is the most important part of the game series. The Arena subseries remixes each game to be a lot more difficult, and you'll feel it from the first level. You have to almost immediately climb a massive barrel pretty much right off the bat, something the original eased you into.

If you're a fan of simple arcade games that are still very addictive, Bike Mania Arena is a great game for exactly that. However, since this is the first entry, it's unpolished and basic.
