Motorhead is a high-speed futuristic racing game developed by Digital Illusions CE (DICE) and released for the PlayStation in 1998. Known for being one of the rare PlayStation titles to run at a blistering 60 frames per second, it challenges players to compete in the Transatlantic Speed League across various urban and industrial circuits. With its thumping electronic soundtrack and sleek, angular car designs, the game strips away weapons and power-ups to focus entirely on pure racing mechanics and momentum.
How to Play
The objective is to master each track’s layout and maintain the highest possible speed to secure first place in league races. In the browser emulator, the default PlayStation controls are typically mapped to your keyboard: use the Arrow Keys for steering, X to accelerate, Z to brake, and Enter to start the game.
Tips
- Maintain Momentum: Unlike arcade racers that reward drifting, Motorhead requires smooth, precise steering. Braking slightly before sharp turns is much faster than sliding into walls.
- Learn the Tracks: The high frame rate means corners approach incredibly quickly. Memorizing the braking points for each circuit is essential for winning the higher division races.
- Drafting: Use slipstreaming behind opponents to gain a temporary speed boost on long straights, which is crucial for overtaking.
