Brakken from http://www.tehskeen.com/modules.php?name=skeenews has brought to my attention this BAD ASS little game. It is a commercial GBA game that was never released so the developers have GIVEN it away free. The game is like the old NES Excite Bike with updated graphics and the added ability to do "tricks".  This is what Brakken said about it's history:

QuoteDHG Games have released their Motocross Challenge racing game for the GameBoy Advance. This game was initially intended for a commercial release, but due to circumstances out of the programmers control it was never published. So instead of burying the game they have decided to release it to the general public. Make sure to read there press release regarding the release and then add this sucker to your collection!

It is 100% Free and 100% LEGAL so download and enjoy it here: http://wyrdlife.com/dhggames/?menu=download

Also I just simply dragged and dropped it onto my Supercard Lite and it plays perfectly!

Hi

http://dhggames.com/ is the official site.

QuoteGreetings! My name is Guert and, on the behalf of all the members of DHG games, I would like to make the following statement about the release of our game Motocross Challenge.

In may 2004, we started the development of our game with the dream of becoming a professional game development team for handhelds consoles. We spent all of our free time creating, designing, programming, planning and illustrating our project. For two years, we have put our life on hold, neglected our families and friends, missed hundreds of shows and barely felt the sunshine on our shoulders. Yet, we were happy. We were creating our own game, fueled with our passion and motivation. In 2006, we thought that all of our hard work would finally pay off and we would get to see our game on shelves. We were wrong.

To meet our publisher’s will, a very big and international publisher that shall remain unnamed, we cut, sliced and butchered our game to it’s core, removed elements that we loved and marked a great red X on the features we we’re yet to add. As we saw our project being grinded down, we kept on going, making sure that what was left was still worth playing. However, all of this sacrifice had occurred in vain, as the publisher decided, after long months of negotiations, that our title did not have enough commercial value. The game was good, but there was no popular name on the cover box and the GBA sales were declining. We were then picked up by another publisher, willing to put our game on the market. The game was in testing stage and all it needed after was to be burned into a cartridge in order to sell it. But once again, our publisher pulled the plug after months of waiting for a release date.

So here we were, tired, disappointed, publisher-less and a gold game in our hands. We took a good break and then decided that our blood and sweat would not lie in a drawer for the rest of our lives. This game was created for the players and it will go to the players.

Motocross challenge is not only a game for all of us: it is also a part of our heart. We sacrificed and given a lot to this game and we want all of you to play it. Download it, play it, spread it. The more people playing this game, the more we can show that money is not the only thing running the industry: passion still exists.

Yes. Again.

LET IT ECHO!

Quotepassion still exists

Thank you DHG games! I admire that. And I will do as you say, download it, play it, and spread it. I'll show it to my friends and tell them about this. Because unfortunately, money is a big part of what's running the indestry. But passion still exsists with some people. Like DHG. I'm very honestly proud of them.
