Excitebike Series

Excitebike was one of the first Famicom games Shigeru Miyamoto worked on. The controls are the game's key feature, with small adjustments required to pull off time-saving stunts. When Excitebike 64 by Left Field was dubbed one of the most realistic motocross games of all time, many of the control nuances were actually borrowed from the original, which was no less than 15 years old.
