Trivia:

The Cavefish bikes sound effects were a combination of bees buzzing in a jar, a Formula 1 engine, a dental drill, and a stressed steel concrete saw.

Goofs:

Continuity: When the Vultures' plane comes to a sudden halt, Ripburger's stolen semi lurches out of the cargo bay. The truck has no trailer in the bay, but the trailer returns when it rips through the plane's loading ramp.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Ben: [narrating] Whenever I smell asphalt, I think of Maureen. That's the last sensation I had before I blacked out; that thick smell of asphalt. She said she'd fix my bike. Free. No strings attached. I shoulda've known then that things were never that simple. Yeah, when I think of Maureen, I think of two things: asphalt... and trouble.

Excellent entertainment.

Although not my absolute favorite LucasArts game (that has to go to Sam and Max/Monkey Island) this is a winner too. The artwork is outstanding. So is the music. And your main biker character is just plain fun to walk around as he continually embarasses himself. Only complaint: I wish the game lasted longer.
