Superbike 2000 (PlayStation) — Knee-Down Sim, Late-’90s Attitude

Superbike 2000 is PlayStation-era superbike fever: licensed riders, real tracks, and a sim that actually makes you respect the throttle. It’s punchy, technical, and way more “apex math” than arcade wobble—tune your setup, pick your line, and pray your braking point wasn’t a lie. If you’re building out the PS1 shelf and planning to buy retro games on Retro Games eXchange, this is the leather-and-kneesliders pick that still rewards clean laps and calm nerves.

Released in 2000, developed by Milestone and published by EA Sports, it balances authenticity with just enough assists to keep newcomers upright. Season mode carries the drama, time trials feed the obsession, and once the bike clicks, flowing a lap feels like cheating physics in slow motion.
