Traverse USA © 1983 Irem corporation.
An excellent motorcycle racing game.
Enjoy the wind of American landscape, accelerating hard your motorbike across highways and desert roads, evading the rivals cars and obstacles on challenging narrow roads and curves, and take a good amount of fuel, to finish the race before running out of fuel!
The levels (and cities) are:
Los Angeles
Las Vegas
Houston
St. Louis
Chicago
New York.
The 3 engine classes in this game are: 500 cc, 750 cc and 1200 cc. The higher the engine class is, the higher the speed is, but the motorcycle is harder to control.
The Las Vegas -> Houston and St. Louis -> Chicago stages are ridden across deserts, where the remaining stages - on asphalt roads.

TRIVIA
Traverse USA was released in June 1983. Exported to the USA as "MotoRace USA" with license for Williams electronics inc. Another export release is "MotoTour" licensed to Tecfri S.A.
Later re-released as "Zippy Race". The title can be changed in dip switches, from Traverse USA to Zippy Race.
The speed unit is also changeable in the switches, from a mile per hour to a kilometer per hour.
The engine classes are written in a cubic centimeter, independent on the release.
TIPS AND TRICKS- Hold both buttons to temporarily block speed. Release to go back to normal speed.
- The bike will ride (a bit) slower on desert roads even on the asphalt parts leading to cities.
- You can't control your bike or speed when jumping on desert roads. You can regulate the speed when performing a wheelie (on asphalt), though.
- You'll be unable to finish 1st after 500 cc class: the enemies are also faster.
- You'll get a full tank after a class completion (reach New York), so you may finish with half fuel.
- Watch out for trucks on deserts: the drivers throw barrels down the off-road. Overtake the trucks.
