Note! Nowadays Action SuperCross is known as Elasto Mania.
Action SuperCross (or shorter Across) is one simple but quite addictive shareware-game. (Well, usually most addictive games are simple, like Tetris!)
Game is 2D motorcross, you drive a motorcycle and controls are accelerate, block wheels, turn around and rotate clockwise/anticlockwise. Goal is to pick up all apples (touch them) and then touch the flower. Simple, isn't it?-) And naturally, faster is better. If driver falls down, you have start that track from the beginning again.
I made this page mostly to give my .rec-files (saved drivings) to people who wants to see them. I'm sure that many beginners (more beginners than I, that is, I'm really not any expert myself) will get many hints how to make their own time better. I remember my first games, like 45 seconds in Twin Peaks and I felt that it's quite impossible to drive that very much better anymore ;-)
Afterwards I have added some general Across-related things to this page. Like worldrecord tables and links.
I've tried to find .rec-files from Internet, but in most cases really good drivers doesn't want to give their own recordfiles to anyone even if they are sharing their recordtimes anyway :-/ Happily there's at least one good site (Moposite), where you can find really good replays. See link at bottom of this page.
Click my time to download corresponding zip-packed .rec-file. I've lost .rec-files of tracks 5, 7, 9 and 11 somewhere. Or more likely I have just forgot to save them after I've made my own record. Sorry.

Hmm... I still have some work to do before I reach world records :-)
Not very much progress happened in world records during last few years. Except in The Steppes where new shortcut were discovered.
Only tracks which are available in shareware-version are listed here. I don't know how well Elasto Mania -times can be compared to Across-times. At least "Hi Flyer"-track is different between these two versions of this same game.
