Is that what Europeans call these? (We call them 3-wheelers here in the States.)

Are you for certain such a game exists. Off the top of my head, I don't recall ever seeing such a game on the Amiga (or elsewhere for that matter...)

It could be Iron Trackers, but it features four-wheel bikes...

Hehe...we use the term trike as an abbreviated version of tricycle, which is what we call the 3-wheeled version of bicycles that kids ride. I just love this exchange of cultural language differences. I so often use European slang in everyday life and very often get funny looks from people I know who don't know what I'm on about. I told my friend last night that I was gobsmacked about something and he made me repeat it three times and still didn't know the word. Sheesh! And I never even considered that was a non-US word!

I almost described our trike as the vehicle that the comic character Dennis rides, but then I remembered that the U.S. Dennis (the Menace) is the very young, blonde-haired Hal Ketchum character (of comics, cartoons, TV and film fame), as opposed to the UK version of Dennis from Beano. Here he is, for those Americans who don't know...quite a major difference!
