Redline Racer

The player controls a motorcycle racer and starts every race from the last position. There are three tracks and three bikes to choose from at first, with more becoming available (10 tracks and 8 bikes in total) as the player wins the races on each of the tracks. The player can also choose the team that the racer belongs to, as well as the racer's sex. All the tracks are set in different environments: a canyon, a tropical island without a highway, an area full of orchards, etc. A race lasts for three laps.

The game was first mentioned in January 1998.{{cite web|first=Harley|last=Jebens|url=http://headline.gamespot.com/news/98_01/13_ubi/index.html|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20001016130530/http://headline.gamespot.com/news/98_01/13_ubi/index.html|title=Ubi Soft's New Racer|website=GameSpot|archivedate=October 16, 2000|date=January 13, 1998|accessdate=August 30, 2022}} The Game Boy Color version was one of a number of Ubi Soft games for the platform that utilized the "Ubi Key" feature, allowing players to share data between games via the system's infrared port and unlock extra content.{{cite web | title=Unlock Your Ubi | website=IGN | date=April 3, 2000 | url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2000/04/03/unlock-your-ubi | access-date=January 14, 2025}}

The PC version of Suzuki Alstare Extreme Racing received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Jeff Lundrigan of NextGen said that the Dreamcast version "has the Suzuki team license (obviously) and some fairly decent graphics, but that's about it. In fact, on the whole, it's about as generic as they come." In Japan, where the same Dreamcast version was released first under the name {{nihongo|Redline Racer|レッドラインレーサー|Reddorain Rēsā}} on 29 April 1999, Famitsu gave it a score of 26 out of 40.
