"Dirt Trax FX" is a motocross racing video game developed by Sculptured Software and released by Acclaim Entertainment in 1995 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). This game leverages the SNES's Super FX chip, primarily used to enhance graphics by rendering 3D polygons, giving "Dirt Trax FX" a distinctive look and more dynamic gameplay compared to traditional 2D racing games of that era. In "Dirt Trax FX," players race dirt bikes across various tracks that feature jumps, bumps, and sharp turns, offering a fast-paced and physically engaging experience. The game includes multiple modes, such as championship and time trial, and supports up to two players for competitive racing action.

The incorporation of the Super FX chip in "Dirt Trax FX" marked a technological advancement in the capabilities of the SNES, showcasing smoother frame rates and more complex visuals. The game features eight different racetracks and a selection of characters, each with unique attributes that affect their racing style, thereby adding a strategic element to the gameplay. Additionally, "Dirt Trax FX" includes an innovative feature for its time: a split-screen mode for two players, which was a significant technical achievement on the SNES platform. The combination of advanced graphics, engaging gameplay mechanics, and multiplayer options contributed to the game's appeal and its place in the history of SNES titles as a noteworthy example of early 3D console racing games.
