About This Game
SUPER HANG-ON revolutionized arcade racing with its full-size motorcycle cabinet that physically tilts for steering. The deluxe cabinet version remains one of the most immersive arcade experiences ever created.
The game features four distinct continents (Africa, Asia, America, Europe) with varying terrain difficulties. Its progressive electronic soundtrack by Hiroshi Kawaguchi dynamically changes with race position.
As part of Sega's 'Super Scaler' series, it used sprite-scaling technology to create a convincing sense of speed. The game was ported to multiple home systems but the arcade original remains the definitive version.
