Arcade screenshot
The arcade mode in Super Hang-On is similar to the original Hang-On. However, there is a choice of four tracks to race on which are based on continents, each containing a different amount of stages. Also, should the player reach the normal maximum speed of 280 km/h, a turbo button is enabled. Using this button allows the player to reach an even higher top speed of 324 km/h. Each stage is roughly half the length of a stage in the original Hang-On. Africa is the easiest and shortest out of the four courses (six stages). Asia is the second easiest and is similar in length to the course from the original Hang-On at ten stages long. The Americas is the second to toughest course, containing 14 stages and Europe is the hardest course, being 18 stages long. When the player starts a race, they have their choice of four songs that will play during the race, a feature borrowed from Out Run.
ENJOY!

I used to like the Amiga version, but there was one thing that always pissed me off; All the other bikers try to intentionally crash into you! Any time you're on a straight section of road, all the other bikes will be leaning in your direction. When you come to a curve, all the other bikes will first shoot over to the outside edge (where you probably are) before zipping back to the inside edge after crashing into you. You can see this at 6:02 in the video. Why would a bike start out on the inside edge of a curve, zip over to the outside edge and then zip back if not to try and hit you? In fact, once you pass a bike that's leaning toward you, it will usually start leaning the other way as if to say "Oh well, I can't hit him now, I guess there's no point in continuing to go that way."

Super Hang-On is the game that got me into motorbikes in general. I dunno if it was coincidental or not, but the design of the bike in the game is pretty similar to past models of Honda CBR (highest displacement I've seen with the color in question is the CBR 600, 2013 model year). It was a colorway that was kept for a long time, but I didn't see it on any of the 2019 models on Honda's website.

X68000 Super Hang-On is certainly very good, although (as bombjack pointed out) the X68000 only has one 68000 processor, the arcade had two 68000s. The arcade's twin 68000 CPUs each run at *12.5 MHz.* Super Hang-On used Sega's Out Run Hardware: system16.com/hardware.php?id=697 X68000 also does not have the built-in hardware scaling of the arcade (Sega's Super-Scaler tech) even though its definitely smoother than the MD version. The 3DS version is amazing. Pretty much the same can be said about the other Sega super-scaler games on X68000: After Burner II and Thunder Blade, in that they are not arcade perfect. After Burner II X68000 was a rather weak effort, and this was used as the basis for the MD version (Dempa handled both). X68000 Thunder Blade on the other hand, while not perfect, was a *really* good port, and remained, by far, the best non-emulated home version of Thunder Blade until *very* recently, when the 3DS version came out.

Hmm.. I thought there was a Saturn version of Hang On...
@RetroCore 9 жыл бұрын
There is but it's not based upon Super Hang-On. The Saturn game is called Hang-On GP '95 in the UK and Japan and just plain old Hang-On in the States.

CabooseAzul Manx-TT has nothing to do with Hang-On I'm afraid. It is a great game though even on the Saturn it was pretty good.

hmm.. I said that because its very Hang-On like. Arcade motorbike racing and even the arcade cabinet worked very similar. But yes, they are quite different games I guess. They feel different but at the same time both have a some similarities

Yes, the way the bike worked is kind of similar however the Manx TT was more like a real bike than what Super Hang-On was. Both great games though.

Not sure how you're rating the X68000 above the MD but each to there own. I can see the GBA version is excellent though. MS-DOS was horrible to program for compared to the Amigas and Apple's of the time hence games sucked so hard early on.
@RetroCore 5 жыл бұрын
The MD game runs at 30fps. That's quite low for a MD game. You can see that the game doesn't run as smooth as the X68000 version.

The GBA version looks amazing, but once you try the turbo you'll realize something's wrong. All the other super hang on games the Turbo makes you slip to the side from the speed. But the GBA you can basically hold turbo the entire time and have a joy ride :) . Physics arent taken into consideration. All the games on that gba Sega arcade collection are grossly easy imo. Like they copied the graphics but forgot to copy the games lol.. Idk what it is about Sega re releases on the GBA. Genesis Sonic for gba went under the quality radar as well.

Agreed the mega drive version was always very choppy, and I owned it. Although the 6800 version is a little bit disappointing all things considered, I would of been blown away by it back then.
@iwanttocomplain Жыл бұрын
@@RetroCore I see the X68000 version is much smoother. But the handling is more or less binary: straight ahead or fully to the side. The Mega Drive version slowly turns. That makes it a lot more of a deep game. You have to repeatedly press a direction. It’s actually quite hard to do but at least you can corner just a bit for soft turns.

@@Lightblue2222 I think that changes for difficulty is for the Nintendo platforms which always feature easy games. Changes to gameplay for a port happened in the PS2 era too where the audience had a certain expectation. Ie, you dumb down your PS2 games or make your GameCube games a bit easier.

Best thing about Megadrive vs X68000 is that it makes up for the digital controls by adding weight to the bike. You can't just turn full right and left on the fly.

Yes, people praising this Super Hang On (or any other sega arcade gallery title) port didn't play it that much or they're not too demanding. Outrun port is better, but also lacks in challenge. Space Harrier is passable, but on the other hand After Burner is practically unplayable, both have too big sprites for the screen and you barely can see what's going on. It's funny they got the sprites from the pc engine and the x68000.
