@@jasonlee7816 I'm sure he would of if money wasn't an issue, however times were hard back then so was lucky I even got a game console.

As a dad who plays hang on frequently, ... im sorry for your loss!

My father also insisted we get a Mega Drive, while I preferred a SNES. However I pretty much loved Super Hang-On and I loved to see him play it as well. When playing the Original mode I imagined him being my mechanic. Meanwhile he also passed away. A couple of years ago I started developing my own game, based on Turbo Outrun with a bit of Super Hang-On in it. You can repair and upgrade your car in between the races, just like in Super Hang-On. And guess what? My father is the mechanic.

@@Sk1ds87 How cool is that. Thats awesome. I did something similar. When I was waiting for Christmas 92 to hurry up so I could get my hands on my MD I remember telling my dad of a track I heard from a band called After The Fire called Joy and I said to him how cool it would be if that song was in Super Hang On and he just laughed and said it would be cool. Well thanks to something called MSU-MD I requested Super Hang On be converted so I could manually add this track to the game and so I have version of the game called Super Hang On Dad edition.

@@NB-1 Thankyou very much for that breakdown. That helps explain much about how the SNK devs were still able to wring some impressive scenes out of NG a decade after its release, I always suspected that the x68000 was superior in hardware but never really knew the differences. Seems like the NG is more of a brute force approach. I remember having a discussion with a developer who ported his games to systems like the amiga and genesis. And I asked him if the access to larger video ram of the amiga gave it any advantage, and he basically said it really didn't since data needed to be preloaded from disks. But it was simply different, in that yeah he could have more complex dynamic scenes but lacked the space of having a rom. And he lamented that even the 2 mb of the A1200 and the AGA was still no match for the Genesis or SNES rom a standpoint what could be done in a purely subjective graphical impression point of view. Since the consoles actually did have horsepower that the Amiga simply lacked where it needed it. Even though he said the amiga arc was very elegant and effecient, it took a lot of effort to get it to compete.

is there a reason your uncle decided to buy you a Sega Mega-Drive console?

@@jasonlee7816 We were walking through a mall and I saw the stack of Mega Systems. I was more or less interested in the different name, as I knew it as the Sega Genesis. That when my mom said _you uncle wants to buy that for you._ And it was one of those traditions where you can't refuse a gift. When we got to my grandma's house, grandma and my aunts each gave me 10,000 Yen, which at the time was like 80 or 100 bucks. I was the only child of my mom that they hadn't seen as my siblings are older than me when my Dad was stationed Japan before I was born.

@@jasonlee7816 I later lost the power adapter and the replacement made a weird whining noise. That and the fact that system translated the games into Japanese I ended up trading it to someone for a stack of The Uncanny X-men and X-Factor comic books. I had also gotten a Amazing Spider-Man 300, which I later sold to a comic book store for $30. #300 was the first appearance of Venom.,

The Mega Drive version is amazing when you consider that: 1) It's basically a cut down System 16 arcade board (the original arcade version being on one of Sega's Super Scaler boards) and... 2) ...It's a very early game on the system. The speed of the Sharp version is impressive, though it should be remembered that even the base versions of the Sharp were significantly more powerful than the Mega Drive.

the GBA port sounds fine considering the limits of the hardware

It's a terrible port. It looks rough, it doesn't play too well and it doesn't feature any music from the arcade version. All music was replaced with all new tracks, which are okay, but would of loved to hear the SID chip do Winning Run or Sprinter.

anybody that loads up a C64 game expecting an arcade experience at home has expectations too high and/or needs to lower their expectations

@@jasonlee7816 it was good at arcade conversion until maybe 84-85... By 1990 you would be happy if a port resembled the arcade game at all :-D

@@jasonlee7816 depends entirely on the year and type of game. In 82-84 ports of 2D arcade games were able to provide pretty faithful arcade experiences.

Despite the Armstrad version has worse graphics & color scheme, the running looks much smoother than the C64 one.

i can’t imagine using a mouse would been a great experience

Now you've mentioned it, I really want to play it with a mouse!

I can't work out whether you're meming or not! 😅

@@jasonlee7816 I also had an Amiga, it was much easier with a mouse. That version was kinda like that. One button was for the gas, the other for nitro, I pressed both!

the 3DS, GBA, Genesis/Mega-Drive, Sharp X68000, port left Amiga dead

Not to mention the horrible sprite work

@@Sinistar1983 could you do a better job if you had a 3, 5, 7, 9 week/month deadline?

@@jasonlee7816 actually yes funny enough, I've been doing spritwork for years. And I own a c64 of which I've been using as the pixel art practice machine.

The ear splitting tyre screech noises of the C64 version. Not good.

The Speccy version is surprisingly impressive. I had the C64 version and it's worse than I remembered! 😆

it's my favorite version tbh

@@poble Me too.

@@jasonlee7816 Just get a 3DS XL and turn the 3D effect on. It's awesome.

The issue with the GBA version are down to the screen, both the low resolution and it not being backlit (so the colours are oversaturated to compensate). It's pretty good for what it is, though it's not how I'd choose to play the game! 😆

@sjake8308 yeah, disappointing. The GBA is a 32bit system so it's not performance but that poor display. It doesn't look terrible but the saturation does not do it any favours.

did you like the 3DS version more or the Sega Genesis version more?

@@jasonlee7816 I like the 3DS more. To be honest, if the gyro sensor play is on, you can actually tilled the 3DS.

i liked either the Amiga, Atari ST, GBA, Genesis/Mega-Drive, Sharp X68000 ports (versions) more

the 3ds version is fantastic, I really liked the additional difficulty settings and 3d effects and it looks super sharp when you play it on an actual 3ds. hell, it runs at the same resolution as the arcade lol

@@poble the colours (graphics) in the 3DS look or seem a bit too dark in some areas

Honestly the C64 music may be my favorite out of all the versions

i thought Space Harrier ll and Super Thunder Blade were better attempts on the Sega Genesis/Mega-Drive

@@jasonlee7816 I believe Super Hang On works better because the arcade game is less complex to start with. No disrespect for Super Thunder Blade and Space Harrier II, they were the system's launch titles and they were quite bold but especially Super Thunder Blade, the arcade game was too much for the Mega Drive to chew and as a result the gap between the arcade Thunder Blade and that game is bigger than Super Hang On. Even though Super Thunder Blade doesn't really try to be a straight port of the arcade anyway, which was quite clever to set expectations.

in 1987 yes in 2021 no

It has a 32-bit CPU that runs at more than twice the speed of the Mega Drive's CPU, so it should look and run great. 😆

it runs on the same hardware, I think

@@poble Pretty much: The arcade board they used was an upgraded version of the original Super Scaler board.

It’s awesome, especially in 3D

You were much too late. The Nintendo 3DS eShop has been shut down.

It was, just like Enduro Racer, but even then it looked more like Super Hang On than the C64 pile of trash.

objectively ?

The Mega Drive version poops all over the Amiga and ST versions, the Amiga version being yet another lazy ST port with better sound. The Spectrum version is surprisingly good, the Amstrad version is surprisingly lacklustre in comparison and the C64 version is laughably bad.

Yeah, shame the sound kinda blows though

And in 1988 it was a rather early Amiga release which makes it even more impressive.

@@MrTuxee Imagine what they could've done with the power of an Amiga 1200

And the sound fx of the Amiga version is what made it really stand out, I mean just listen to that engine and tyre skid noises, just awesome, made the other versions sound weak.

@@ZEUSDAZ the 3DS, GBA, Sega Genesis/Mega-Drive, Sharp X68000 ports seemed to sound more impressive unlike the Amiga version

some of the colours (graphics) in the 3DS port looked too dark

Sharp X68000 version is the winner over the 3DS version

No shit۔

Translate that into English

@@jasonlee7816 why should him translate when you could translate yourself? Si no hablas español, ou ne parle pas français, noch nicht einmal deutsch, it's time to learn.

@@teveboquisdakazza4739 if you went to (visited) an English speaking country i hope or you should been kicked out or thrown out for not speaking English

Loved the music on c64 but when the spectrum has a better sence of speed. Something went wrong

for the time, it was pretty good

Sega Genesis/Mega-Drive a 30%, 40%, 50% good port

@@jasonlee7816 Given it was an early release on hardware massively inferior to the arcade, the Mega Drive version is outstanding. What on earth were you expecting? 🤡

the Master System had the original Hang On game Sega might’ve had to pay a license fee for each of the other ports (versions)

It would never have been a masterpiece on that hardware! 🤣

It had a faster CPU, so it's actually better suited to running that type of game. That said, the C64 version of Super Hang-On shouldn't really be used as a reference for what the C64 is capable of! 😆

@@sjake8308 yeaaah, or Enduro Racer among others. Thanks for the info, it makes sense now.

choose (pick) another course if you disliking (hating) Africa

Hahaha good one

Super Hang on for Amiga was really good, looked good, played fast and the sou d fx of the engine and tyre skid noises were fantastic, if U. S. Gold had produced it,....best not think about it.

@@ZEUSDAZ if the Amiga port (version) might’ve been an Atari ST remake that made (makes) it worse

@@jasonlee7816 It played and sounded bloody great though :-)

@@ZEUSDAZ i could be wrong the Atari ST port sounds like they made better use of the audio than v Amiga

are you thinking of Hang On GP a racing video game developed by Genki and published by Sega for Sega Saturn? Dreamcast version is/was never made nor did it exist

that's just an emulation of the arcade version

@@jasonlee7816 I think they are referring to version of it that can be played in Shenmue on the Dreamcast.

the Amiga and/or ST versions look, move, sound, like incompetent, lazy, rushed, port done in 3, 5, 7, seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months

Well sometimes a lazy port from a great speccy version would have been better that the pile of shit they ended up trying to do their own thing so it wasn’t always bad. Like, I would have much preferred a lazy speccy port from Space Harrier than that god awful wireframe 3D thing. In this case though, the port ended up making it so slow it wasn’t really good.

is it the best possible or they could’ve done better?

@@jasonlee7816 I think not because of the limitations, but it is very faithful to the original

@@jasonlee7816 but don't forget that the game does not come alone it is part of a collection of arcades from sega But the port is not bad, why do you think it was necessary to do better?

@@fco64 if a GBA game looks, plays, sounds better the value for money is better (it goes up) or it wasn’t a cost cutting, incompetent, lazy, rushed job

@@fco64 one of the games in the collection After Burner was badly done on the GBA

Unfortunately, some people are beyond help. Best just to smile and nod before swiftly moving on. 😆

Muito bom vídeo! Para mim a melhor versão é a do mega drive 😃

@JM Coulon this guy is talking out of his ass, I genuinely don’t understand what he’s talking about lol

@@jasonlee7816 no, you’re the one who talks garbage, your comments are legitimately hard to follow, and you often use redundant terms to make your “point”

@@poble if you find what i say hard to follow go elsewhere or move along

They made a decent version on the ZX Spectrum within the limitations of the hardware. The colours were what was available so if you take all that into consideration, it's a good conversion!
