Hang On
Hang-On
is an
arcade game designed by
Yu Suzuki and released by
Sega in 1985. In the game, the player controls a
motorcycle against time and other computer-controlled bikes. It was one of the first arcade games to use
16-bit graphics and Sega's "Super Scaler" technology that allowed
pseudo-3D sprite-scaling at high
frame rates. It also introduced a
motion-controlled arcade cabinet, where the player's body movement on a large motorbike-shaped cabinet corresponds with the player character's movements on screen, inspiring arcade games that followed and anticipating the modern motion control trend.
