Hang-On by Sega (Arcade) Complete Run with Commentary

[nydrell]

i was the king of this and super hang also lollllllllll got to love the 80's

[AMEwrestling]

The Shenmue II version of Hang-On was much harder than the real arcade version. I think the original Shenmue version was closer to this. Great game anyway.

[tubumu]

Yep - the good old days and their charmy games: OutRun, Super Hang On, Chase HQ, Rolling Thunder, Boxer King, Golfing Greats, Gold Medalist, Zaxxon, R-Type, Power Drift, Karate Champ...

[The1bodhisattva]

It's pretty amazing that you did that, it must have taken a few takes, once I completed it I never tried again, but surely you were not commentating whilst playing? you were way too calm, sure you can be calm for the bulk of it, but the last stage things get so edgy especially if you have been there 60 times and you know what is coming next....crash

[The1bodhisattva]

@zouzkleta That's pretty cool, wish I had found it, that 20 seconds could have saved me a day's worth of hours

[martincho02101984]

FUCKING AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[magnustabell]

where can i get this hang-on version i just have the one that dont have the music in it

[Rnt911]

It's sad to see what happened to Sega nowdays.

[IDrinkBatUrine]

@Rnt911 Absolutely man. Sega was incredible, and I'm about this biggest Fanboi there can be. Having said that, now that Suzuki Yu has "retired" and Sammy owns them now, they are a shadow of their former self. But good heavens did they push arcade technology forward. I will always love Sega, and it's amazing how ignorant the general gaming public is to their greatness. I do what I can to take care of that, one gamer at a time. :)

[CanineFaeces]

The handle bars on the arcade machine made this so much harder.

[TheVideoGameOracle]

I wish they could release this on todays system. Did you know that this was done by the same man who gave us Out Run and Chase HQ?

[fkband]

Shenmue.

[Cafeeine]

What memories. I figuratively melted my Hang On cartridge on the SMS.

[TheGreatCorneliuski]

They made a motorcycle sit down arcade of this. But the whole life size bike had to tilt left and right, it was ridiculous because it was like the worlds biggest joy stick

[JDoucette]

@TheGreatCorneliuski I wonder how hard this would be with the real motorcycle hardware. I mastered OutRun on the emulators, but to have the sit-down car with the machine moving left and right (certainly easier than Hang On, but it still must be distracting), it's gotta be harder...

[larandito]

Thank you for this game. I spent much money in this arcade, always crashing!!

Please, post the final theme of Hang On

[mathowlett]

You make it look so easy.... ;-)

I spent a lot of money on this as a kid, just crashing into stuff. That music brings back memories !!

[musicmaniac1965]

exelent run ! i never was able to finish the orginal arcade game. i don't have it on mame, but with a digital controller i think makes it even more harder than it is. thanks for the tip tough, not to use the brakes, but just lift off the accelerator. i will try this on the megadrive version of super hang on.

[CommercialTVBuff]

I used to play this, at a roller skating rink. I was a nine year old, and the place was sold 18 months later.

[noxvet]

Mmm Marlboro...

[1983parrothead]

When it was first revealed in Japan, Yu Suzuki said that people were "so shy, I was told they would never 'straddle such a thing'. At the first test site, the developers' kids were there. It had a large gallery of people. At first, no one would ride it. So when they saw someone riding it, they all would start doing it. There were others who were silent. I said it was okay and 'please ride it'. They kind of understood it."

[1983parrothead]

He also said "I rode a bike. When you're falling off the bike, you crank the axel you'd rise. It's really like a gyro. I wanted to try cranking the axel like this, but I wasn't allowed to on courses. Sound is really important. In the end I asked to enter a real 50 cc engine. Because of the price I had to give that up."

[1983parrothead]

This was the world's first experiencing game. Shaped like a real bike, it felt like a real race. It revolutionized game centers of the time. Yu Suzuki created it, because he said "back then sometimes I would see delinquents in the game centers. I wondered if there were a way to draw such lively people to game centers."

[sbmrunning]

not a bad narration ! i usually HATE 'em.......but you did a good job at narration ! polite addressal of the game and technics to play......... i was pleased..........ty.

[illDiology]

You think this is hard? Really?

Try playing this game as a 6 year old kid trying to move a multi-hundred-pound plastic motorcycle-type-thing with a an arcade screen on the front of it - even though you're body mass is about one-tenth of the weight of the entire contraption.

[macwhoelse]

Nice video. I could never finish this game. Well done.

[1czelaya]

I was always in pure awe on how powerfull Sega's arcade boards where compared to home game systems. Even when the Genesis was released in 1989with it's Motorola 68000 c.p.u., it still couldn't faithfully reproduce Sega's arcade boards(system 16) of 1985. Sega was the champion of arcade technology during the entire arcade era with the most sophisticated technology and the most innovative games. I realized that quickly even thou I was only 8 years old. Sega will always be number 1 in my mind.

[nightshot103]

I have to admit that I grew up on Sega, but really, I love the peaceful flavor of Nintendo. Something about Nintendo games feel more soft and nice and friendly -- Mario 2 / Mario 3 ... Popeye...Ice Breaker...Balloon fight...

[JDoucette]

@1czelaya Couldn't have said that better myself! I'm on the same wavelength as you there, that's for sure. System 16 was just amazing. Years later I made a PC game demo of an OutRun style of game (called Full Tilt) that had many more sprites than the original arcade (in 1999 on a 66 MHz 486, which could handle this easily), and someone walked in and asked if it was a NES. I got mad. I was finally replicating beyond System 16 power, and someone thought it was a Nintendo Entertainment System. :/

[Smraedis]

Grats on this one too! My best result is running out of time at the end of the 4th stage on default settings.. I didn't even crash!

[DeSangre]

Smraedis as in #shmups' Smraedis? :D

[Smraedis]

Hi! ^^

Yes it is me :D

[molitva2007]

only 2 seconds left at the end? so in order to beat the game u can't even crash once against anything!!

[MattTheSpratt]

I swear, at 3:30, I saw the N from the Hang-On logo being used as a sign.

[SturmvogelPrime]

the logo was used as sign.

[dathtrack]

the record for hang on on shenmue passport is 50881130, i had 26321140 with around 13second left at the end

[garethjames1990]

hang on is a true classic

[orangie84]

i actually kind of wish you hadn't talked over it..

I kind of wanted to hear the game play once more

[SegaJackNLS]

I am looking for new throotle and brake handles for my hang on arcade machine, i still have not fixed that.

[hulk2001]

cool how did you get a arcade? is it the verson the the bike?

[YouFucked2]

used to love walking into a games arcade and hearing the Hang On intro sound

[SteelProphets]

VirtuaStig, you rock. Hang-on forever.

[neoyamaneko]

I beat Expert on Arcade after many hours of playing in the arcade and on the Genesis. LOL at their Samus poke.

[molitva2007]

very well played!! this game is too hard, i can't beat it even with cheats! when i was a kid i wasnt able to pass level 2!

[orphanmetroid]

need to be quiet so I can hear the music

[Kirbyforever]

ok sorry y'all. any yu suzuki game registers with me. long time - 22 years so far!

(hang-on-1985!)

[Kirbyforever]

ok you play good but emulator not original arcade with plastic motorbike so no contest too easy you play too long time.

[Kirbyforever]

you weak player. you don't play long time...

hang-on easy because only 3 different levels of drift. you bad yankee player. you buy shenmue on dreamcast then you play better. you need training then you can try hadouken.

[glenrich84]

i agree. console is way diff than arcade. u need emotional content... in other words, a bunch of quaters.

[l1ghtmaster]

what are you? some kind of sensei god or something? :DD

[sunnyb4u]

wow that was brillient i could never get the control right i kept on crashing but you did a great job :D thx for the video

[fizzkid2000]

hey you have yu suzuki gameworks volume 1 on dc and tdu as well?

me too :)

look me up on 360 sometime.

[cartlidgen]

it is like super hang on it is he same bike but it is a difront couler

[SegaJackNL]

I love this game. I actually own the original Hang On arcade racer with the red bike. Its second hand offcourse and the throtle and break dont work, but it accelerates automaticly. I will have it fixed tho, need to find the right stuff.

wow, your going pretty fast

[JudderMan25]

OMG, you kick ass. Not one mistake.

I played this game late in the day, namely on Shenmue (and even I got that recently) but the gameplay just blew me away. It's so fun and can go pretty fast in places. Hard to believe it's so old.

[Delta1908]

an awesome game by the way.. I spent a lot of money in the arcade halls on this one. a real arcade classic!

[Delta1908]

Is there s way to play this game on PSP?

[BlueKewne]

You can download a homebrew Sega Master System ROM and Emulator and do it like that.

[gojohnniegogo]

Good, honest commentary there, well done.

[soccerstarr12]

[cool70200]

I remember when I was a teen back in the 80's I couldnt beat this one, but super hangon I got real good at.

[BenJabituya]

I hope Sega decides to release this game in a compilation for the PS2 and PSP.

[leslielove]

[leslielove]

hang on will all ways be my fav sega game in the world i hope it get ported on psps on sega nexy classics games i hope i love to put t music from hang on on my psp

[eric829]

I've been playing this game for YEARS and i finally defeated it ( at least the upright version ha ) for the first time recently in an arcade in New Hampshire. you are right in saying you need a crashless run; you ran the first three stages cleanly and you still were five seconds off the starting time. i had actually seen a version of this someone can beat this game ( and EnduroRacer ) they can boast a bit :)

[leslielove]

god this is my fva sega game in the wolrd your very good i what to get a sitdown one i love the music at the end wean you put your name on it wish it get ported on psp sega classic 2 if it comes out
