Hang On GP '95 - Sega Saturn

I haven't actually played this for about 7 years, but looking at it now compared to a lot of other older stuff I have looked at recently, this doesn't look all that bad now - the tracks are very bendy (hiding most of the scenery building) although a little short. The bike noise is awful as is the 'digital' animation and the octagon tyres on the bikes! ..... but it's good for a retro-laugh. Must have looked the dogs bollocks back in 1995 for a lot of people, although when you compare this to Ridge Racer........

To sum my point here on this title further, they should've just instead ported the original 1985 version of this game as well as its 1987 sequel that is Super Hang-On.

@ClassicTVMan81 YES MATE!!!! I agree they should have ported the original Hang On onto the Saturn - funny they never did that. Thank Heaven for the MAME emulator hehe

@nonterraqueous

I believe they actually did.

@FOZproductionz NO WAI!!!! the controls are a bit choppy with a normal controller, but if you get the hang of it, you will soon love it!

this, with Virtua Racing and Daytona USA, is in my Sega Saturn ROMs wishlist!

hmmm, alot of classic SEGA games just did not make the jump from Genesis to Saturn very well. Sonic couldn't even make the jump as far as a true new adventure/platformer goes. Saturn is more known for establishing newer SEGA franchises like Daytona, Virtua Cop, Panzer Dragoon and Virtua Fighter.

@FOZproductionz

With a little more care in the sound depot, as well as being more true to the arcade version that predates this version by a full 10 years, this could have sold better. As I said here before, they should have instead ported the original title and its 1987 follow-up, like they had with Space Harrier (also 1985), Out Run (1986) and After Burner (1987).

@ClassicTVMan81 so is this a shitty racing game ?
