<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Hang On''' is a [[motorcycle racing]] [[arcade game]] developed by [[Sega]] and released in [[1985]]. It is considered one of the first games to feature a full-body experience, as players use a motorcycle-like cabinet to control the game. The game was designed by [[Yu Suzuki]], a prominent figure in the video game industry.<br />
<br />
==Gameplay==<br />
In ''Hang On'', players control a motorcycle racer competing in a series of timed races. The objective is to reach checkpoints before the timer runs out, extending the time available to complete the race. The game features a third-person perspective, with the player viewing the action from behind the motorcycle.<br />
<br />
The arcade cabinet is notable for its innovative design, which allows players to lean left and right to steer the motorcycle, simulating the experience of riding a real bike. This physical interaction was a significant advancement in arcade game design at the time.<br />
<br />
==Development==<br />
''Hang On'' was developed by [[Sega AM2]], a division of Sega responsible for many of the company's most successful arcade games. The game was directed by [[Yu Suzuki]], who would later go on to create other influential titles such as ''[[Out Run]]'' and ''[[Shenmue]]''. The development team aimed to create a realistic motorcycle racing experience, which was achieved through the use of advanced graphics and the innovative arcade cabinet.<br />
<br />
==Legacy==<br />
''Hang On'' is considered a landmark title in the history of arcade games. It was one of the first games to use 16-bit graphics, which allowed for more detailed and realistic visuals compared to earlier 8-bit games. The game's success led to several sequels, including ''[[Super Hang-On]]'' and ''Hang-On GP''.<br />
<br />
The innovative control scheme and realistic graphics of ''Hang On'' influenced many subsequent racing games and arcade titles. It is often cited as a precursor to modern racing simulators and is remembered as a classic of the arcade era.<br />
