'''Hang-On''' is an [[arcade]] game released by [[Sega]] in [[1985]]. It is the world's first full-body-experience video game. In the game, the player controls a motorcycle against time and other computer-controlled bikes. The game was also built-in, in some versions of the [[Sega Master System]], as well being released as its own game and as combo cartridges with other games, such as [[Safari Hunt]] and [[Astro Warrior]]. | |||
Using a behind the motorcycle perspective, the player races a linear race track divided into several stages within a limited time. Reaching a checkpoint at the end of each stage extends the time limit. The game ends if the time runs out. | |||
The arcade game contains in-game billboards for Bridgestone (and their Desert Dueler tires), Shell, Garelli Motorcycles, TAG, John Player Special cigarettes, Forum cigarettes, and for "Marbor," an obvious parody of Marlboro cigarettes. There would be a controversy over cigarette ads in games marketed to children upon the release of another Sega racing game, [[Super Monaco GP]] in [[1989]]. | |||
There were two arcade cabinet designs - the usual upright machine, only with a handlebar and brake levers (instead of a joystick and buttons), and a sit-down version which looked roughly like a real motorcycle. To steer, the player leaned to tilt the bike, which then steered the in-game bike. The screen was mounted into the windshield area of the bike. | |||
