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.

Oh man what a game.
Ok, so I have previously played some of the Sega racing games like Outrun, Daytona or Rally, so I was expecting a brutally difficult game once again, and Hang-On did not disappoint. I quickly lost count of all the tries necessary to even reach its fourth stage, which is probably the hardest, let alone beat it.
I was eventually able to beat the game in Easy difficulty, and then started practicing the later stages via savestates before tackling Normal. After many attempts, I was finally able to cross the finish line in a complete playthrough and I have to say it felt very rewarding.
I can heartily say that I recommend playing Hang-On, just be ready for a lot of crashing.
