Converted from the Sega arcade game, this was one of the first motorbike racers for Commodore’s new Amiga and what a cracker it was. The game followed its parent’s arcade remit in that you had to ride your bike over progressively harder courses and make the various checkpoints for those oh-so-valuable extra seconds.

Super Hang-On not only managed to be swift and good-looking but it was one of the first games to evangelise the use of the mouse as a viable game controller. You could flick your bike this way and that through the game’s many tight corners and it was a joy to do.

There were other motorbike racers available at the time (and we’re talking late ‘80s here) but none managed to capture the arcade feel so well. There was none of this nodding towards the simulation benches in Super Hang-On, you were playing an arcade game – unashamedly.

Motorbike racers are more prevalent now and most root themselves firmly in the simulation camp (Superbike World Championship on PC for example). Super Hang-On will always remain one of our firm bikin’ faves though and a prime example of how arcade games can sometimes translate to the home computer wonderfully.
