Fans of my channel may remember I did a GameBoy Advent Countdown a couple of years back & a Jagvent Calendar last year - a different mystery game each day of December. I thought I'd do something a similar this year for the Sega Master System - a console I have lots of fond memories of.
I won't reveal the game in the Title but in the Description.......well that's a different matter. Does anyone other than me actually read them?
This is Hang On by Sega - a port of their Yu Suzuki developed smash hit bike racer in the arcade. These machines were super loud & drowned out other machines around them.
Obviously it is cut down from the arcade release but this is a super impressive, incredibly smooth racing game. I actually own this multiple times - I have it on the Sega Card format, the cartridge (which I play here via PowerBase convertor) as well as built into a couple of my consoles. It was also included on a couple of dual game carts alongside Astro Warrior & Safari Hunt.
It's perhaps the quintessential Master System game but the fact it was an early title, the small ROM size & built into many systems means it does tend to get overlooked (despite being so well known) or under-appreciated. Still plays really well.
The sequels are also well worth a play. Super Hang-On on Megadrive is great fun & the 3D Ages release on 3DS is an absolute blast. i also loved the Saturn game - when played with the Arcade Racer - another game I need to make a video for. Just need enough time to capture them all!
Speaking of capture - not sure what happened when I captured this - picture shift & low volume. I may redo the video at some point as I had such a good time replaying this for the first time in years!
This is my original PAL copy from back in the day played through a Powerbase convertor on my CDX/MultiMega through a Retrotink 5X for ease of capture.
Expect a different Master System game every day. Happy Christmas!
