Top Skater / 4K Sega Model 2 emulator / RTX 2080ti
8Top Skater is an arcade game released by Sega in 1997, and built on the Sega Model 2 hardware.[2] It was one of the first arcade games to feature a skateboard controller interface.[3]
In Top Skater, players stand on a skateboard-like platform which swung side-to-side or tilted, manipulating the actions of the avatars in the game. The game has ramps, rails and other skating objects from which the player can do tricks to gain points.[1] The player has a limited amount of time in which to perform tricks, but can extend this time by collecting time bonus rings or by performing certain tricks.[1]
The game's style is like that of the later Sega game Crazy Taxi, noticeably the character art design and music type. Top Skater was also directed by Kenji Kanno. A sequel called Air Trix was released in 2001.
