Note: although the Atari ST version may look a little janky today, I can assure you that when it came out it blew people away. Its creators were proudly bringing it around to show at exhibitions and all the computer magazines went bonkers over it. For the time, it was very impressive.
The reason why the X68000 ports were often arcade-perfect was due to the fact that a lot of Japanese companies at the time used the X68K to programme their games in the first place! Meaning it was indeed the closest that most people could get to an arcade experience at home.
@JustJamie1983 it's appreciated especially the "fan interaction" It's actually nice to be surprised by what is next and it's always a positive review. ❤
I rarely subscribe to new channels now. Jamie channel got me to subscribe. Great high quality regularly uploaded new videos on this channel. A real treat compared with many others regurgitated the same type of retro content. Love seeing all these different ports compared against each other. I like seeing how the cpc stacks up because of the vivid colour palette and not being familiar with that system.
Nostalgia prevails as always regarding my memories of the C64 version. Playing it in my friends house, then buying it myself as part of the Hit Squad budget series. The graphics and flow of racing action is shocking and shoddy, and it isnt fun to play. But! Man, that soundtrack. I love all of the tunes on offer to select to 'race' to. Those tunes still hold up, and the memories Ive got revolve around the ingame music. In the Megadrive years, I rented out this many o'time and thought it was great. I remember buying a second hand copy of it in a video store when I was 14. Loving these videos!
I had the Genesis/Mega Drive version, and the Gameboy Advance collection. I agree with your assessment here. The Sega 16 bit console version was very good at the time, with the console making the most with what it had. the X68000 as others mentioned was often used as the dev kit for many a 16 bit arcade game. And the Gameboy Advance version just nails it. And portable to boot.
I personally had the Amiga A500 version and was pretty happy with it but the Amiga had so many amazing racing games that were better, in my opinion, so I don't remember playing it that much. I forgot how good the Gameboy Advanced was. I wish I kept my one. 4 player Mario Kart using the link cable was one of the best times ever. Thanks Jamie for another great video.
Played the Mega Drive/Genesis version on Sega Smash Pack II. Never thought it could be outdone. Definitely going to have to check out that Game Boy Advance version.
I Love Super hang on. Even have a t-shirt (that I never wear) for me, it’s up there with out run and chase HQ as my favourite games to play. Love Super scalers. I play this on my PS3 and it’s a perfect arcade port. Just awesome! Thanks for this video Jamie 👍
I think I've mentioned this on another video, and i know it's not one of Capcoms biggest arcade games, but Tiger Road has a few home versions. I got my C64 version from WH Smiths, i think it might have been done by US Gold.
I remember playing on the sit down version in the arcade. It seemed more difficult than arcade Out Run. When I played them later on Sega Mega Drive, Hang On was much easier.
I grew up playing the Amiga version. I was one of the first Amiga games I got, on a budget release. I still have the same floppy disk since back in 1992 and IIRC it still works.
I had this under Speccy And loved it as a kid, I've seen other versions but never actually played them including the arcade version, Glad that you thought the spectrum version was decent 😂 It was nice to hear your opinions of The Other versions of the game
Ahh, pleasantly surprised by your favourite version😅. Haven't played that port myself but considering the sound, silky smooth framerate and that it's portable I can see why it wins out. The most I've played Hang-On is admittedly on Shenmue, in the Arcade while waiting for the "Sailors" :)
I just knew the C64 port would be at the bottom before I clicked. I remember the other horrible stuff in it, but forgot how ear splitting the sound effects were😬😬😬
One of my greatest gaming moments was on the ST version. At a motorbike exhibition event my dad was very proud of his son that day who beat all the bikers, literally at their own game. I chalk it up to the Konix Speedking joystick that I didn't own. I never did better at home after that in fact.
You're probably right with this one. It's all about the sprite scaling which the GB Advance seems to nail ...even if the road in the foreground looks like like it was done on Ceefax.
Your ranking order is just fine; it's not an official vanilla port but my favorite way to play this game is the Mega Drive MSU version using the arcade arrange soundtrack. Once you experience the game while listening to an amazing melodic guitar-driven hard rock rendition of Hard Road (From the anniversary album) it just doesn't get better than that. Also the Mega Drive has the more robust career mode to add some value to the package.
I recall that C64 abomination well. It swiftly became fodder for multi cassette compilations and free magazine cover tapes. Not quite as awful as Hard Drivin', but that is hardly even faint praise.
I played the Amiga version. I used to be able to complete the Beginner track, but could never master any of the others. One thing that really used to piss me off is that the Amiga version (and to a lesser extent, the ST version) is the only one where the other bikes intentionally try to hit you. Watch the arcade footage, all the other bikes are going straight on straightaways, and turning properly on curves. Now look at the Amiga footage, the other bikes are always coming across the track toward you. Going into curves, they will often zip across to the outside edge where you are, hit you, then instantly zip back to the other side.
With the original C64 music - I think the composer was a fan of Blancmange, because the "Sunset Rider" in-game music sounds suspiciously like a cover of "Don't Tell Me". Could just be coincidence, but...
The Amiga version is one of my favorite Amiga games, mostly because of the mouse control for steering. I just like that so much more than trying to control it with a stick/pad. I just really like that control method. That's why I prefer the Amiga version to the Genesis (Megadrive) version (which is very good).
Oh no I remember that on the C64.. I didnt even recognise the sprite, I thought it was a Chess Bishop piece. I think I even cried when I played it first. Yet another one I went and got my money back for... thank god we had Super Cycles to placate us! :)
well that's it we have covered all the games on the sega ages cartridge on the gba i hope everyone can see now just how much of a miracle that collection of gems 💎 are to have on 1 tiny cart but as for me I've stood all i can stand and i can stands no more I'm now going to have to search thru my games and root out my gba sp and play it again but i will have to put the infinite time cheat in or i have no chance .maybe we could do a compare the sega ages comps from different systems as they has been a few of varying degrees in quality and game selection for many different platforms the Saturn version is a fav of mine just a idea though 🤔 but good list i agreed 100 per cent with your order 👍
Even though the Amstrad version was a Spectrum port it was surprisingly playable. There are better motorbike racing games on Amstrad though. I also played the MD version via a compilation ( Italia 90 and Columns the other two games I think )
Well with C64 racing games you had two options. Either make the road follow the geometry of the vehicle which stayed in the middle of the screen, and have really bad framerates, or have the road sticck edge to edge to the sides of the screen and mostly move the vehicle left and right towards said edges, which gave better frame rates, but gave a feeling of playing that 80s tabletop racing game called "Tomy Turnin’ Turbo Dashboard". Both cases resulted in most C64 racers being crap (yeah even the precious outrun conversion).
For a company with suck a decent track record as Electric Dreams to handle Hang on in the way they did was a huge let down. The C64 version was a disgrace and while the Amstrad version is a reasonable enough Spectrum port doing a port rather than it's own version was sheer laziness
Another fantastic video, I have really enjoyed these, keep them coming! 😊 btw not sure if you’ve done a Powedrift video yet but I remember back in the day buying the Amiga version and was so disappointed with it. Not seen any other version but thankfully we did get to see some almost perfect versions on the Saturn, Dreamcast & 3DS
@@JustJamie1983 awesome!! Btw, going back to Super Hang On, my first original experience of it was actually on the abysmal C64 version, which I’m not sure if you know but I think it was never officially released !! I was only able to get it because my mum knew a lady who was doing those old Freemans catalogue which had it in there so we ordered it and it actually arrived !! I presume some companies did get their hands on it before Electric Dreams withdrew it !! 😬 truly awful version vs how it should of been done with Super Cycle which was fantastic. Then eventually I got an ST and was blown away by that version, then after upgrading to the Amiga which blew me away still ! Great memories of those versions but still recovering from the C64 version 😂😂
I just need to remap the controller like any modern motorbike game, i.e. using the triggers to accelerate and brake, and I could play Super Hang On on the Amiga for hours, and hey I didn't know version number 1, with an LCD shader and some filters and it would be perfect! "Arcade Port Rankings" is becoming one of my favorites.
The GBA port was arguably the best done port on that 4-in-1 cart (After Burner was too slow and lacked the intensity, Space Harrier was better but still felt slower when compared to the arcade original, and Outrun was basically tied with Super Hang-On in terms of capturing the arcade gameplay and sense of speed). But for me, the Genesis port had a leg up thanks to the career mode it came with. That gave the game a longevity that the other ports lacked.
Sega were the absolute masters of innovation for immersive arcade machines. The Hang On/Super Hang On bikes, Outrun car, Enduro Racer crosser, Thunder Blade chopper, the awesome AfterBurner, but their ultimate was the G Loc 360. Back on topic though… that C64 port was horrific!
this was interesting one of my favorite games i remember i played this in my local arcade hall in sweden in 1988 and it was the best i had ever seen at that time i dreamed of having an arcade at home i had a c64 i bought the original game but became so desperate never could afford an amiga, later bought the tough 16 bit version but it was not close to the akrade which I think had a 32 bit ?bought it too gameboy advance felt almost like the arcade version but was a little paler in the same vein, the Mame version became available and I got to enjoy the arcade in its entirety at home and then later versions for 3ds and virtul consule
I think the arcade used 16 bit math. It did use 3x 68000 cpu's vs home machines having only 1 68k cpu, if they were lucky. Then also custom scaling silicon too, if I remember correctly. This would have been exorbitantly expensive in 1987.
The 3ds version is the best imo it had a circuit where you could race all of the courses in one run in which your bike completely fell apart after you won.
I'm sure that the GBA version is the only one that has the smooth 60fps of the arcade. You can absolutely notice the smoothness which translates to faster and much better controls and gameplay.
Dang, it's a bit surprising seeing DOS version that low. But yeah control wise, it doesn't feel as good to play, still looks pretty nice though Other than that, this list is pretty acceptable! Also, the Gameboy Advance one surprised me the most
@@JustJamie1983 You said the GBA version wasn't worth reviewing as it came out after the Saturn one. But you are reviewing this version of Super Hang On on the same cart, which is good to see. I do appreciate the problems of including the 3DS versions (which we also argued about) because that's hard to do on an emulator which doesn't give the 3D experience. Anyhow, I'm pleased that you are including the GBA ones now so thank you.
Sorry to be "that guy" but you are comparing ports of this game and others using mostly, if not wholly, emulation? Which is OK but maybe that needs to be clarified, as framerate drops and suchlike can very often be due to issues with the emulation. Although if you own a Sharp 68000 set up I am jealous 🙂Also the max speed in the DOS version is 320kph, having done a quick search in UA-cam. Not sure if that's with the boost though, which I seem to remember being a feature of the game.
Ugh! When this video started I realise I've never seen, or at least played, the C64 version. Looks like a down graded enduro racer. I believe there is a good mega drive to hack with 60fps and better sized sprites
Just judging the sharps version on graphics alone at least I’m sorry but it doesn’t have the killer super hang on look. The gameboy, megadrive and even Amiga has it, but the sharp, being shallow and on looks alone, no way jose.
The Amstrad version is clearly another crappy Speccy port. Sprites converted to mono - and even worse: they kept the sprite "design" that the upper part of the sprites has a different colour. Sure, that avoids colour clash on a Speccy but completely unnecessary on the Amstrad. With a few days more of development It could have been at least a decent 4 colour game.
hard to imagine a game that released in the arcades in 1987 that it took over 15 years for a near perfect translation of the arcade. 3 decades for a review to determine port hierarchy....priceless.
had this on the speccy, it was a belter.... never finished it, found it too hard, don't think i had it on the ST but i do remember the arcade with the bike, was fkkn very hard. Boss list as always mate. PS: Didn't know the amstrad was a speccy port, but it definitly is... weird. Also the master system version iirc was actually alright.

Was, did, and I still love it. The Amiga one uses its chips very well too.
@@8bitrocketstudios Yup, I had the Amiga version and it was great.

Not this one. That was mainly the Capcom games.
not seen someone churn out such quality videos on such a tight schedule. thanks

I guess I remember the Hang On Master System version on a slim card instead of the more popular cartridges.
That'll be the Hu-card? Wasn't too popular in the UK.
I say that the PS3 port, by M2, is my favorite. The stereoscopic 3D looked incredible, and it had some great options, and extras.
I personally had the Amiga A500 version and was pretty happy with it but the Amiga had so many amazing racing games that were better, in my opinion, so I don't remember playing it that much.

Awesome video, I am one of the folks who requested this game, one of the greatest arcade games.
Yes. It's been on the list for a while. Thanks again 😀
SMS had a great port also
Yup. That was the original Hang-On game.
I was going to say the same but yes that's hang-on not super hang-on

Whoah, a GBA 1st. I like its sense of speed and high frame rate with many bikers on the screen.
The helmet and leathers design of your rider is based upon a real life world champion rider of the early/mid 80's, Freddie Spencer.
Glad to see the GBA port get top spot. Really good conversion. That said, the x68000 had some awesome ports. Shame they're so expensive their days.
They always have been lol

Not at all
I'm sure that the GBA version is the only one that has the smooth 60fps of the arcade. You can absolutely notice the smoothness which translates to faster and much better controls and gameplay.
I had the speccy version, and I used the turbo button 😂😘
Ah good for you.
Dang, it's a bit surprising seeing DOS version that low. But yeah control wise, it doesn't feel as good to play, still looks pretty nice though

A really solid game on the old GBA.
Revolution X pls. 😊
there was a super hang-on jnr aswell
Ah cool
Christ that 64 version. Ive never seen that before. What a travesty.
It truly was lol
C64 SKELETON ride!
Wow. That c64 port... 328kph and the background crawls past 🤦
Haa
The ST and Amiga ports have really jerky opponents. As the bikes get closer to you doing 260kmh they move all over the track. Terrible for passing.
Good to see you are now reviewing the GBA ports having criticised me for criticising you for not covering the GBA version of Space Harrier.
Not entirely certain that I criticised you and would likely have given a reason why that was..

@JustJamie1983 awesome! I know it's not considered a great game but I do have a fondness for it. It has a certain attitude that I love.
Where's the Sega master system version ?
Why would it be here? This is for the sequel.

"That guy" comes and goes from time to time 😉
Wow, that C64 port was AWFUL. I don't feel so jealous of the C64 anymore lol.
You know. As much as the 64 is my favourite all time micro. Admittedly it did have some of the worst arcade ports.
Please, if you didn’t already- WEC Le Mans
At some point. Please see my playlist for this series
The C64 version was awful, but I loved the music, especially Sunset Rider. As bad as it was, I played it a lot
The c64 version was sodding terrible… hated having it and actually recorded over the tape with a dj set 30 minute minimix which used to be on radio 1
Yup. An absolute stinker right next to Chase HQ.
a vastly superior use of that tape lol
Absolutely. Jason Donovan would have been better recorded over it than the game. A complete waste of reel.
Ugh! When this video started I realise I've never seen, or at least played, the C64 version. Looks like a down graded enduro racer.
I believe there is a good mega drive to hack with 60fps and better sized sprites
You know there's a turbo button right?
I loved this on the amiga. But you do have to master the turbo to do well
Indeed i do. Watch the video 😀
You forgot the 3ds version, the best one.
Did you watch the intro?
Just judging the sharps version on graphics alone at least I’m sorry but it doesn’t have the killer super hang on look. The gameboy, megadrive and even Amiga has it, but the sharp, being shallow and on looks alone, no way jose.
This was a bad recording. It dosent look like this in reality.
The Amstrad version is clearly another crappy Speccy port. Sprites converted to mono - and even worse: they kept the sprite "design" that the upper part of the sprites has a different colour. Sure, that avoids colour clash on a Speccy but completely unnecessary on the Amstrad. With a few days more of development It could have been at least a decent 4 colour game.
Out of interest. Did you leave out the master system version for any particular reason?
Yes. Because this is the sequel.
😄 I never realised that.
Jesus that C64 version is awful to look at, what the hell were they thinking??? 🤨. I had the speccy version and always highly rated it
Yup. Definitely a good port for speccy.
I had the c64 version horrible game speed king was was much better
hard to imagine a game that released in the arcades in 1987 that it took over 15 years for a near perfect translation of the arcade. 3 decades for a review to determine port hierarchy....priceless.
x68000 not first??? unsuscribe!!! 😂😂😂
How dare me!
had this on the speccy, it was a belter.... never finished it, found it too hard, don't think i had it on the ST but i do remember the arcade with the bike, was fkkn very hard.
Boss list as always mate.
PS: Didn't know the amstrad was a speccy port, but it definitly is... weird.
Also the master system version iirc was actually alright.
Yup. I only covered Super Hang-On. MS only had Hang-On.
