A good Genesis conversion of the arcade bike racer with an extra mode, cheap among US carts and cheaper still in Europe.
This is the Genesis version of Super Hang-On, developed and published by Sega. It came out in Japan on 6 October 1989, in North America in November 1989 and in Europe in November 1990. It includes a port of the full arcade game and an additional original mode in which you recruit sponsors and earn money to buy better bike parts.
Mean Machines called it an excellent copy of the coin-op with all of the original's features and an extra challenge game, and said no Mega Drive owner should be without it. Mega Action called it one of the best driving games on the system.

Before you buy
Among US carts it sits below the middle, and the risk of a fake is low. The European cart usually costs less than the US one, loose and complete, while the Japanese cart usually costs somewhat more and has a different cartridge shape. A complete US copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
