Super Hang On is a bit overrated

[Spector]

I had never played this game before, and I don't think I missed too much. Don't get me wrong, it's really fast and looks very nice, but it's unfairly hard to the point of killing the addictiveness. On beginner mode I quickly got the stage three. A week of playing later, I was able to reach...stage three. The bends are so extreme it can only be completed as a severe memory test. Not only that, it's so unfair the way bikers bump into you from behind when you try to accelerate back to full speed after a crash. There's nothing you can do about it because you can't see them. Did anyone ever actually get to the end of the beginner course? How the hell did you do it??

Not really played it much. If it's any consolation the ST version is excellent!

I've always thought it was. I don't think it's that good. Enduro Racer is far better.

[Morkin]

Though it was OK but yep, completely agree, Enduro Racer is way better...

I disagree with the above. Super Hang-on has better graphics, playability (you can even adjust the sensitivity of the bike) and is much longer and more varied. That's not to say Enduro Racer is bad, far from it; but to my experience, Super Hang-On is superior in every aspect, and one of the best coin-op conversions ever available on the Spectrum.

And yes, back in the day I got to the end of the beginner course (Africa). It was quite a feat though!

Enduro Racer is far better.

I've not played Super Hang On enough to have a reliable opinion, but considering that Enduro Racer hasn't aged very well (in my opinion), that sentence makes me have an new view about Super Hang On...

[SteveSmith]

It always surprised me that Enduro Racer (one of the best racing games on the Speccy) and Outrun (one of the worst) were by the same person. (I've not played either for years though).

Enduro Racer (one of the best racing games on the Speccy)

Nonsense. Clearly, Continental Circus is the best.
