IPX, TCP/IP, Modem and Serial connections are supported. Multi player is supported in this version and can be done over a variety of channels. Still the game can run at 640×480 which is higher than the Saturn or even the Arcade version. It seems the game will only render up to 30fps. This version supported both DirectX 5 and 3DFX Glide, the latter gives a visual difference that makes it similar to the arcade version sans the frame rate. The game’s graphics were considered to be impressive for the Sega Saturn’s capabilities, with colorful and detailed environments that recreated the feel of the arcade version. There are also options to change the bike model, which have unique stats across the different models. This version introduced new features including an FMV opening sequence and additional race modes. Sega ported the game to their home console of the era, the Sega Saturn in 1997. Really for a home port, the game could have done with further tracks being added to increase the replay value of the game. The Model 2 emulator is the most popular way to play this version of the game, with the MAME driver making steady progress but still unplayable in some regards. This version was considered to be graphically superior of the three versions but is the most basic in terms of content, featuring only two courses and just the arcade and time trial mode. The original arcade release runs on the model 2 hardware, specifically the 2A version. Like other Sega games of the era, this title was relased to the arcades first, then to their Saturn console and eventually to Microsoft Windows. The superbike challenge is unlocked after completing this mode. Practice Mode: Similar to arcade mode, choose a track and your bike which will have a unique stats for speed, acceleration and handling.Ĭhallenge Mode: a tournament mode where you have to race on all four tracks, coming in a 3rd or higher in each one. On the arcade version you have to hold the brake button when selecting a track to active time trial. Time Trial: Similar to time trial featured in other racing games, choose a track and a bike and try to get the lowest time. These tracks are also set in the early evening in the Saturn version, and early morning / dusk in the PC version. The home versions feature two additional tracks that are part of the PC/Saturn mode, these are reverse-mirror versions of the two arcade tracks and can only be selected in that mode. Both tracks share sections with each other and will split and re-join into their own different paths. Two courses are offered, Laxely Coast and T.T Course, the latter being the actual track used in the Isle of Mann races.
