Audio Log: Super Hang On



Super Hang On was one of Sega's flagship racing titles in an era before they became dependent on a certain blue hedgehog. It was one of the earlier 3D racers in the 1980s and was met with enough enthusiasm to merit a port to the Sega Genesis. Time hasn't been overly kind to this game since the genre has continued evolving ever since, but one of the best elements of Super Hang On is still its 80s inspired music. Every song sounds like it could fit in with one of Rocky's training montages. Here are two of the best tracks on the game:






Winning Run

Sprinter


Composers: Katsuhiro Hayashi, Koichi Namiki, & Shigeru Ohwada



Audio Log is a weekly feature where I’ll be spreading my love of game music to anyone who’d like to hear the bleep bloops of the 80s and 90s or the sweeping orchestras of the modern generation.
