Scorcher is a futuristic racing video game released among other systems for the Sega Saturn. It was the last game to be developed by Zyrinx before disbanding. The Japanese Saturn version of the game is the rarest release on the platform. The game was built on the graphics engine used by Zyrinx in their 1995 32X technical demo, but converted to use the Saturn's 3D hardware capabilities.

During development the game was known as Vertigo.
