SEGA SATURN LEADS THE PACK AT ISLE OF MAN TT RACES

May, 1997

Sega is making its mark on the motorbike racing world by sponsoring the Sega Production TT race - part of this year's world famous Isle of Man TT tournament.

The sponsorship backs the release of Manx TT Super Bike, Sega's best-selling bike racing simulation videogame. The game has earned an army of fans and reached the top ten in the software charts. Manx TT Super Bike includes the Team Sega Suzuki specification machines, which were ridden by Jim Moodie and Shaun Harries in last year's Manx TT tournament.

At £44.99 (MRP), the Saturn exclusive title gives players the full experience of the authentic Manx TT and Laxey courses with a choice of eight bikes. Two more tough tracks are included in the game to further challenge players' riding skills. Three extra super bikes are hidden as exclusive features in the Saturn version of Manx TT.

For riders that want something a little different, Manx TT also includes one of Sega's notorious cheats. There's a special guest appearance from Dolly the genetic sheep superstar clone! On the game's Transmission Select screen, input the following code: up, up, down, down, left, right, Z, Y. Dolly will bleat to let you know she is ready to race super bike style!
