Power Sled is a full-motion bobsled racing simulator released for Sega Model 2 arcade hardware in 1996. It is a very large and expensive attraction which requires an operator to run it, so it is typically only found in large arcade centers (such as one of the SegaWorlds). The game is not coin operated, and is treated more like an amusement park ride than a traditional arcade game. Like most deluxe Sega attractions, Power Sled made its' debut at Joypolis centers in Japan. Three additional units were shipped to Sega's GameWorks arcades in the United States.

Gameplay

The game consists of two realistic bobsleds, each in front of an 80" screen. Several units may be linked together to create an eight-player racing experience. Players use a single, large joystick to maneuver down the snowy track, while the bobsleds move and tilt along with the action of the game. The sleds gain speed by not crashing into the walls. Each bobsled accommodates one driver, who controls the sled, and one passenger.
