Enduro Racer (エンデューロレーサー) is a dirt bike racing arcade game, based on the game engine written for Hang-On. It was released in the summer of 1986.
Contents
Gameplay
In Enduro Racer, the player drives a dirt bike across five stages, avoiding obstacles and trying to finish as fast as possible. The mechanics are much the same as Hang-On, with the player represented from a third-person view travelling into the screen, and a time limit which is extended after completing a stage. The game is controlled with a similar handlebar-style controller, or in the deluxe version, a full size bike which the player rides.
New to Enduro Racer are jumps, which require the player to pull back on the handlebars in order to get a good landing (you can also perform wheelies using this system). While other bikes serve as obstacles (like OutRun), there are also rocks and buggies to avoid, as well as different road surfaces which can affect speed and handling.
While the course in Hang-On is entirely flat, Enduro Racer introduces hills and dips to simulate a bumpy track. The scenery is also more varied - all elements which would be expanded on further with OutRun some months later.
History
Legacy
Like many of Sega's early arcade games, Enduro Racer was ported to the Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum, all with significant cutbacks and original music (except for the Spectrum and CPC ports, which used the original music and no music, respectively). Curiously, unlike most Sega arcade ports of this nature, no Amiga version was ever released - it is assumed one was planned at some stage, but it never surfaced.
Enduro Racer is also the only known Sega game to receive an officially licensed port to Thomson's MO5 line of computers in France.
Enduro Racer was also brought to the Sega Master System, albeit in a different form.
