Manx TT Super Bike (マンクスTT スーパーバイク) is a Sega Model 2A CRX 3D arcade motorbike racing game developed by Sega AM3 and Sega AM4 . It was initially released in 1995.
It can be considered a spiritual successor to the Sega arcade game Man T.T. (1976).
Gameplay
Unlike similar games which Sega had released in the past (most notably the Hang-On series), Manx TT Super Bike is set in a real-life scenario, having players race around the Isle of Man TT circuit . Eight arcade cabinets can be linked together similar to Daytona USA , making it very popular in arcades of the era.
Bikes
The Model 2 and Saturn/PC arcade modes, all bikes are identical, with the colour being dictated in the former by the cabinet settings. Saturn/PC mode however has a selection of bikes with different statistics.

History
Legacy
The game was brought to the Sega Saturn and PC in 1997 by Psygnosis , Perfect Entertainment and Tantalus Interactive . These versions were distributed under the Sega Sports brand (and in the case of the US versions, the short lived "Sega Racing" brand), and feature a Redbook audio soundtrack. The Saturn version cuts back on the graphical fidelity or the Model 2 version, however the PC version improves on the formula, offering higher resolution graphics and better sound.
Many of the unsold Manx TT Super Bike arcade cabinets were converted into Motor Raid ones, a futuristic motorbike game released in 1997.
