Manx TT Super Bike 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.
Gameplay Unlike similar games which Sega had released in the past (most notably the Hang-On 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
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
