Power Drift is a 1988 racing game developed for the Sega Y Board arcade platform. It is a racing game, designed by Yu Suzuki which makes heavy use of sprite scaling and rotation. It is notable for having a tilting camera which moves with the steering wheel. There are twelve playable characters.

Power Drift was ported to the Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, DOS, MSX, TurboGrafx-16 and ZX Spectrum, with each version having to sacrifice the the sprite effects. Eventually it was ported to the Sega Saturn with the sprite scaling and rotation in-tact, however this version was not released outside of Japan. It was also included in Yu Suzuki Game Works Vol. 1 for the Dreamcast.
