This one’s a real oddity, brought back to modern platforms courtesy of the good guys ‘n’ gals of Hamster. SNK’s Riding Hero, which blends painfully unfair sportsbike racing with bizarre RPG elements.
Launched in the arcades and on the home Neo Geo format in 1990, Riding Hero is SNK’s shameless rip-off of Sega’s far superior Hang-On. Those who’ve played the former can wheelspin tales of its ridiculously difficult mechanics, that allow you to pass other bikers on the track, only for them to get a miraculous speed boost and smash straight into your ass.
