Hang On (ハングオン Hangu On) is an arcade game designed by Yu Suzuki and released by Sega in 1985 which can be played in Shenmue and Shenmue II.
Gameplay
Hang On is a motorcycle racing game which has the player against the clock and crossing the finishing line before the time runs out. There is also a strong emphasis on steadying at turns and avoiding obstacles. For Ryo Hazuki to play it costs ¥100 at the You Arcade in Yokosuka and $5 at the Yellow Head Building in Kowloon.
Rewards
Ryo can also win a copy of the game to play on his Sega Saturn at the Hazuki Residence by winning second prize in the Raffle at the Tomato Convenience Store in Dobuita or the Harbor Lounge in the New Yokosuka Harbor District. Also by earning a score of 10,000,000 or more at You Arcade, Ryo will obtain a miniature capsule toy of the arcade cabinet. By clearing the game with one credit, he will earn a certificate from Yuji Nito the owner of You Arcade that has Yuji's face on it and a message congratulating him on his great skills. Same goes for if Ryo meets these conditions in the Hang On machine at the Yellow Head Building, but the certificate will be different and have a picture of Shun Gao and a different message that congratulates him.
