Power Drift

A racing game from Yu Suzuki, the father of Sega's early "physical experience" games, which includes such other gems as Out Run and After Burner II!

Take control of a monster machine and race through three-dimensional courses. Along with Galaxy Force II, this game made use of the revolutionary Y-Board technology.

With over 25 courses and a catchy soundtrack, it's no wonder this title ranked number 1 in user feedback in what games they'd like to see added to the SEGA 3D Classics series. We are pleased to offer this port with a new widescreen view option as well as a presentation that mimics an old arcade cabinet, including its movements and sound effects.

Gameplay

Gameplay

Press the X Button to begin. To progress onward, you need to finish the race in the top three after four laps. Accelerate with the Y Button, brake with the B Button, and press L or R to shift gears.

If you finish in fourth place or below, you will have the option to try again. Try to place first in all five courses, and a special race will become available.

In addition, players now have new gear shifting options not present in the original arcade release!
