Hard Drivin'

Your objective is to race around the course as fast as possible and hit as many checkpoints as possible.

If you hit a checkpoint you gain extra time to go farther.

You will see traffic on the road both in your direction and coming down the opposite direction, so be careful when you pass...

The course has two sections: speed track, and stunt track.

Speed track is longer, but you can usually achieve higher speeds.

Stunt track requires you to perform several stunts such as jumping bridges, driving through a loop, and so on.

Crashing the car has no serious consequences and indeed shows a replay of your crash from a cinematic angle.

Admire your crash head-on into the cement truck, or clipping the minivan, or flying off the bridge in the wrong angle...

You lose several seconds as your car is "reset" and you get up to speed again.

The home conversions retain most of the then-advanced 3D graphics but lack the force-feedback that was in the arcade version.

Hard Drivin' for Sega Genesis is currently worth €11.69 loose, €15.02 complete in box, and €37.62 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Hard Drivin' has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Hard Drivin', loose is €11.69 and CIB is €15.02 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Hard Drivin' is currently worth €11.69 loose, versus €9.61 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
