Power Drift is a kart racing arcade game released by Sega in 1988. This racing game made much use of sprite-scaling to create a 3D effect, similar to contemporaries Out Run and Hang-On.
The object is to finish each race in third place or better in order to advance to the next stage. Players have the option of continuing if they finish the race in fourth place or lower before the game is over. However, the player's score will not increase upon continuing the game.
The tracks have a roller coaster feel to them, with lots of steep climbs and falls, as well as the ability to "fall" off higher levels. To add to this feeling, the sit-down cabinet was built atop a raised hydraulic platform, and the machine would tilt and shake quite violently.
