The Story Behind Harley-Davidson & L.A. Riders
is a 1997 open world racing video game developed by Sega AM1. It was developed for the Sega Model 3 Step 2.0 arcade hardware, featuring popular licensed motorcycles manufactured by Harley-Davidson, and is set in an open-world recreation of Los Angeles. Riders was composed by Masanori Takeuchi, who had worked for Sega AM1 at the time.
In the initial Japanese release, the game's opening song, "All Around the World", featured a vocal track. In the game's international release, a "wah-wah pedal" effect was used in place of its original vocals. An official soundtrack album for the game was released on March 18, 1998, by Pony Canyon through its Marvelous Entertainment brand, who published soundtracks of many other Sega arcade games.
What You'll Play
A subwoofer is mounted inside the seats of both cabinets to provide additional rumble feedback for players while sitting on the motorcycle. The game was sold in two styles of arcade cabinet: a deluxe version that uses a 50-inch projection monitor and seat tilt, and a more standard sit-down cabinet with a smaller, 29-inch CRT monitor. Riders was AM1's second project for the Sega Model 3 series of arcade platforms, following Sega Bass Fishing (known in Japan as Get Bass).
During gameplay, players can change the background music with seven different songs by pressing the Music Select button, and can activate the bike's horn with the Start button. It was also the first game to use the Step 2 version of the Model 3 board. Below the handlebar mechanism is a plastic gas tank with View Change, Music Select, and Start buttons.
