Coca-Cola: Suzuka 8 Hours[a] is a 1992 motorcycle racing arcade game developed and published by Namco.
The game was made available in two-player cabinets featuring two monitors and two replica motorcycles; players accelerate their bikes by holding down the throttle grip and brake by using the brake lever, while steering is accomplished by physically leaning the bike left or right.
The first player to complete a preset number of laps (between 3 and 6 and adjustable by the arcade operator) wins the race; as in Final Lap and Dirt Fox (the latter of which was only released in Japan), if they manage to finish the race in less than a preset time, they have the opportunity to enter their initials upon the game's "best time" (as opposed to high score) table.
[7] It was one of America's top five best-selling arcade video games 1992, receiving the Gold Award at the American Amusement Machine Association (AAMA) trade show for sales excellence.
[12] In their review of the SNES version, GamePro criticized the absence of sound from CPU competitors' engines and the "distracting" music, but they praised the responsive controls and "sharp" graphics.
