Scorcher is a futuristic racing video game by Danish developer Zyrinx,[3] released in 1996 for the PC and in 1997 for the Sega Saturn. Originally announced under the name "Vertigo",[4] the game focuses on special motorcycles that reach up to 450 km/h racing through dangerous tracks in a dystopian year 2021.
Scorcher was one of the most graphically advanced Sega Saturn games of its time, enough so that Sega shipped an unfinished version of the game to third-party developers as a graphics demo for the Saturn.[5]
