Cool Riders is a 1995 racing arcade game. It is the spiritual sequel to Sega's OutRunners. It has a similar premise to OutRunners, though rather than driving cars, the player rides bikes. It also uses digitized graphics similar to Mortal Kombat.[1]

Cool Riders has only recently been emulated in the MAME emulator. This is because it was the only arcade game on the Sega H1 Board hardware, which used a unique graphics compression scheme.[2]
