Motor Raid (モーターレイド) is a racing video game released by Sega on its Model 2A arcade system board in 1997. In contrast to the realistic style of most of Sega's previous racing games, Motor Raid uses a futuristic aesthetic and gameplay supplemented by fighting elements.[2]
The game was released in single and two-player cabinets, which may be linked together to support up to four players.[3] Both are sit-down cabinets with model motorcycles, and were sold as an update kit for Manx TT Superbike.[4] Game modes include "Championship" and "Practice" and there are four playable characters, Geila, Gunz, Io and Robin.
Unlike other Model 2A racers like Manx TT Superbike and the original Sega Rally Championship, Motor Raid was not ported to the contemporary Sega Saturn or Windows 95. In 2018, it was made playable on consoles for the first time via an in-game arcade machine in the Yakuza spin-off Judgment[5] and its 2021 sequel Lost Judgment.
