Cool Riders is a 1995 racing arcade game by Sega. It is the spiritual sequel to OutRunners and has a similar premise to it, though rather than driving cars, the player rides bikes. It also uses digitized graphics similar to Mortal Kombat. The Steppenwolf song "Born to Be Wild" is featured as the game's opening theme, as well as one of selectable in-race music.
Cool Riders was emulated by the MAME emulator in 2004, but it wasn't working until 2013. This is because it was the only arcade game on the Sega H1 Board hardware, which used a unique graphics compression scheme.
