  "Top Skater" is a Sega arcade game released in 1997. It was built on the Sega Model 2 hardware.

  The arcade game was one of the first of the era where arcade games were physically manipulated. For example, in Top Skater, you would stand on a virtual skateboard and move it side-to-side, manipulating the actions of the avatar in the game. Similar games were made for skiing, snowboarding and other sports of this nature.

  The game consisted of various ramps, rails and other skating objects from which the player could do tricks to gain points.

  A Top Skater machine can be briefly seen being played in the film Fat Albert.
