Description of OutRun
Another popular SEGA arcade game converted to the IBM-PC. This time it's SEGA's 1986 arcade hit OutRun, the classic bitmap racer. The original arcade game just rocks, so get yourself an emulator and play the real thing instead of this mediocre conversion.
The graphics are awful, music is PC speaker only - but it's playable and can be quite some fun! Just don't compare it with the original. ;) But a short question to the related music files below: Is Jason Brooke actually David Whittaker? Their music sure sounds very similar. Fortunately the PC conversion of the sequel, Turbo OutRun, is much, much better.

Played two different versions of this game: Mega Drive port and Arcade original game. Both are fun, but that damn timer that ends game for you too fast is freaking annoying.

The favorite game of one of my friends back in the 80's. I myself found it a bit ordinary as I wasn't big on the racing games. Not bad though.

Bad review, are you joking, this was the game of the 80's?

I had this on C64 and it came with a music cassette of the sound track. When I git my first car, I used to play the sound track cassette sometimes when driving. It's a bizarre experience listening to 'Splash Wave' whilst doing only 30mph....

Nossa!!!! Tinha 13 anos (agora tenho 40) quando joguei pela primeira vez esse jogo. Também perdia horas na frente do pc tentando dar a melhor volta.. Eu era viciado nesse jogo. Obrigado por compartilhar.
Wow! Priate was 13 I first played this game (now'm 40 years old). Also lost hours in front of PC trying to give the best around. I was addicted to this game. Thanks for sharing.
