Does this game even need an introduction?
When I complete a longplay video, I always try and write up a review about my experience with the game: the good, bad and anything in between. All of this seems somewhat pointless when it comes to the original arcade version of OutRun because you all know it's fantastic and is one of the greatest driving games ever made.
That last sentence is more relevant than you might think. When marketing the game, Yu Suzuki described OutRun not as a racing game, but as a driving game instead. Having played the game, you start to understand what he meant by this.
OutRun is a point-to-point race across the continent against the clock. The game takes you on a road-trip across five different stages in order to reach the end goal. You initially have seventy-five seconds to reach the checkpoint at the end of the stage, at which point your remaining time will be extended by a set amount, allowing you to continue playing; fail to make the next checkpoint before your time runs out and it's game over.
Setting the game on public roads rather than a race track means that there's plenty of traffic to avoid. Colliding with another car will result in you losing control of your car, as well as losing precious seconds from the already tight time limit. Worse still, hitting a roadside obstacle will cause you to crash, hurling your car into the air and catapulting your driver and passenger out in the process...these people have obviously never heard of seatbelts!
The game is famous for being non-linear in that it allows the player to choose which route to take to the finish line. The road forks at the end of the stage, allowing the player to choose which route to take to the finish line, which adds replay value to the game. Some stages are more challenging than others thanks to narrower roads, or more road-side obstacles, so players are likely to have their own preferred route to the finish line.
The game features absolutely phenomenal graphics for the time and displays them at a flawless 60 Hz refresh rate. This was made possible thanks to Sega's second generation Super Scalar technology and powerful hardware (2 x Motorola 6800 CPUs clocked at 12.5 MHz each). The only problem is that none of the home conversions really came anywhere close to recreating the arcade experience at home, although the Mega Drive version is probably the best of these. It wasn't until a version arrived for the Sega Saturn that you could play a 100% accurate version of the arcade game in the comfort of your own home.
For once, the music is equally as memorable as the graphics. The game features three separate music tracks that the player can select before starting the race, and they're all brilliant (my favourite being Magical Sound Shower). The audio is remarkably crisp and clear and features plenty of high quality, digital instrument samples. In fact, so great was the music that I remember the C64 home version coming bundled with a cassette tape that had the original arcade soundtrack on it!
The game was available as a traditional upright cabinet, as well as the deluxe sit-down versions that featured a moving cabin, force-feedback steering wheel and big colour screen. This would have been the centre-piece in any arcade and Sega was sparing no expense in proving their dominance in the gaming arena during the 1980's.
Of course, graphics and sound are nothing if the game isn't any fun to play. Fortunately, it's one of the best racing experiences out there and also one of the toughest. You'll need sharp reflexes and a good memory to dodge the traffic whilst staying on the track; it's all too easy to get distracted and end up a smouldering wreck at the side of the road. On occasion there can be traffic blocking all the lanes, so you really need to pick your moment as to when to overtake.
If I have have one issue with the game then it's the inconsistency in how the car handles when taking corners. Some corners can be taken at full speed, whilst others will see you skidding off the road despite the sharpness/curvature of the road being exactly the same. Dealing with this in a circuit racer is easier because it takes less time to memorise a specific track, whereas trying to remember all the twists and turns in a non-linear race whilst dodging traffic is much more difficult.
At the end of the day, this is a minor issue and OutRun continues to be a fantastic racing game that is still worth taking the time to play.
So, start the engine, turn up the stereo and enjoy one of the finest driving games ever made.

Your game is so boring
My Gosh!!!!!, i couldnt believe i can see this game again today after 37yrs. Remembering i was one of the best player of this game in Hong Kong arcade. lots of people watching me to finish this game, I got crazy of this, everyday after office work in Hong Kong i went to arcade and have learned this and become expert of this OUTRUN...my 1988 my moments and teenage days in H.K..Now in real life I was one of Fast & Furious driver on the road and i lived and settled in the Philippines..
i dont know if you play games these days ? but i understood it is in yakuza 0 ( zero ) .. its 1988 in that game and you can vist arcade halls were it is
Love your comment my friend! I am now 38 years of age and still remember playing this in the arcade. Fuck those were the good times!
So did you get all the 5 endings?
@@ipainthouses3084x
Thank you for sharing such a lovely memory. I miss the arcade days where crowds of people would gather and watch
This is where my obsession started. Just seeing it and hearing the music brings back the smell of popcorn in a dark arcade illuminated only by neon lights. 30 years gaming strong!
Same here Your Majesty Gonzo the Great! Same here!!!
Yes if only they would bring arcades back
@@HARDESTBOOMyep. Hopefully they remaster it for PS5 next year.
@@purwantiallan5089doesn't need a remaster. The 60FPS version released for the Saturn and available on the Switch is perfect. Or play it on MAME for the PC. If they remaster it, they'll ruin it.
Nothing drew a crowd quite like Outrun! Especially when you were nearing the end. Everyone wanted you to do it!!! Happy days
Quite right. Passing Breeze was the standout track... shame it never made the C64 conversion. But the other two were good too.
What about Chase HQ?
@@GeeksoChic Good shout! As a game I found Chase more exciting. I just don’t quite remember it drawing the same crowds.
@@GeeksoChic oh my goodness!!!!!! Someone remembers that game!!!!😁 It always stuck in my mind, cause there was this guy in a cool truck, it was green almost lime green with these deep dish chrome rims you had to stop!! And he was hard to stop! Oh man ! Yeah
And don't forget out runners, with the 8 different cars u could choose. My favorite being that wicked 59 Pink Cadillac!
This legendary game is now 35 years old!
Happy 35th anniversary to one of the greatest driving games of all time! 🚘 🏝
Super scaler games are so freakin real, like the practical movie FX from the same time
@@worsethanhitlerpt.2539 i was about to mention the same, SEGA breaked the gaming paradigm with that. To this day, their superscaling method is still their trademark and the technology remains a secret.
That's just like a game must be- nowadays too much reality!
Just like me
@@Georgi_Slavovyep. Not even Forza Horizon 5 and GT7 can match the amazingness of this 37 year old game.
This remains one of my favorite arcade games of all time. It had cutting edge gameplay and graphics for its time as well as having variable routes, variable game endings and three of the best sound tracks ever! Highly addictive!
Yep. OutRun's graphics even still miles above even GT7. For a 37 year old game this is absolute legend!
懐かしすぎる。高校時代ゲーセンでよくやってた。

This game is even far ahead of GT7.😢

真美好的回憶，時光回到1987年，那年19歲的我常會到台中龍心百貨10樓遊藝場玩這遊戲，喜歡賽車的刺激加上非常輕快的音樂，着時令人著迷
Always used to love a crowd watching me. I was 10 years old and played this everyday at the arcade. I finished the whole game aged 10, turned around and there was nobody watching me. Devastated is an understatement!
All that matters is you know. 😊
@´°` No one at all!
The sense of achievement I had in 93 after finishing it at an arcade and the relaxing music I heard while typing in my name. Such a good memory.
Yes i remember finishing it at an arcade in 1989, only one other person saw me complete it so there wasn't too much pressure! Will never forget the moment :)
This game ate all my quarters back in the 80s. It still one of my all time favorite arcade games. Loved Magical Sound Shower first then Passing Breeze second.
Can confirm, this looked stunning in the 80s

Some of the finest sprite scaling in arcade gaming history!
This is one of my all time favorites. I've got a stand up MAME driving cabinet that I built from a very worn out Final Lap cabinet, and I love to play Outrun on it from time to time. All the curves is not the same, there are some smaller rapid twisty turns in the dessert course for example, and some curves are longer. One thing that is a bit strange is that when you get wheel squirrel in the turns, the speed is not decreased ( as long as your wheels is kept on the road of course).
I think both upright version and sit-down versions had deluxe versions, at least 4 different cabinets. There was an upright cabinet that was very small too. The deluxe version doesn't have real "Force Feedback", but they have shaking in the steering wheel when the wheels comes outside the road, and they have "movement" of the steering wheel when you crash (the steering wheel is mounted on a moving shelf within the cabinet). The game uses a normal 270 degree steering wheel with mechanical center spring I think.
The Commodore 64 version was made by an 18 year old boy, his father made the graphics. The Commodore 64 version is maybe the most playable of the early ports, with real sense of speed on the costs of simpler graphics, if you compare to the other early ports. The C64 PAL version has dark hair on the girl and the registration sign is mirrored in turns, this and other imperfections was corrected in the later NTSC port that was made by the same programmer.
I loved this game, when i finished it, i found it funny that the car broke down, then i found out that there were 5 endings.
Every pixel and sound is a shot of nostalgia straight from my childhood. Great upload. Thanks.
Agree same goes to me.
Just had the realisation that Outrun is 30 years old this year! Still love the game - it's a joyful work of art.
I've been on an Outrun 2006 binge lately so I ended up here. Man I forgot just how fast the original moves. It's kind of unbelievable how crazy high end Sega's arcade technology actually was from the mid 80's to the mid 90's.
Thanks for posting, couldn't remember name of this game for anything except "run" lol, but it's only reason I went to mall back in the day to play it 🤘🤘
I really enjoyed watching this, brings back memories of fun times at the arcade.
Nice flashback to the 80's. There was an arcade in Plano Tx where I lost a lot of quarters and tokens to this game and to Galaga; till i mastered them both....ahhh the good ole days
I played this on the moving car version in Brighton, England back in the 80's when I was about 13 years old. I remember the pressure of trying to get through at least the first stage while groups of lads in the arcade used to gather around to watch. My hands get sweaty just thinking about it. The sound track to this game brings it flooding back. Good old days! :)
The music made the experience that much better. There was really nothing like it. Such a great game
懐かしいなぁ。
旅館のゲーセンでよくやったわぁ。
懐かしいぜ!
砂辺スポランではまったよ。
Such nostalgia! I love this game. And you're an great player!!!
Sega was the grandmasters of racing games back in the late 1980's & early 90's & the music just goes on in our heads right?
This is a driving game, not a racing game.
@@Hellwyck The original SEGA arcade flyer from 1986 is High Action Road Racing Adventure :)
Chase HQ was my other favourite driving game with outrun
@@Naughtybaz Arcade original I hope because home versions sucks.
@@kzbxvz
Definitely arcade version, was far superior
not even the Amiga or master system could come close in those days. 👍
Al you're a master player! Thanks for showing us what driving is about, in Outrun at least. Great vibes and positive emotions thanks to you. Thanks a lot.
dude you are an awesome driver! i would have crashed many times.lol. thank you for posting this. brings back so many great memories of the arcades.
Thanks for sharing this vintage 80's arcade racer and especially at the full frame rate, it really does benefit, regardless of the decade.
Magical Sound Shower!
Amazing memories of going to the arcade as a kid and jumping from game to game. Or even better finding out they added a new machine and playing it for the first time.
Great! I was never able to watch beyond the second check point, hahaha! So, thanks for allowing us watch the whole track!!
One of my favourite games of all time - although I was never very good at it! So many memories.
I recall the (generally dire!) home system conversions.
I was 19 stationed in Hawaii when I became addicted to this game. I played the stand up version until I was a master at it. My other fav at this time was double dragon.
Magical Sound Shower!!
Wow, I never knew there were 5 different ending! Amazing attention to detail from the Developers. Great Longplay 🙌
6:10 that lowfi, remember city pop, japan, 80s, beauty, nostalgic stuff.
Before FORZA Motorsports, Gran Turismo...before Crusin The Word, there was Sega Outrun. I threw a LOT of quarters at this game when I was young.
One of My all time favorite Arcade Games this game would have blew my Mind if I was alive to see it in 1986 I own an Arcade Perfect version on the Sega Saturn that has a 60 FPS mode and original/arranged music
That was my game and that was my favorite tune from the options. Thank you for bringing memories back.
The street racing version of pole position
This gotta be one of the confiest games ever made. Just a guy and his girlfriend riding a ferrari through beautiful scenery.
Until they crash and end up in a wheelchair.
And you probably can't get through the second stage without wrecking😂
this game was hard AF
@@marcraiderlucky i beaten it with one go.
@@TheIrland09and also on fire.
Passing breeze has to be one of those iconic theme tunes from the 80s arcade… go to any arcade at a seaside town and you’d hear it 😊
Nice to finally see scenes past first check points.
lol for me too
Holy cow this sent me way back. I'm almost positive this is the game I played on the arcade cabinet at my dentists office as a kid.
Brings back memories of 1988. Childhood memories indeed!😁
I love all these comments. Its so wonderful how a game can bring everyone together to reminisce and be instilled with joy.. i hope all you guys are continuing living with that joy!!! I remember this game back in 1994 on the sega when i was only 3 years old, and i thought it looked so cool lol
Thanks for the upload! I'm 42 and this was my favourite arcade game as a kid! I used to play it in burntisland, fife
My Gosh!!!!!, i couldnt believe i can see this game again today after 30yrs.

This game shows my age.
But watching this I remember every route, and just about every corner. Which can only mean I don't yet have dementia 😂
I loved this I was king of outrun and chase HQ
I miss the 80s and the arcade cult.
We had it best then especially movies and music.
Love the video 👍
Brings only happiness to me
"If I have have one issue with the game then it's the inconsistency in how the car handles when taking corners."
Yes, 'cos the game can only display one type of road curving. Reminds me of the old C64 game 'Pit Stop' - pimped up to the extreme.
Never the less, I agree that at the time it really was the best of it's kind - I've had the fortune to play the force feedback version as well.
That certainly brought back some good memories.. 👍😁 Absolutely awesome driving .. 👏👏😎
funny thing is how the Ferrari logo is mirrored under left turns.
Spent two hours playing this in Yakuza 0, didn’t even notice how long I had been playing it, these games were addicting.
Same, I really wanted to get good and score at least 5 mil. At some point, time kinda just flew by
wow, the graphics (especially the perspective) look amazing for 1986!!! I love the "almost-3D" vibe to it
That's Mode7 for ya.
the comedy on the GOAL scenes are brilliant touches
Thanks for posting all the tracks, this game really takes me back.
30 years later and I can still hum the songs along.
Love this game, love the soundtrack
Thank you so much for giving me a chance to listen to my favorite radio station of all time and like to have it for extended remix and you're not only the best player but that in the days 40 years ago it took me at least 20 bucks of quarters of course thank you so much
My favorite game at the time . I always loved when you turn right or left and the car act like it’s real ! Wish I could have it in my house for good.
This was my game and Haley's Comet the good ole days..
Space Harrier lol
Never knew they had different end animations after passing the finish line for each route!
I just came to the end once. Palm sweaty. Mums spaghetti...
So many quarters I wasted on this game at our local roller rink. It was in all the nearby arcades but for some reason I loved playing the cabinet at the roller rink. Good ol days!!
How much I’ve played and enjoyed this legendary game. Nostalgic to see it again
Enjoyed every second watching this.....fantastic music.
I love this game when I was just a little child..and especially the outrun main theme music
Thx AL for the gameplay and the game. I played this game since it was out. And I never got to play it again because of too busy. I succeeded to win some stages but unsuccessfully. Somehow I'll keep watching your vids and be good at it hopefully.
Such nostalgia. I played this game in my Nokia phone 8 years ago. Such a memories.
I played it standing up in a dark arcade, on a big console, like 35 years ago, and it cost me a quarter. Lol!
I have more than 20 years without play arcade / coins games.

At that time, this graphic was just WOW!!! Cool, like real!
The version of the game I played as a teen at my local arcade was actually a ¼ scale car (just like in the game) that you got inside and drove! The car was stationary with a HUGE screen in front of it. I fed countless tokens to that machine.
There were many versions of it from stand up cabinets, the one you played, a cockpit similar to some of the Afterburner cabinets and the deluxe hydraulic car that actually moved as you turn.
The Arcade Machine formerly stood with us in a pub. It was the stand-up type. Long ago. Very cool artwork for the 1986th
Perfect example of a game that doesn't have to be super complicated but just gets u hooked with the incredible gameplay.
Yep. And also no DLC only package and Ultimate Team pack openings.
I used to stare at the demo play all the time! So satisfying.
One of my favourite arcade games.This was such fun to play.
I played the HELL out of this at Rocky's Hot Dogs near Clifton NJ in the 80s/90s alot
Hey, I'm the owner!
Best arcade game ever. Especially when you wrecked it was so loud.
So many memories.... Chilling with my buds waiting for my turn on this awesome game... can still smell the fish and chips cooking where the arcade game was!
Fair to say that you are significantly better at this than what 9 year old me was playing the arcade at Rockley Park, Poole back in the summer of 87. I did quickly figure out that I was in the sh1t for the next stage if I only completed the previous one with a couple of seconds left, lol.
Primero decirte que eres un maquinón jugando al Out Run, y segundo decir que me gustó mucho ver todos los finales, no sabía ni que existía eso porque nunca pasé del tercer nivel 🤣 y que mi favorito fue el C. Evidentemente todos los que hemos visto o comentado este vídeo hemos jugado en la infancia horas y horas a él. Un saludo!!!

Still remember playing this back in 90/91 on my Amstrad, first the one race only demo that came on the with the magazine and then the full game itself
Damn dude you are fast ! Great game and great driving :)
WOW, i just noticed after all these years that they mirrored the car graphics when turning right, so the horse flips opposite.
The feeling of speed you got from the arcade was amazing. The computer versions were so pants
Coast to Coast is Epic on Xbox, I would say as good, not better as good tho !!!
All the time and quarters i put into this game to learn to play it and when I finally mastered it walking into the arcade and everyone going that's him the Outrun guy and having a crowd of people watching you play is pretty cool. Now every time I go by an arcade I look to see if they have Outrun just to see if what kind of shape it's in haven't seen one in a long time had another favorite Tron !!!
Aaah the good old days!!!! The feeling will never come back!!!
At least I can now read the signs @1:13
Those names exist ?
Man, I would have been the king of the local burger joint if I had played like this in the 80's.
Splash wave plays:
audience: YEEEAAHHHH!
In the arcade when this first came out I remember everyone used to crowd around the moving car. This and afterburner. Amazing times. Long live Skegness and the arcades.
Played this loads in skegvegas
1986 and 87 mainly
I love the 16 pixel prancing horse logo, and how it changes direction depending on which way the car is pointing
Those were the days!!!
I used to love playing this at the arcade!

Thank you so much for these late 80's, early 90's memories. Unlimited hours of gaming..
For the '80s, this arcade is pretty good. I feels like the precursor to Crusin' USA, because the red Ferrari is also used in that game.
The quality of the music deep bass on these machines were awesome, the memories!
Happy old days ,was one of the best players of the game. This video made my day❤️❤️
Imagine all the dirt debris and bugs that would have gone flying into both faces during the drive 😂💯
so much money spent on this , i remembered it as the best looking racing game ever lol
Love this! I was very young when this came out I vaguely remember it in the arcade. I've still got the st version and cassette with arcade audio. Who remembers starion??
