1988

The initial arcade port published by Sega in 1988 in the U.S. The European release, published by U.S. Gold, followed in early 1989. The most obvious difference between the two versions concerns the copyright dates on the loading screen (i.e. © 1987 vs © 1988 - see screenshots). Other differences include the latter version exhibiting a moving starfield on the loading screen, a demo more like the coin-op, and a slower game timer.

OutRun is a racing game that allows the player to race across varied terrain in a readily available Ferrari, complete with a female passenger, over a series of short tracks. Gameplay is viewed from just above and behind the car. The roads are full of sharp bends and hazards, contact with which can cause the car to roll and lose the player's time. On each section of track there is a fork in the road, allowing the player to choose which direction he or she wishes to go in. The player has to to complete five track sections in total, out of the fifteen in the game.
