Sega OutRun (arcade) completed on MAME. Ran up the gut for completion and funny ending. Check out my Splash Wave run in full HD! • OutRun in HD - Sega Ar...
+The Frazzle For me it was Pole Position, then Hang On, then this - but Outrun was so next level it was insane - those graphics man, and the moving cockpit of the sitdown Deluxe... for 1986, everyone was quite rightly blown away :)
it's funny, i didn't even like this game that much (okay i liked it a lot, it just wasn't my favorite), but i literally couldn't drive the first time i played the 2003 remake of this game on the original xbox because the tears wouldn't let me. never felt that way about a game before and since. pretty sure this game is at fault for my love of cars to this day.
I love Outrun. I still have it in many formats including on the PS3... before Sony pulled it due to the expiration of a licensing contract with Ferrari. Anyone remember the ZX Spectrum version? To have the in-game music, you had to play a separate cassette on your hi-fi lol. The arcade version will always be a classic to me.

I remember the first time I saw an Outrun machin in an arcade. Me and me brother were awestruck with the graphics, music and the sheer presence of it. Looking back at it now, it still holds its weight. Cutting edge game and tue nostalgia. Nice video :o)
Can't believe how far ahead of the pack Sega was in the arcade market back then. You couldn't get these kind of graphics, sounds, and gameplay ported to a home system until the 32X add-on came out for the Genesis 8 years LATER!!! Classic game from a classic era of video gaming...
I am so happy we had an old computer with games like this when I was a kid. Born in 1996 and started playing 1999 and got playstation in as late as 2007. I spent age 3-11 with Windows 3.0 :D Played all these old classics for most of my childhood. Non of my friends have experienced this, I feel I can somehow relate to people born in 80's when it comes to games.
Wow!!! Takes me back to my youth!! One of the first arcade games I learned to finish completely! When I was down to my last quarter in the local arcade game room I knew I could play OutRun and go home a winner! LOL!!
Great footage of this classic arcade game, I remember as a kid finding this in an arcade the first summer this game came out, sitting in the big hydraulic version was epic. I couldn't get past stage 3 but kept trying anyways as I luved the music too.
I know what you mean, this was the first and only game I have seen where literally, you feel like you can be driving too fast, and the scenery comes up so quick its starts to freak you out like you could crash.
Very keenly, this was the racing game that I loved the best at 15 years old. At that point, I already used to love Pole Position, Odyssey 2's "Speedway!", and Sega's Turbo, but that race arcade game called "Out-Run!" - I loved it. Very dearly so! The way I had to understand the game was this - you are in a red race car with a male driver with your female companion passenger--likely a modified Corvette. You are going from the East Coast all the way to the West Coast and you have to deal with 5 racing stages that throws almost every obstacle at you. There is a tinge of the "Spy Hunter" game where if you hit any passing trucks, vans, or other vehicles, say goodbye to your perfect lap time in minutes and hundredths of seconds (for example, "59"23"). And the turns will throw you for a curve, even if you are warned with those big red arrows on the types of turns you will be facing. The S-curve and hairpin turns were really tough and if you did not negotiate those turns, you slow down greatly. I did negotiate those turns about 69 percent of the time. Maximum top speed was 293 kilometers per hour, and since the maker, Sega, was Japanese, that is how they do it (no English system), so I had to figure out that this was about 170-180 mph at maximum speed. I liked the transitions of racing stages--in the pictures of towns, countries, cities. In a few of the stages, they even throw obstacles like dust and sand at the final stage, and even stone monuments. After you complete all 5 stages of racing, the computer determines the passing bonus and you finally get a chance to relax after all of that racing.
I remembered being deeply impressed by this as a kid. The thing which stood out the most was the then lightning fast graphics. Nothing similar had been seen before back in 1986. The music still sounds as good today as it did back then.
Best 80's racing game , i use to be the top score at my local arcade place . This game was the first game with steering force feedback , choice of radio stations and the choice to pick different routes .
I remember playing this game a few times at a pizza parlor some 13 years ago. I love the music in it too. It definitely captures that 80s electropop sound.
Great! Remember I went on a trip to the States, and on a certain night, everyone had left to go Planet Hollywood in Orland, except me, i stayed in the Hotel playing OutRun!!!! Lol!! Later on the same trip I did the same on a Daytona Usa machine that nedded 4 quarters for a play. What a good way to spent my dollars!! SEGA!
Yup. And note the heads are extra sprites, which is why they don't swap. In fact, you can see them move in relation to the car, as they are not attached.
The trick to clocking this game was to actually take your foot off the gas once in a while until a way through the traffic would open up. I remember seeing so many people in the arcade just put their foot to the floor the whole way and drift into other cars on the tight corners or smack into rocks
This was probably the first arcade game I ever played. Definitely the first I remember. Wish I had the arcade version instead of the 3D-ized version on Sega Classics Collection for PS2....
Reminds me of when we got a high score we used to put fuk, fuq, cok, ass, pot, sex, etc. etc. Seems silly 30 years later but at the time I thought it was pretty cool.
This game was awesome I remember when it first came out I would go to the arcade and spend all my money on it and the grapics for the time was unreal THIS GAME ROCKS!!!!!
WOW, this takes me back, could never clock it but still Great Game, wish i was back in the eightes, might go out and buy a tesstorossa now ive seen this.
Outrun was an ...outrage! This was the 1st video game I played where it just ended! Every other game, we played until we died 3 times - so we could play as long as we stayed alive. I remember being angry that the computer just decided to end it and take my quarter. The reward for doing well on other video games was that you kept playing; the reward for this one (if you did well) was that you lost your quarter. Wait, I'm still mad!
I can afford to spout off because we held an Outrun contest in the arcade where I worked many years ago. Its all about knowing the turns and timing those turns.
The bowling alley near where I went to law school had one of these. My friend and I used to play hooky from class, go bowling and play this game all the time. Man, I was young then.....
OutRun was thet very first game I ever played that cost $1. A Putt Putt got the cockpit version of this in early 1987, and I remember there was a LONG line waiting to play it.
I've finished with 40 second left in the early 90's at an arcade gallery, in less than 5 minutes. Anyway I had no way of'"documenting" it, but I think that's kind of a super hi-score!!!
When I was a teenager back in the mid-80's,going to the arcade was a great wonderful experience.Certain games just were awesome and made me feel great.I loved playing OUTRUN even though I could never complete it :) THE MUSIC is what got me 1:Magical Sound Shower (played here) was my fav 2. Passing Breeze - Awesome too 3. Splash Wave - was cool too. After many MANY years of searching I was able to find the Soundtrack. If you like I can post the HQ music. There are extras on the ST too :)
Remember having a running battle with STU for two weeks in Tenerife 1987. Every time I turned up to play he had beat my score (I was BRI). I beat his score with only a few days holiday remaining and he (or anyone else), never beat my final score. I think he probably flew home but as far as I was concerned I was the champion. Oh yeah, and the soundtrack is the one I used to play.
Greatest driving game OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!! This arcade game took more of my student grant than 4 years of alcohol abuse ... How many of you broke the magical 5 minute barrier? My best time 4.58.4 ..... Still one of my greatest achievement ever...... and i'm 42.
Omg, I played this when I was about 5 years old. I'm 22 now, can't remember what those are called but I played this on pc along with other games that seems like arcade games

Something about these sega, 80's, arcade graphics that takes me back to being a child. Sega fan till the day I die
yeh.. something... perhaps the fact you were a child...
+numerz or ED Gar was a teenager
Everyone's first racing game!
+The Frazzle For me it was Pole Position, then Hang On, then this - but Outrun was so next level it was insane - those graphics man, and the moving cockpit of the sitdown Deluxe... for 1986, everyone was quite rightly blown away :)
+The Frazzle For me, I think it was Final Lap.
+The Frazzle after Top Gear
yeah
Mine was either Gran Trak 10 or Sprint 2. Black and white prehistoric era lol.
That music! It hits me right in the feels!
SirCraigius so much feels here too.
+SirCraigius I also have feels :)
Man this is the tune I was always choosing, and I never forgot it! After 30 years it still sounds awesome!
OutRun -My Favorite Arcade Game
I have tears in my eyes
it's funny, i didn't even like this game that much (okay i liked it a lot, it just wasn't my favorite), but i literally couldn't drive the first time i played the 2003 remake of this game on the original xbox because the tears wouldn't let me. never felt that way about a game before and since. pretty sure this game is at fault for my love of cars to this day.
gotta love how the rear badge is flipping like crazy

I remember playing this game 20+ years ago. I could never beat this game as a four year old kid.
Well, it's certainly not the best ending for the girl :-)
+OMA2k What do you mean?
Why would his sister be jealous of him?
+Arfan Maulana yeah and she is a well known lesbian so everybody winssss!!!
First time i ever saw this game was during spring break in Florida, Totally blew my mind.
GREAT GAME
No offense here but I assume you didn't grow up in the 80's?
+Lafayette Cathey mowowie might’ve been born in either 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989 if that is the case he grew-up in the 1980’s
When I first saw this in the arcades I was blown away. The graphics were great and looking at it again after all these years it holds up ok.
Too awesome.. Memories flowing back lol
OMG The amount of times I played this when I was 14. I reckon I kept Sega afloat in the 80s
omg, I was in love with the music of this game... 19 year passed and Im back to find these sountracks...
One of the most epic games of all time... What a throwback!!
I remember the first time I saw an Outrun machin in an arcade. Me and me brother were awestruck with the graphics, music and the sheer presence of it. Looking back at it now, it still holds its weight. Cutting edge game and tue nostalgia. Nice video :o)
Even if it was produced in 1986 it's still very fun to play this Classic racer in 2010 and forever maybe. SEGA's golden Arcade era.
I played it at an arcade yesterday and I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what I was doing wrong. Still a very fun game.
@@ClayAlchemist It's a very fun racing game when you are in the real 1980's mode.
i can't believe it's been 23 YEARS since i first saw outrun in arcades !!!
Memories, I remember playing this in the arcade. Loved the music and scenery of this game, great stuff!
Aahhh arcading in the 80s and this seminal racer! Classic SEGA! Nuff said!
Can't believe how far ahead of the pack Sega was in the arcade market back then. You couldn't get these kind of graphics, sounds, and gameplay ported to a home system until the 32X add-on came out for the Genesis 8 years LATER!!! Classic game from a classic era of video gaming...
I still rememberbthe song:) Great game from a great age..
I am so happy we had an old computer with games like this when I was a kid. Born in 1996 and started playing 1999 and got playstation in as late as 2007.

Love the music when we register our names. Such a nostalgia.
Man... this brings back so many memories for me!! I stayed in the neighborhood arcade playing this as a kid!
This game brings back childhood memories. Timeless classic.
Thanks for playing the best music! :D
Also, on the Ferrari badge flip comment...damn, I've played this game 8 ways to Sunday and never noticed that!!
Absolutely loveeee this damn game...Played the hell out of it as a kid and always beat it!
Great footage of this classic arcade game, I remember as a kid finding this in an arcade the first summer this game came out, sitting in the big hydraulic version was epic. I couldn't get past stage 3 but kept trying anyways as I luved the music too.
dude hasnt made a video in 7 years... legend
that scorescreen is AMAZING
Tuve la suerte de jugarlo en la época... 1986...y aun tengo la suerte de poder seguir disfrutando de éste juegazo💓
Superb driving! That last sector was sick. 👍🏾
Keeping this original music on the XboX360 version is one of the greatest EPIC WIN of Sega's history!
I know what you mean, this was the first and only game I have seen where literally, you feel like you can be driving too fast, and the scenery comes up so quick its starts to freak you out like you could crash.
this is so much nostalgic!! you cant imagine. i wasnt even 5 when i was playing this game 16 years ago.
Takes me right back, was one of my favourite games
Thumbs up if memories of a badass arcade unit in the late 89s with the moving cabinet and kids crowding the thing sent you here.
Love that song, one of greatest video games songs out there.
OMG pure nostalgic :)

Dude you rock, I never finished it, not on the arcade game and not on Mame disc :-)
I did after buying one for myself

The skies. I'd forgotten that they changed like that - awesome stuff.
I used to play this in my childhood life! Thanks for sharing.

Later on the same trip I did the same on a Daytona Usa machine that nedded 4 quarters for a play. What a good way to spent my dollars!! SEGA!
spent so much money on this game,and i do it all over again
magical sound shower, good choice
I remember playing this on my old Atari ST in the 90's. So awesome :)
Yup. And note the heads are extra sprites, which is why they don't swap. In fact, you can see them move in relation to the car, as they are not attached.

this game never gets old
i used and still love this game brings bk memories
This was my favourite game when I was a kid. Brings back all the memories... *sigh*
Oh my god.. The visualization is beautiful
This was probably the first arcade game I ever played. Definitely the first I remember.
Wish I had the arcade version instead of the 3D-ized version on Sega Classics Collection for PS2....
Reminds me of when we got a high score we used to put fuk, fuq, cok, ass, pot, sex, etc. etc. Seems silly 30 years later but at the time I thought it was pretty cool.
this game still looks cool now. It was well ahead of its time.
I have Magical Sound Shower as a .mid format. I could upload it for anyone who wants the tune as a ringtone.
This game was awesome I remember when it first came out I would go to the arcade and spend all my money on it and the grapics for the time was unreal THIS GAME ROCKS!!!!!
epic game
Every one's childhood's memories (I supposse) so...nice runthrough!!!
WOW, this takes me back, could never clock it but still Great Game, wish i was back in the eightes, might go out and buy a tesstorossa now ive seen this.
flawless player, regards.
Unforgettable soundtrack.
This game has the best soundtrack out of any game I have played
i agree pal i will never forgot them tunes even though its 20 years old

tony it’s okay, you can play video games for free, for as long as you like too.
Hmmmm.........
You start from Miami beach and finish to....Morocco !
this was the first racing game I've ever played, it blew my mind!
Wow this could give f-zero gx a run for it's money when it comes to feeling speed!
Looks amazing :D
The year is 2013, and I still can't beat this game
yeah
Watching this I was trying to remember how bad the controls were....
2020!
Old classics have a charm that no 3d powerhouse machine can top.
I remember playing this game when i was like 7 years old in 1994 for 25 cents at a laundromat in the bronx damm so many memories
Now this was my game back in the day...I was unbeatable.
Indeed, could beat all levels with no problems.
I can afford to spout off because we held an Outrun contest in the arcade where I worked many years ago. Its all about knowing the turns and timing those turns.
If i had the game I would.. and i'm to lazy to go find a rom for 20 year old game.
I have no idea what "am2/am3" means. and besides. playing with a keyboard is nothing like playing the sit-down unit.
saturn0660 They had a sit down unit?? I've only played the stand up one's
The bowling alley near where I went to law school had one of these. My friend and I used to play hooky from class, go bowling and play this game all the time. Man, I was young then.....
That rocks!
Takes me back when I went to the luna park trying to win it all over again. The sitting model rocked. :-)
OutRun was thet very first game I ever played that cost $1.
A Putt Putt got the cockpit version of this in early 1987, and I remember there was a LONG line waiting to play it.
BEST OF THE BEST SOUND TRACK!!
I finally beat this game today, it was on super easy, but it still feels amazing.
I've finished with 40 second left in the early 90's at an arcade gallery, in less than 5 minutes. Anyway I had no way of'"documenting" it, but I think that's kind of a super hi-score!!!
The soundtrack is amazing.
i used to play this game when i was a kid, what a good memories. good times.
Love this game a lot!
i always played this tune whenever i'd play outrun! always got me to the end somehow!
@Ness0007 dude that was it! thanx very much. its so cool to see that again
Outrun and Enduro racer = No school.
my childhood...amazing memories
When I was a teenager back in the mid-80's,going to the arcade was a great wonderful experience.Certain games just were awesome and made me feel great.I loved playing OUTRUN even though I could never complete it :)
THE MUSIC is what got me
1:Magical Sound Shower (played here) was my fav
2. Passing Breeze - Awesome too
3. Splash Wave - was cool too.
After many MANY years of searching I was able to find the Soundtrack.
If you like I can post the HQ music.
There are extras on the ST too :)
Hell, I remember playing this game on arcade machine when I was small...
Remember having a running battle with STU for two weeks in Tenerife 1987. Every time I turned up to play he had beat my score (I was BRI). I beat his score with only a few days holiday remaining and he (or anyone else), never beat my final score. I think he probably flew home but as far as I was concerned I was the champion.
Oh yeah, and the soundtrack is the one I used to play.
Very good game and very good music.
One of the best songs yes.....love it.
Greatest driving game OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!
This arcade game took more of my student grant than 4 years of alcohol abuse ...
How many of you broke the magical 5 minute barrier?
My best time 4.58.4 ..... Still one of my greatest achievement ever...... and i'm 42.
I work out to this soundtrack...... and im JACKED!!!!
Such a fun game although very mean and frustrating - one crash and your race was practically ruined.
Omg, I played this when I was about 5 years old. I'm 22 now, can't remember what those are called but I played this on pc along with other games that seems like arcade games
