Mega Drive Longplay [151] Outrun

[@lisamgreenleaf]

This seriously fires my seratonin. I feel calm and happy remembering this. Did anyone else actually want to live in that sunny game and be under those Palm trees at the very end? Sigh

[@bifftannen2062]

Yes and I wish I could stay in 1988 before cell phones, social media, and wokeness. lol

My kind of girl 😘

[@smiley77777]

Yes! I was telling my gf like damn I remember playing the hell out of this game! But damn I’m spoiled and game jump a lot without completing the games. When I was kid I would just play and play and play till I best the game. I loved this game a lot

[@RichPT]

Just the first palm-lined highway looked good enough to me

[@rayshawnjones9476]

I wished it alot

[@leeludlowart237]

Outrun has to have the best music of any game ever and in arcades as a kid this is all I heard. I love outrun and the mega drive version isn’t that far off the arcade one. It’s really just the sounds.

[@lovemadeinjapan]

Yeah, lets just listen to the DEXED remake of the OST by Woody Piano Shack, and play Super Sprint in the arcade, a way more fun game. I mean, Outrun was pretty boring to play. Regarding the best music. Super Sprint is very nice as well, and the sound chip Atari used sounds way better than FM.

[@glenolave]

THE ROCK!

[@retrokrazygaming1825]

Passing Breeze, man that was a classic tune! This is one of my first memories of the Mega Drive, this awesome game and the Passing Breeze soundtrack! What great memories! :)

[@McAllen07]

RetroKrazy A Would you believe "Passing Breeze" was used in a driver's ed video back in the early 90s, including the arcade game itself? (It showed someone trying to play it with their vision obstructed, the point being what can happen if driving a real car under those conditions).

[@TheBroDotTV]

That was the best tune!!!

[@parallaxcraze958]

The best home port of its time. The music is fantastic, clear and warm, and most of the visual content from the arcade is here thanks to the 8 meg cartridge. What a game! Always a blast to play :)

[@daminmancejin]

Night Driver yea I know I still play this on my genesis now days we don't get games like this anymore

[@jasonlee7816]

+Night Driver graphically (visually) the PC Engine/Turbo-Grafx Out Run was the best looking port (version) of its era

[@parallaxcraze958]

+Jason Lee lol, no. The PC Engine port has tons of visual issues/downgrades including some which are due to limitations of the hardware: - lower resolution than arcade/Mega Drive. - not fullscreen with added black bars at the top/bottom of the screen. - less variety of others cars than arcade/Mega Drive (there's no truck, no Volkswagen Bettle...). - no parallax anymore. - and maybe the worst aspect: several stages lack the visual element(s) which initially defined their visual identity such as lack of beach at Coconut Beach, lack of clouds at Cloudy Moutains, etc. Overall the PC Engine port is okay but the Mega Drive one offers a better and more complete experience.

[@jasonlee7816]

+Night Driver for an 8 megabit game the Sega Genesis/Mega-Drive Out Run seemed a bit rushed when the developer finished it i would've used either 9, 10, 11, 12 megabits

[@parallaxcraze958]

+Jason Lee Not sure about a bigger cart but, yep, while it's a good port it could have been slightly better. As i said the music sound fantastic (and blow away the quite poor PC Engine renditions) but a better usage of the audio capabilities could have brought back the engine noise (whereas the PC Engine port lacks all the digit voices). Then visually the towers at Seaside Town are lacking (but at least the sea on the roadside is here) and the goal banner at the end looks like a joke. But other than these few flaws Mega Drive's OutRun is great and even has some exclusive content/touches which make it even more interesting.

[@FranciscoFJM]

As far as im aware Outrun is not a multiplayer game...

[@charlieanddadreviewsandcha2243]

@@FranciscoFJM it’s not. But the graphics and the overall feel of motion and the landscape breezing by. Also the music.

[@FranciscoFJM]

@@charlieanddadreviewsandcha2243 Still, comparing a raster effect game with a mode 7 one seems completely out of place

[@RichPT]

I'd like to see someone do a version for the Snes. Just to see what it's like

[@inceptional]

Lol Super Mario Kart is leagues beyond this port. F-Zero also pisses on it from a great height. Both those games run at 60fps, while Outrun on Genesis is only 20fps, by the way. But Outrun on Genesis is still decent for what it is.

[@EOTA564]

The Saturn conversion was indeed awesome and handled brilliantly.

[@jasonlee7816]

z00ts00t77 what is awesome/brillant about the Sega Saturn Out Run??? is it because it looked, played, sounded like the 1986 arcade original game version?

[@FranciscoFJM]

Nope, take the Saturn version as a "remaster" of the game, because it runs at full 60 FPS, and its awesome.

[@jasonlee7816]

***** you wouldn't classify Sega Saturn Out Run as a conversion because it ran (runs) at 60 FPS frames a second

[@FranciscoFJM]

Its remade from scratch to take advantage of the Saturn´s power, so i like to call it a remaster.

[@dave101t]

im playing this on an emulator on my mac and no matter which difficulty setting i use, time runs out just after choosing the fork despite top speed all the way and no collisions. maybe a bad rom?
