The history of Outrun - arcade documentary

[@H3WMW]

This was my favourite arcade game back in 1987 when I first went to Blackpool on holiday. I couldn’t get enough of it and will always have a special place in my heart. I love Outrun. ❤️

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

You and me both my friend

[@battlevain]

Outrun, like Doube Dragon, Golden Axe and a few others was another arcade classic that helps to lauch home entertainment systems. Sega Master Systems was powered by this game. Mind blowing at the time.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Yes for an eight bit conversion it wasn't too bad

[@moagnor]

This game was where I learned to slam the gear into first gear to brake when you started to drift in the bends... Still drive my Ferrari like this now.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

That's awesome, I learned to drive on this game as well

[@kinginblack3321]

[@icetraydemartini3963]

One of the greatest games ever. It still holds up.

[@VladR1024]

I only played a stand-up cabinet version, must have been quite an experience with the full cabinet. Thanks for the video. I learnt a lot from this vid - especially the history bit at the beginning. I appreciate what you're doing here. Respect!

[@midnightkitty8172]

I was lucky to have played the sit down moving version. It's a lot of fun.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

I know I played the sit down version of power drift but not sure about outrun.

[@generalkickass6385]

Memories memories I had outrun as well for the Sega console not sega genius

[@titanjake8640]

The days of the great Arcade.

[@MAgrippa76]

Sit down version in 4 quarters bar.. Stratford, London

[@TexasHollowEarth]

Galaxy Force 2's moving cab was incredible. Too bad it was prone to mechanical failures. I only got to play it once or twice @ my local arcade, as it was nearly always broke-down.

[@snethss]

I used to play outrun on C64. Turbo outrun had a pretty silky frame rate with amazing SID tunes. It still took forever to load.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Turbo outrun on the Commodore was very good

[@sohchx]

As a kid when this came out I had always said that I would own an Outrun machine. Fast forward to 1998 I finally had the chance to buy one for $150 from a nice lady who's kids had grown up and moved out years prior, so no one used it anymore. Replaced the flyback, rebuilt the monitor chassis and it's been rock solid since. This game was always a holy grail for me and I'm glad to have it in my arcade collection. We joke that when I die I'll probably be buried in it, or with it Lol.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Wow, that's a heck of a deal. I would love to own an original

[@Ashura96]

Great video. I've been playing OutRun since the age of 5, starting with the Genesis port in 1993. My love for the game and franchise grew over the years and it's become my favorite game of all time.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thank you, the Genesis version was really good And we had some good follow-up games in the series as well

[@Ashura96]

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries I really liked OutRun 2019 as well. People always like to debate if it is really an OutRun game or not. I've always felt that it is. Best support for that is the fact the same developers ported the Genesis version and built it off the same game code.

[@7272nighthawk]

my first time ever playing this game was six flags Missouri they had the full moving sit down unit !!! Mind blown !!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

I never saw a full moving outrun but I did get to play a full-size power drift and it was fantastic

[@sweetsfiend209]

I was blown away the first time I saw this in an arcade; the graphics, music, and speed worked together to provide an unforgettable experience. No other driving game has had quite the same effect on me since.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

This one pretty much had it all and I agree with everything you said

[@Cw802]

Thank you so much, all of these games means so much to me that I'm glad I get to talk about and share them with you

[@djstephennicholls]

The standard sitdown cabinate (flat back chair)you say did not move actually did move the difference between that and the other sitdown is the chair which featured built in speakers.

[@reagandow850]

Cannonball Run could possibly be one of the best movies ever! I can watch it over and over again. Burt R and Dom D are two of the funniest guys alive and Farrah Fawcett.....SHWIIIIING!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Absolutely, I even had that one Farrah Fawcett poster on my wall :-)

[@maesejesus]

The greatest part of the GBA compilation is that they work at 60 frames. That made it instantly better than almost every other home port and you could play it anywhere. Nowadays I play Outrun through the Cannonball engine which has been ported to several systems, like the Wii. It is a great way to play, 60 FPS (although you can change it if you want), and a good set of options and new modes, like being able to play every single route in one long driving session!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

I wasn't aware cannonball was ported over to the Nintendo Wii. That is very cool

[@urbansahara3972]

I used to have the deluxe cabinet a few years ago. Very fun but also very big. So I swaped it with a high speed pinball. The outrun cabinet went on a tour with other arcade games. I would like to have a stand up cabinet some day..

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

That's awesome, I played the sit down version of power drift but never outrun

[@noelio67]

Loved driving in the car of Turbo Outrun back in the arcades of Salthill, Galway city....back in the 80s 90s. Sega Ages released the arcade version of Outrun on the Nintendo switch last year.......among other classics.....hopefully Turbo will get released......cos the Megadrive/Genesis version lacked the original sounds/voices and feel of the arcade

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

The game was never released in North America so I was only able to play it later on in emulator. Turbo would be fantastic on the switch and hopefully it does get released

Another superb video! As an aside I think Outrun 2 is even better. A beautiful experience to play.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Couldn't agree more! Outrun 2 is fantastic

[@animatedplastic]

I loved this game. The music was so iconic and still great today. They remixed the music on the Japanese Saturn version (in addition to the original Aracde music) and the Musical Sound Shower is SOOOO amazing. I still listen to it in my playlist today. The US did eventually get a release of this game from Working Designs (under the SPAZ name yeah that's a whole other thing....) There was an updated sequel that came out called Outrun Online Arcade. You could drive all of the Fully Licensed Ferraris and unlock super rare and unique ones. Very fun game it did have different play style, but very much worth picking up if you never played it. Great video.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Fantastic, thanks for the info. Glad you enjoyed the video thanks

[@HappyCodingZX]

Thanks for your work - I'm sure you know of it but it wasn't in the picture - Outrunners is a nice arcade sequel to Outrun that really pushes the limits of pixel scaled games.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

It was really good and I will continue to cover this SequELs and later videos

[@SomeOrangeCat]

The best way to play Outrun on the PC was on a Tandy-1000. You see, the Tandy 1000 had the same sound hardware as the Sega Master System. So when games were optimized to utilize it, you got a much richer sounding game than normal MS-DOS PCs did. Thankfully DosBox can be easily configured to run in Tandy-1000 mode. You set the machine type to Tandy and make sure the Tandy sound option is turned on in the config file. The way I do the former is I have two lines in DosBox's config telling it what system I want it to be, with a # in front of the one I'm not currently wanting to play, because hastags render any line a "comment". You can easily toggle stuff this way.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

I did not know that, thanks for the info. I'll check it out again as the DOS version was the best home computer version

[@SomeOrangeCat]

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries That Tandy was something else. It was a kind of hand me down from my uncle. Not all games supported Tandy graphics and sound, but the ones that did were a real treat.

I’m surprised that the Amiga version was as well-received in this video as it was. For an Amiga, those sound effects are pretty bad (that skid noise and engine noise in particular - ugh!), and the border colours are pretty nauseating at times. The _Lotus_ games showed that the Amiga was more than capable of a decent car game, whereas US Gold continue their run of poor arcade conversions with _OutRun._

You forgot the Tiger tabletop and electronic handheld. They are not bad for limited lcd games and fun for what they are. I own the Tiger handheld. Would love to have the tabletop one as well. Anyway lost count how many numerous quarters I dumped into this game growing up. Lol

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

This is still my all-time favorite racing arcade game

My life is officially complete if I own a deluxe Out Run game

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

That would be fantastic

Outrun is why the Ferrari Testarossa is my Lizard's (Let's just leave it at Mascot) choice of vehicle. While I'm great with the sequel (Outrun 2) I could never get good with the oriignal, Outrun turbo, or the many spin-offs on the SMS. :(

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

I never cared for the spinoffs except for turbo outrun but I did love outrun 2
