OutRun - Commodore 64 Version
What I really liked about the game were the luxurious landscapes. Lots of palm trees and sand dunes always make you feel good, especially if you live in Great Britain! The original OutRun game (the sega arcade version) was the first arcade game ever to allow the player to choose the background music. As with the home computer versions, it featured a man and his girlfriend driving a Ferrari. It was first ported to the Sega Master System in 1987, quickly followed by the C64, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum and MSX. In 1988 the Amiga version was released and in 1989 the Atari ST and PC Dos versions were released. OutRun - PC Dos Version Nice, bright graphics but awful music on this version! Much prefer the 8-bit C64 version myself! |

Created by Yu Suzuki, as far as driving games in the 80s were concerned, this was a 3D masterpiece! Of course, it looks pretty awful now, but back in the 80s this was the only racing game to feature hills. The game also used the sprite-scaling techniques used in Space Harrier. Believe me, at the time this game looked awesome!
