Out Run has just reached its 35th Checkpoint! This classic Super-Scaler driving game from famed game designer Yu Suzuki and legendary Sega design studio AM2, has been delighting gamers, and inspiring artists, designers, and musicians the world over since 1986!
There’s something about Out Run that just instantly captivates. Whether your first experience was in the Arcade in the 80's with either a stand-up cabinet, or the Sega Taikan variety (sit-down moving cabinet), or perhaps later on home consoles like the Master System, Game Gear, Genesis, PC-Engine, Sega Saturn, Dreamcast, Xbox or PlayStation, or Nintendo Switch... Out Run's visual and audio aesthetics remain truly timeless, and continues to inspire some 35 years later.
Of course, no trip on any of Out Run’s stunning courses would be complete without the accompaniment of composer Hiroshi Kawaguchi’s unforgettable soundtrack.
Now's the perfect time to revisit this arcade masterpiece. So, pick your favorite tune (cough... Magical Sound Shower!), put that pedal to metal (or trigger to the plastic), and celebrate 35 years of those beautifully pixelated Sega roads!
