help Out Run FAQ
What made Out Run different from other 1980s racing games?
Out Run used Sega's Super Scaler arcade technology to create fast, colorful pseudo-3D roads. It also let players choose branching routes, so the drive could end at different destinations instead of following one fixed track.
Who composed the music for Out Run?
Hiroshi Kawaguchi composed Out Run's famous arcade soundtrack. Players could choose tracks such as Magical Sound Shower, Passing Breeze, and Splash Wave from the in-game radio.
What car is Out Run based around?
Out Run features a red convertible clearly inspired by a Ferrari Testarossa Spider, though licensing details have varied across releases. The fantasy of driving a fast open-top sports car with a passenger is central to the game's appeal.
Was Out Run only an arcade game?
No. It began as a 1986 Sega arcade game, but it was later ported to many home systems including the Sega Master System, Genesis, Commodore 64, and PC Engine. The arcade cabinet, especially the moving deluxe version, remains the iconic version.
