And what machine?
Curiously having spent a not inconsiderable amount of time and 10p's in Seafront arcades when I was... shall we say younger lol, (late eighties early nineties era) I don't actually recall seeing an Outrun Cabinet. First played it on a mates Commodore64 and being impressed later found it in a un played games compilation for my Spectrum 128+2a. I didnt even realise it was an arcade conversion, such was my ignorance. I think it was one of those packs with two tapes of "Ocean hits" or something to do with a company called US Gold. So thats the version I played, in all its green and black glory lol, but the title screen actually had a red car so it had to be good didnt it? Well ive not run it in a speccy emulator but my memory was of a fairly smooth, if not colourful racing game.
Since that ive only played a Mamed version, and that my friends is my entire sad and lonely experience of Outrun before I found the glorious and cheap Outrun 2006: Coast 2 Coast courtesy of Steam. Loving the remixed tunes too :)
