OutRun

The road splits just as the timer gets tight. You pick a direction, line up for the bend, and hope the next stretch leaves enough room to get past traffic.

Retro Replay Review

Gameplay

Drive from checkpoint to checkpoint and use the forks to pick a route. A wide shoulder can make a bad corner survivable, but rolling the car burns time you may need to reach the next checkpoint.

A red sports car rounds a wide bend in Genesis OutRun — OutRun gives the driver more room to recover on wide bends.

The North American release

Sega released OutRun for the North American Genesis in 1991. The cartridge brings the arcade racer’s branching courses to the console.

The Genesis course branches at a fork in the road — OutRun lets you pick the next leg of the trip at each fork.
