Out Runners (c) 1993 Sega.

Between 1 and 8 players (the latter requiring the use of link-up cabinets) compete in this colourful update of the 1986 classic, "Out Run". Out Runners features the multiple routes of the original but this time includes a large number of selectable vehicles; each of which poses different strengths and weaknesses, such as higher speed or better handling. Out Runners captures of the spirit of Out Run adding characters, humour, numerous selectable soundtracks (including a radio broadcast of the race by Jake Elwood) and a seamless driving experience barely interrupted by crashes.

TRIVIA -

Even if titlescreen says 1992, OutRunners was released in May 1993 in Japan.

The name of the DJ (Jake Elwood) is a combination of the names of the main characters (Joliet 'Jake' and 'Elwood' Blues) in the 1980 film 'The Blues Brothers'.

"Magical Sound Shower", "Passing Breeze" and "Splash Wave" are the original Out Run soundtracks that can also be found in 'Out Runners' - albeit in 'enhanced' form. Out runner's creators, The AM2 group (led by Yu Suzuki) also created these other famous Sega games :
"After Burner" (1987)
"Enduro Racer" (1986)
"F1 Exhaust Note" (1991)
"Galaxy Force" (1998)
"G-Loc - Air Battle" (1990)

"Turbo Out Run" (1989)
"Virtua Fighter" (1993)
"V.R. - Virtua Racing" (1992)
"Out Run 2" (2003)

A hugely impressive game CV by anyone's standards.

Toshiba EMI released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Virtua Racing & Out Runners - TYCY-5365) on 15/12/1993.

TIPS AND TRICKS -

To play Jingle Bells as the background music, you must first start a race. Any time during the race hit the next music station and previous music station at the same time.
