Arcade Memories Game Of The Week - OutRun

[Bods]

An absolute classic and if not the most collected Arcade Machine it's in top few

I know some people aren't that bothered with it and that's fine, not everyone likes driving games. I enjoy them because I'm at least reasonable at playing them unlike Platform and Shoot em ups lol

Do you remember first seeing one and playing it? This is one I will always remember. So what year I did I first see one, well it was released in September 1986 and it was Standard upright when Fair was at local park so that must of been Summer 1987 then. Watched a few others play and was blown away with every aspect of the game, was like nothing seen before, I remember having 2 goes and taking right fork both times, for years I thought that was the easy route. I used the gear shifter to slow down instead of using brake pedal as I found it easier standing up. also remember thinking wow this is like driving a real car, not that I was driving at 15 but I think it was because the Analogue controls worked so well and it felt perfect after playing driving games with joystick like Pole Position on Atari 2600. The wheel shaking side to side when you crashed was brilliant, though I couldn't have told you that till I had a go on upright years later

So OutRun was cemented in my head from then on, Couldn't wait for Commodore 64 version to be released and bought it soon as it was out, okay it wasn't the best but that's all we had, yes I had the soundtrack tape while I played it at least you had something from the original arcade, don't think my parents appreciated having to listen to it while in the Cortina with sunroof open but soundtrack was so cool and I'd always enjoyed the music side of arcade games and C64 ones

School mate bought Sega Master System when that came out and told me he had OutRun on it, can hear him saying it now.... It's exactly same as the arcade! I thought yeah of course it is and when I had a go, okay better than C64 but how can it be close to original on an 8bit console

Not 100% sure if I seen one in Leicester Arcades but I do remember in one Thomas's they had quite a few big sit down games along the left wall as you walked in and I bet OutRun was one but with cost to play them I suspect that's why I never had a go on them, would suspect they had a few of the Sega Deluxe machines, why I can't remember I don't know

When first started on the Emulators I couldn't believe it when we first got to play OutRun again on System 16, not perfect as some of the sounds were missing, high/low gears didn't work right if you used Steering wheel/Shifter but was amazing to see it again after so many years, it was updated at some point with Force Feedback added, had a Thrustmaster Ferrari Force feedback wheel at that point and it worked really well even when I found out after the wheel on arcade wasn't force feedback but the shaker type.

This made me determined to get Original OutRun and after looking at the pictures of Deluxe Sitdown I'd made up my mind I needed to own one, so the hunt began. I started searching internet all the time, I came across guy called Nick Hutt, every search I did on Outrun Deluxe he had wanted posts for Space Harrier Dlx. While looking, I used to get sent over Skegness fairly often and started popping in Arcades in my Lunch Break, they still had Outrun Deluxe in one of the Arcades, this was 2001 and had first go on the Deluxe Machine, It was running the Japan Layout

One night I found posted on a site, forum type I think a guy asking what Space Harrier and Outrun machines were worth, I didn't bookmark and next day I tried to find it again but couldn't, I'd messaged Nick to tell him I'd found this post but he couldn't find anything either. we got talking and said we'd help each other trying to find machine we both wanted, he then told me there was an OutRun dlx on ebay a week or so back, that's when he told me about ebay completed listings and sure enough he wasn't lying £150 Buy It Now had been changed to Turbo Outrun and movement didn't work, well it woudn't unless it was Upgraded original PCB.

Wondering how the hell I'd missed that Outrun when I looked daily, It just happened to be when I was in bed that week ill with flu, if I couldn't even sit at my Computer I must of been ill
After that a few more Outrun machines came up on ebay, everytime they would get ended before Auction finished, I offered them £1000 and didn't get a reply from most, got reply on one saying sorry I've been offered £2000, said they had been given money by software company and they were buying it to help develop it for gameboy advance or something like that

Then Nick told me about Jamma+ and Ukvac and said get on there and ask people, so thats when I joined up. Nick used to check Coin Op sales and found guy offering Deluxe OutRun, he sent me guys details and I made the guy an offer, pretty sure this guy would of took £500/600 as he seemed surprised I'd offered that much, it wasn't bad condition but not best I'd seen but just happy to get one and working, though by time I got it home it didn't work, monitor had died, turned out it had 25" Hantarex bodged in there, finally found a diode that had broke in half and got it working again but it always had issue of sides of screen wobbling, it worked okay when 19" Hanatrex connected but not the 25" anyway that monitor ended up in a 2nd Dlx I accidentally won as typically happens, soon as I bought mine, another on ebay from Fair Ground guys and ended at £500 working, mine also had some other type steeing mech bodged in it, hacked up wiring for it, so I swapped it all over and the 26" WG monitor into mine so it's at least half decent. Then another nice one was for sale on ebay in Coventry and ended at £1000

Oh well, I was a complete Novice at this point with Arcade Machines, I got one and that's the main thing and it's still here in same condition

Pics when I got it and only place to put it was crappy old Concrete garage, photo's Dec 2002, when cold it wouldn't move hardly lol
The plan was to restore it but then I just kept buying more machines

Personally I am perhaps one of those people not too bothered on outrun tho it’s a great game to play I was a bit spoiled having already had a few pole positions and other drivers and soon preferred the likes of chase hq and special criminal investigation sci because the cabs were a bit more appealing and several similar driver games soon followed…

Never owned one at first but serviced the GX Chester Super Bowl game zone when it first came out new and played it having the key to all the games there… enjoyed the feel of the bumps in the road as visually it felt quite like the stomach lift of real hump bridges you get at speed but it wore off when more expected . The fast graphics were hypnotising and made you want to go again but a bit mind blowing when you walked away .. not in my top 10, but I know lots of players love it and eventually I did buy just one (oh the self control? No it was cheap by time I got that one)!

Best home adaptation I once experienced a guy in Stoke asked me service his pinball and he had an outrun u/r and had a small fan rigged on the wall just above and amazingly it gave the impression of driving an actual convertible open top with the wind in your hair …. I think it just got over copied too quick on to Atari amstrad and commodore type home systems meant it didn’t attract so much money on commercial sites sadly.
One plus it did hold its value secondhand?

Used to be a post pub favourite after a few beers in and around my job in Great Portland Street.
Played with my friend Pete in the arcade next to Googe Street tube.
We weren't very good... Probably due to the Greene King earlier.

I remember going to the Spennymoor swimming pool, (already an amazing day out as a kid, as it had a wave machine) but even better - they had an Outrun upright.

It was like a window to another world - hot, blue sky California cool, with the gentle breeze, incredible graphics and legendary tunes. Never had any money to play, but would stand in front of it, and attempt to steer (and peer over the wheel).

Later, one of the spectrum magazines had the tunes on a cassette tape on a cover, and I remember playing that on repeat in my walkman.

Must have played 100s of hours in emulators, only saw a full size recently in arcade club.

Never completed all of the courses 😭

 

[LHantz]

Never saw it until I went to Blackpool in about 1988, my mate could complete most routes because he bloody lived on it whilst holidaying in France a year before! I remember seeing it in Commodore User or Zzap! 64 just looked incredible, the Palm trees were a blur because it was taken with a normal Camera. I nearly bought one about 15 years ago with the mentioned mate, it was mint and it was £500, we should have taken a punt..!

 

[John Bennett]

No memories unfortunately, can barely remember playing it in the arcades - if it was in Whitley Bay, it would've been in upright form and it was around 1989 when I started going there, so into the age of 3D stuff like Hard Drivin, Winning Run, S.T.U.N Runner etc so it didn't register. Chase HQ was the sprite-scaling driving game I spent the most money on (which also has a motorized deluxe version). I do remember Outrunners appearing and it just looked very dated.

Perhaps I did miss out a bit. I think I played it on our DOS PC, but it was a conversion best forgotten.

 

[Stokers]

I often saw Outrun at Michaelwood services (conveniently located at Junction 14 of the M5). This wasn't a one-off, I would actually pester my Mum and Dad to take me to the services so I could spend an hour or so playing the arcades. At the time Michalelwood services had decent slection of cabs including an Outrun standup, G-Loc, Pit Fighter and most importantly Chase HQ.

My experience is oddly similar to John's. I missed out on Outrun in the arcade, this was about 1989 so perhaps the hype had died down. Chase HQ was my game, the combination of driving and action was much more appealing to me. I also played a terrible PC port of Outrun, with an odd colour negative colour scheme. It wasn't until a friend imported Outrun for the Megadrive that I would play a half decent version of it.

outrun rocked my world .
I had been playing pole position and hang on in Bangor County Down .
Loved hang on then and still do .. maybe outrun gets all the credit .but hangon deluxe mmm
Any way ,I was in USA ,north Carolina .a 6 week trip to stay with strangers who have remained friends
I remember walking along the beach and up onto the pier and seeing outrun for the first time
Wow .i was gobsmacked
It was a stand up ,full size cab .i had to play .it was the attention to detail in the graphics that rocked me .even before the music
The grass moving at the sides of stages .the hills that wernt in pole position or hang on ,the shaking of the steering wheel
this was a whole new league ,it was fair to play and didn’t just wipe you and your money
Then the fork in the road
I owned it on spectrum ,was crap .enjoyed enduro racer a lot more on it
Had it on master system the day it came out in wool worths .had saved hard for it .25 quid was a lot at the time
It was good and I played it to death .but the pc engine version years later was a
A country mile ahead
Atari st again pretty crap too

I had a rough mini outrun ,I restored a few years ago .i got the board repaired and the updated roms .replaced monitor ,got another dash ,steering wheel ,reproduction map and steering wheel badge .but i was never fully happy with it and sold it
I went to arcade club Blackpool ,played their deluxe and missed mine so much
I actually bought one on the train on the way home .from USA
It took over a year to get here ,but it’s got a smarty pi to play the other games .nice and reliable and fun .ive the original board
I’ve replaced the marquee and map art on dash and power supply.
There
Was n.o.s steering gears and stuff in it I fitted too
This time its going nowhere .just need a steering wheel badge now lol f anyone has one
Definitely a top 3 game of all time .
I had a soft spot for wec le
Mans too and obviously hang on and enduro racer
But I would never pass an outrun without a blast
I also had a bid on a deluxe in a live auction in 2018 . Sort of glad I didn’t get it as don’t have that kind of room
think it went for about 1500 not much more .needed work and parts

@69er interesting to here others opinions on it and they prefer other ones like Chase HQ etc (great one too)
I thought about a fan in the Dlx also, I think that really would of added to the game, specially if it was controlled on game speed give you even more sense of speed

@NivagSwerdna It was a few years back now when the prices had dropped to rock bottom, I sold a Monitor or something to a guy that had bought full size upright OutRun, was on ebay and sold pretty cheap but guy went to collect apparently and said it wasn't good enough, so this guy paid him like £100 odd for it and he was buying a few old classic games to put in his Pub in Wellingborough, were talking about 12 years back

@devtty0 That's what draws me in, The cool wave sounds, Palm trees, passing the sea on a lovely sunny day up and down those hills, it's like an escape from the typical british summer, be an absolute dream to be driving a Testarossa somewhere like that with Hot bird next to you, Prefer dark hair though, the other half playing in 2007 when I had space lol
and yeah that was the only 2 goes I ever remember playing it in 80's and probably 90s as I didn't have much money to play, many of the games I just stood watching, was good just being there though, be a different story if I'd not been there at all and not seen the games


@John Bennett I can't remember clear enough seeing one in my local arcades and I thought I would with something you really like. things did change pretty quick in the 80's with the games so it's not long before older one looks outdated, I was surprised when going in arcades later 90s and looking at some of my favs and thinking that's not as good as I remember it, though I go on some of the early Home Ports soon gets you mind back to how good the arcade versions were
When I played OutRun 2 first time in Skegness and then went on the Outrun Dlx straight after it felt so slow, My Nephew wasn't impressed with OutRun Gfx and he was used to playing games on Megadrive since he was about 3/4, I said you have to see what driving games came before it and then you'll see just how good it was, he gets it though

I do think OutRun deluxe should of had a full Motion cab though, with all the hills it tipping back and forward would of been amazing, If i had the money, space and time I'd probably build one, The Top Speed/Chase HQ one is really cool, I have Top Speed Dlx PCB

@Stokers It's strange because so many OutRun cabs survived, they brought out the Turbo OutRun so some got converted to that also, wonder how long OutRun was in most Arcades for, then again It wasn't many years I was going in them, 86 at the earliest but probably more like 87 and last time I played in my local ones was 1989/1990 latest when I was at college on a wed, me and another lad went up to the Krystals one, he would happily keep banging loads of coins in. after that I didn't play games much because you get a car and busy out in it etc

@Body pop glad you got another, it's deffo one of my last that would ever go and in top 3 also
Hang-On is cool, It's probably just Cars being more popular than Bikes that decides that outcome as i'm not really a Bike fan but happy to play bike games

The other massive factor was choosing the route when road forks, that was a really cool feature, also probably helped making more money, if you completed it on a set course or you had 2 or 3 it's no where near as good as going different ways like OutRun, having the choice in real time is brilliant idea and 5 different finishes to see, it just gives you something to go back to and have another go without getting bored I think

It was probably the first driving game I played in arcades unless i played any old mechanical ones in the 70's on holiday, wish I could remember more and if I seen more outrun cabs after the fair but just can't unlike some of the other games

I did play it quite a bit on the Amiga though, better but just didn't compare

 

[Flinnster]

For me Outrun is probably the most impactful arcade game I ever played. It is the holy grail.

I was spoilt, as the moment first played it was in the DLX (which was brand spanking new).
It was the first time I'd sat in a moving cab.....It was the first time I'd seen sprite scaling used so effectively....It was probably the most colourful game I'd seen up to that point and the graphics honestly blew away everything going on around it at the time.
(I still love you Arkanoid, Bubble Bobble, Rampage, Ikari Warriors, Rolling Thunder, Enduro Racer, 720', Renegade, Alien Syndrome, etc..)

It was such a leap from crappy 8-bit home gaming of the time that I'd even managed to convince myself that the cab went up/down hills and blew air at you depending on how fast you were going.
After that first play Outrun seemed to be everywhere and became the ultimate holiday game in every resort here in the UK, France, Spain, or Greece, every trip to the mountains, or travelling funfair arcade. It was always somewhere in one of the variants!
Of course I got the Speccy version and was bitterly disappointed. Just like Wonderboy the conversions were the worst games out there!

Over the years I've attempted to get quite a few Outrun cabs.. my memorable fails have been:
- In my final year at uni I was offered the student union DLX for £600. It was a bit knackered but working. Ive genuinely kicked myself for 3 decades for not making it happen back then, but I was in no place to even figure out how to move it, let alone home it.
- In 2001 I won a fully working Upright for £75 on ebay. The guy wouldn't sell it to me for my winning bid price, expaining he was expecting more and was only selling due to a nagging wife - again, I kick myself for not just doubling my offer and probably getting the sale!
- More recently I lost out on an Outrun DLX buried away in a store room on the North coast of Ireland. Trying to organise the raid all went south and Andy from arcade club swooped in and grabbed the lot. That DLX I understand is still in the Arcade Club storage, waiting to be restored.

I finally got my DLX in the middle of the pandemic - it felt very lazy getting one that had already been restored! But I thank everyone who helped make it happen and put my endless grail search to an end (you know who you are!)

I'm now saving up for an arcade barn.....

 

[Body pop]

Brill to hear you got a deluxe !

 

[Flinnster]

I'll be spending my entire retirement going Right, Left, Right, Right if the cab is still functional at that point!

 

[Body pop]

I only really appreciated the deluxe again ,when I played it in arcade club
I had myself convinced .it was just like a child’s amusement moving left and right .with a great game installed
But the music behind me ,the big monitor ,and just sitting there relaxing changed my mind .
I better get off this thread or I’ll be wanting one

 

[Vorbis]

If you drive like thepensioners round here, you'll spend most of your time in a ditch 😄

That's cool mate, waiting for longer sometimes mean you appreciate it more in the end

Before OutRun hit the arcades, what was the best driving game?

That's cool mate, waiting for longer sometimes mean you appreciate it more in the end

Before OutRun hit the arcades, what was the best driving game?

1987 was a launch year for several driver games which competed final lap, top speed, chase hq sci and others ….. alongside outrun ….
Before that 1982-84 the Atari Pole Position and Pole position ll seemed to dominate arcades and pub sites with its music attract tones and the annoying tannoy voice saying “ prepare to qualify” the game had a sit in version cab too also other variations on shoot em ups and platform games were in some sites…..

Other early drivers still drew some appeal like Monaco GP . From even earlier ? kids always liked to think they were joyriding a dads car or similar dreams of younger teenagers…

when I was about 10 in the 1960s I would spend the odd coin on a ‘thing’ (driver game) which was called Indy 500 or something. Steering wheel and wood bench fitted seat and a dinky model race car on a stalk behind the glass .. it lit up for about a minute and a huge road printed translucent drum revolved with cars printed on and weaved side to side…. The sound effect of hitting a car or running on the grass was a deep rumble which I later found out when I began collecting / repairing in the 70s was generated by a mechanical link to a record player tone arm balanced on a piano wire spring mounted to vibrate and echo inside the cab or maybe a speaker?
That was high tec back then and I played it…. I also liked the marksman light rifle range cabs with 20 lit targets or knock down bears play for a penny and money back for a rare full 20 score ( close but not often rewarded)

 

[patloz]

Was never a massive fan of the game itself ( as I was more into Moto X at the time so preferred Enduro racer ) but the soundtrack was magical and being able to "tune" the radio to different soundtracks was a master stroke.

Not forgetting the adolescent dream of actually having a leggy blonde wearing hot pants in a Testarossa with you.

There are lots of games that people either like or dislike, Outrun is one of the very few games where I don't know anyone who doesn't have it in their "like" list which is why it will always command a strong price and sell in hours and strangely enough I think the availability of the Smarty PI PCB actually increases desirability in this case as the PCB are so complicated and there are limited repair options, I do think the tide is turning regarding plug and play emulation though and it will become more and more acceptable as time goes on.

Before Out run (and equivalents on same hardware ) I would say Super Sprint was the driver I played the most , three player, big med res screen , kept my interest enough to buy one at the time.

 

[69er]

Apologies slight drift off topic But still arcade memories….

Arcades in the 1960s seemed much more fun without the crt video . We bet on rotary horse race games with jockey Lester Piggott and Harry Wragg The big Brittania penny was cheap 240 for a pound but we never ever had a whole pound but 24 for 2 shillings (10 p decimal) lasted ages ,, dock crane grabbers for a penny fruit salad and blackjack sweets you could win one or two but the realism you could buy 4 for a penny in sweet shops

Coin pusher penny falls really got a big push not achieved with the tiny 1p replacement which valued at the higher 100 for a pound .. what a rip off decimalisation was in 1971 I was 18 then

One of my all time favourites was a huge rocket shaped old penny drop in game the coins ran a zigzag chute to land on a sloped moon crater surface and craters filed with pennies until heavy enough (at various pressures) to fall through to win that crater full and moon surface pennies were lost unless they sometime avalanche d down the slop into the crater on a lucky drop? But more often lost, especially if they ran full slope to the coin box below

The wheel em in just came out to land 1d penny between the lines for 3d or 6d wins a mate of mine in Rhyl found a glass top key universal to all. And we used to go in Parker’s arcade lift the glass and put a penny on the 6d but you had to get the glass down quick as the wins cascaded down the glass from above…
You can’t do that now on the new roll a coin as the electronic control sees the coin enter the mech and several coins transfer to the rear elevator on entry count and when it knows the lift hopper is full the transfer belt reverses and coins go to the collect box below while the lift hopper goes up .. if the glass is off the payout is barred unless you put a coin through the mech

cranes too count coins in to meet gaming regulations you will see in the prize out chute a infra red like bar code supermarket till reader beam break counts teddies out which weakens the crane grab for a random amount of input which is why you never hardly win a prize even when you steer them directly to grab a toy. The perils of processor controls??


All the arcades still had the all win 9 cups and win/lose ball traps at 1d all round the walls and one of my all time favourites was… Tooty Fruity on the big penny we could spin the coin left or right and almost guide them skilfully to the unlit fruit to win .. they were our bankers and returned to them when penny stocks ran low to sort of top up … not always and Sol Parker used to chase ours out if we hit him for a few penny wins I STILL HAVE ONE OF THOSE ON 1p coin at home good money box for trouser change it probably has about 40 quid in it as the massive coin box probably hold a hundred quid full or more?

All the other old pier style machines could also be played in some seaside arcades ‘what butler saw ‘ saucy flick photo wind round the handle viewer our first video simulators …. L O . L ….. and huge animation working models like wardrobes full of moving figures and of course who could resist MORGANA The real gypsy fortune teller whose severed upper body dispensed a penny card with your live and life fate ??????? Depended on how they were shuffled and stacked but we naive young kids believed All Arcadia was another real world to a ten year old unleashed from parental guidance .. fun fun fun I would go back if I could but as most people on here would agree owning your childhood memory cabs is best alternative?

I have a couple of oldies from back then and have even made one or two in that style along the way but space is restricted and age tends to quell enthusiasm a bit . But…..

The show must go on !!!!

 

[69er]

Here’s an example of good old Arcadia we have made during mid 80s to the mid 90s ageless stuff the red blue yellow or green Glendale chicken eggvenders were an easy convert to puppet theatres and an old timer vintage arcade inventor from Rhyl call Sam Moffat ( he invented the cottage style chicken egg machine and the parrot in a dome cage later commercially produced by Glendale in Wales ) he showed us how using the defunct taito invader cabinets just adding a crane and side windows gave space invaders a second life and we soon made a puppet show for one
Puppet show machines using Pelham puppets had been around since the 60s in large pram wheeled cabs and we had repaired a couple for Rhyl arcade owners
The flyer shows our happy time puppet show suitable in markets outside big shops and arcade fronts we made 540 various themes .. circus , Robin Hood ,monsters and dinosaurs , and pirates etc puppets made by us a family enterprise as toys r us Pelham puppets ceased manufacture in 1986 when pedigree toys bought out the company .. sad as 4 £10 ready strung figures was quick but we overcame that making them at home (much trial and error at first) eventually Glendale got awkward supplying the cabs , windows and frames in the specially moulded units which had no egg vend hatch , they maybe thought we were out marketing them and had to stop due to poor supply!!
