The original (and for many, still the best) of Sega's massively successful Out Run series has arrived at 1UP Arcade! Our cabinet is a beautiful original dedicated Leisure Allied Industries (LAI) sit-down cabinet.
While Pole Position may be the game which first achieved a 3D racing perspective, Sega's sprite scaling hardware in Out Run took the 3D racing genre to a new level, adding convincing terrain with hills and plenty of road-side objects. The game's lead designer, Yu Suzuki (Space Harrier, Hang-On, Virtua Fighter), would travel to Europe for inspiration on the games graphics, and together the small team would complete the game in 10 months. Fortunately it was a critical success for Sega, and would become on of the best-selling video games of the 80's.
