Y'know I had not realized in spite of the name of the channel, that the history of Out Run had not really been discussed yet. Another fantastic video, please never stop.

@strafefox Год назад

Thanks so much! And yeah it was about time for a new Out Run video, my previous one is already over 10 years old I think :)

@mateusmorais3176 Год назад

oh boy, I wish this video never ended. The playlist I use to work is a mix of: Hang On, Space Harries, Outrun and After Burner, I really like SEGA's golden age.

When the world needed him most he came back with a blast! Thanks Strafefox for your amazing quality. Every video is a masterpiece. Which is no surprise after telling me how many months you've been working on one of these!

@philipcohen7192 Год назад

Outrun is in my top 10 greatest games of all time. I still remember the first time I played it. The game stuck with me so I was excited when they released an arcade perfect version for the Saturn. I still listen to the soundtrack often to this day.

@booghost8187 Год назад

The authors of this channel constantly push out amazing content! The production quality is off the charts! with writing and narration to match! The research involved is also immaculate. It seems each video takes roughly 4 months to develop but I much rather prefer this level of quality and research instead of the rushed weekly videos that other channels chase to try to match the algorithm. It's just so nice to see a video that isn't filled with inaccurate research, lack of sources, grammatical errors, and more. Keep it up, your content is absolutely top tier!

@Gambit771 Год назад

Completely agree. Produce great videos at their own pace rather than chase a deadline, (which gamers know destroys good games) and that makes me look forward to new videos than it does on other channels that churn them out where I pick and choose what I watch.

No repetition of points which seem to be common in RU-vid videos as well as mentioning things and then saying 'we'll come to that later'. It feels like the love for classic gaming is still there from the makers and that's probably due to them but having to rush out so many videos.

OutRun in particular is one of my all-time favs. I remember seeing the motorized cabinet of it and Hang-On in arcades and was always impressed by how immersive they made the games feel. I'd love to try a real moving cabinet again.

Outrun is my favorite arcade driving game. It's perfect in every way, and was super avant-garde. Yu Suzuki and the SEGA team did some amazing wizardry to pull this one off. Salute.

I remember playing Outrun and Hang On as a kid, maybe as an 8 year old, at Chuck E Cheese- those games were 'better' than the other arcade games from the time. And the fact you got to ride on a life size racing motorcycle was pretty mind blowing. And who could forget the full size Afterburner? Those games had 'staying' power as well, as some arcades kept them around well into the early part of the final stage Arcade renovation/refurbishment era from the early 90s which deleted the 'look' of the 70s and 80s arcades for a cleaner, "family fun" center look. Thanks for the outstanding historical recap and video!

I remember wanting so badly to have that experience on my Master System or Nes... When the Sega Genesis launched in 1989 with Space Harrier II...I knew I had to have it. I got my Genesis in 1989 with Altered Beast, Ghouls n' Ghosts, and Space Harrier II. While Space Harrier for the Genesis didn't quite reach the arcade version it was decent for the year. At least it made me good enough to beat Space Harrier in the arcades with 2 credits. Great content!
