Also known as
3D Out Run Out Run SEGA AGES アウトラン Sega Ages: OutRun アウトラン

Drive a Ferrari through branching scenic routes in this fast-paced arcade racing game.

OutRun was originally released in arcades in 1986. The Sega Genesis/Mega Drive version was released in 1991, with the North American release on March 14, 1991, and the European release in 1991. The legacy year of 1991 matches the earliest worldwide commercial release of this exact game version on the Sega Genesis.

About OutRun

OutRun presents a racing experience where the player drives a Ferrari, accompanied by a passenger, through a selection of environments. The perspective is from a third person view positioned behind the vehicle.

Navigating the course requires managing challenging road conditions, including tight corners and obstacles that can cause the car to spin out, resulting in a time penalty. The route is not linear, as the player encounters a junction at the end of each segment, allowing a choice of path. The objective is to finish a run composed of five stages, selected from a total of fifteen available sections.
