OUT RUN - (C)1986/1987 SEGA, US GOLD


BACKGROUND
----------
Taking nine months for numerous programmers to develop the graphic design
and gameplay, OUT RUN must surely be one of the greatest, if not the
greatest, home computer arcade version of all time. The computer game
reproduces as faithfully as possible all of the exciting eiements of the
OUT RUN arcade machine. If it was more realistic you would need a driving
license to play. To add to the authenticity, an audio soundtrack from the
arcade game is included for use on your Hi-fi to recreate that true arcade
excitement.

SEGA(R) have sold 20,000 video arcade machines worldwide making it the
largest selling dedicated arcade game ever. It is the 5th mobile game 
developed by SEGA(R) and is certainly the most successful to date. Although
it is no longer in production OUT RUN has now become a much sought after
addition for those arcade owners who didn't purchase the machine when it
was originally available. Easily an arcade classic among the elite.

the arcade machine, to be used in conjunction with your program to recreate
the true coin-op excitement while enjoying this exhilarating game. There are
three tracks recorded sequentially; Passing Breeze, Splash Wave and Magical
Sound Shower.
