Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             OutRun series (4 titles)
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Sega
RELEASED:         various
TYPE:             Racing (auto)
LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          Back in the Stone Age of full-color arcade games (that
                  would be post-Reagan), Sega decided to reinvent the
                  first-person racing game.  The end result was Super
                  Hang-On, and it proved so popular that they decided to
                  retool it as an auto racing game, tweaking the game
                  engine in the process for better performance.  Thus was
                  the road racing legend known as OutRun born.  In this
                  series, you (and oftimes your girlfriend riding shotgun)
                  get to take part in a long cross-country road race that
                  measures not only your endurance but your ability to stay
                  on the road while avoiding various obstacles, such as
                  other vehicles coming at and from behind you.  Spawned
                  several successors and many, many imitators; however, its
                  the original that everybody from that time remembers.

IMPRESSIONS:      The one and only - Sega's road racing classic!  All of
                  the entries are quite faithful to their arcade originals,
                  which means that they have the same bonuses and flaws.
                  Get the original because it's a classic; get the others
                  because they're cool, too.

VARIATIONS:       OutRun (1991, ported straight from the arcade, complete
                    with your girlfriend riding shotgun, the multi-leg
                    California road race, and your choice of the original
                    BGM tunes - kinda slow compared to the original, and I
                    I tend to prefer the faster Amiga version, but still
                    enjoyable)
                  Turbo OutRun (1992, same idea as before but this time
                    you're in a race across the United States - not all
                    that different gameplaywise, but one can note slight
                    improvements in the game engine that would be more
                    fully realized in the next entry)
                  OutRun 2019 (1993 by Sims Co. LTD, released in Japan and
                    certain other markets under the title Junkers High -
                    this time the road race is set in the future, but you
                    get to drive a turbo-assisted rocket-powered car on a
                    rather difficult track that has some new hazards not
                    seen in the earlier entries)
                  OutRunners (1994, ported straght from the arcade - it's
                    the classic OutRun revisited but adds a split-screen
                    two-player head-to-head mode and gives you a small
                    selection of cars frim which to choose - this is in
                    most fans' opinion the best game of the Genesis series)

                  There are two other titles in the series available for
                  the Sega Master System - Battle OutRun and OutRun Europa

OutRun - great great arcade racer, spawned many imitations(namely Cruisin' USA series, blah) I love the blonde riding shotgun who gets pissed at you when you mess up :) Great music too

Turbo OutRun- The Outrun you know and love, with more speed! yeeehaw, speed is always good.

Outrun 2018 - Fun, futuristic, reminds of Roadblasters, but not as good as the original Outrun. Sims did go on to make Vay though, fun rpg :)

Outrunners - Outrun with *shock* two players! Yippie! Lot's of fun to play.

I give the series a 9.5

Out Run - Excellent port of the arcade version, has an added music selection. A bit easier than the arcade version.

Turbo Out Run - Crappy, it really is. I don't like the engine, it seems down-scaled. The music doesn't seem very "Out Runish" by any means.

Outrunners - Two players is nice, and I like the new music and stages. The computer tends to show you up at the last second though, which pisses me off sometimes.

Out Run 2019 - Even though it was done by a 3rd party company, it's still a pretty good game. The music matches the very cool futuristic stages. The game is a bit easy though, but makes up for it's multiple paths even within single routes.

I must rate these games on there own, it wouldn't be fair to Outrun 2019. Only because I haven't played that game yet.

Outrun:

A great conversion of the classic arcade hit, looks good and is very good, just as I remeber it in the Arcade.

Outrunners:

Slightly different that the Arcade version (because the game is played on one split screen, instead of 2 screens), but the same game none the less. Very fun and fast. I'd like it more if you could disable the split screen.

*Retread of my old post that I lost in a reply* :

Nice game that's fun to play, it's over in a flash, but the features like ramps, upper and lower tracks, and the futuristic look is a nice addition. Hard to improve on the original, but a nice new slant on it. This game series will always be a classic and gets it's fair share of playing time in my Genesis. Very cool.

This is a fun game. If my calculations are correct, when that baby hits 570 mph, you're gonna see some serious shit!
