55K plays 1989 #Racing
Turbo OutRun (ターボアウトラン) is a 1989 racing game developed and published by Sega for arcades. A follow-up to 1986's Out Run, it was released as a dedicated game, as well as an upgrade kit for the original Out Run board. Like its predecessor, Turbo OutRun has players driving a Ferrari, this time a Ferrari F40. Players traverse a set route across the continental United States from New York City to Los Angeles. In addition to a time limit, Turbo OutRun also adds a computer-controlled opponent driving a Porsche 959. The "Turbo" in the title plays a factor as players can press a button to receive a brief turbo boost of speed. Various power-ups which increase the vehicle's attributes can be chosen at various stages of the game.
Ports of Turbo OutRun were released for home computers as well as Sega's own Mega Drive. Computer ports of the game were received with varying degrees of enthusiasm. While the Commodore 64 version received a positive reception, the 16-bit conversions received negative reviews.
