Turbo Outrun

1989 · Sega Genesis/Mega Drive · Sega AM2

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. Synopsis from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA.
