OUTRUN 2019
Does this Mega Drive game even count as a futuristic racer any more, given that it now takes place in the past? Maybe not, but it doesn’t matter. The game doesn’t offer the types of beautiful scenery that you would normally expect from an Outrun game – see the box out below for more details on why that is – but it does offer the forked roads of the original and speed boosts like Turbo Outrun, as well as new features like overpasses. For some reason, when we tracked ebay prices for this game, the auctions were considerably lower than Buy It Now prices, so we’d advise you to wait and look for a bargain if you’re going down that route. The Japanese version is rather more expensive than the others, as is to be expected due to the Mega Drive’s relative lack of popularity in the country.
