Run it in DOSBox with machine=tandy

How do I do that?

Never mind, I figured it out.

If you enjoy Outrun and some of the older Sega coin-ops, then you should buy a copy of Shenmue 2 for Xbox or even Dreamcast if you can find it. The arcade in the Golden Quarter contains the coin-op versions of Outrun, Hang on, afterburner2, A semi-3d shooter whose name escapes me for the moment (space harrier or something) and one more which i've completely forgotten. Good stuff

One of the best games ever created!

Anyone knows a way of playing the arcade edition? Through an emulator or something.

I d like to have that Sega game where you drove a black car with "sonic" hanging over in the mirror.

The son of this one. The reason outrun is a adored game is the arcade version who was fantastic but difficult.

The PC version is fun, but pretty easy and the graphics and playability suck compared to arcade.

I cried when I heard that music

That was the main attraction in arcade parks back in old days.
Sweet memories...

It's been almost three years really since I posted here?! :E

Now I must contradict myself. Re-played (the arcade version, of course) and it's a winner. Just make sure to have an analog controller (a stick is enough), there's just no point in using a toggle one and you won't get far with it and it will be frustrating (my bad).

Another one of Sega's pioneering 3D masterpieces. Technically it stood at awesomeness. All hail Sega!!

Haven't tried the PC version though.

EDIT: It's HARD though. But I beat all the five endings. :thumbs:

Since someone dug up this topic: in the pc version it's not that hard to get to all different endings.
Just as a side-remark: I remember that when starting the game in 4 colours (CGA) the car would be a little faster than in 16 colours (VGA), resulting in better times! It was something in the lines of 293 versus 288 km/h top speed.

Thanks for telling me, I find now funny remembering the times when game features had to be taken down because of limitations in the hardware LOL
