***** by Reinen. Comment: "My second fave of all time (beaten only by PowerDrift, also by SEGA) - everything about this game is smooth - the option to choose your music at the beginning was magic(al Sound Shower) - and although I never got past stage 2 in about a decade of playing, I always went back for more." 2003-02-15 19:13:17Z

**** by marminZ80. Comment: "Out Run was a novelty in those days; look at the smooth scrolling of the scenery and the details. That was not done before. Also, it had great athmotsferic music! It was stunning to play. One of the most graphic innovative games of that year." 2003-05-28 22:48:42Z

***** by cwert99. Comment: "Made in 1986, Out Run set the standard for driving games. Even 15 years later when you see these new driving games on location, there is elements that were stripped directly from the Out Run, but no one has been able to capture the soul and the heartbeat of this forever hit.
