   The acquisition of a PICADE has me playing OUTRUN. This is a game that I remember from my youth with spectacular graphics. The graphics are, in fact, shit. It also has HGVs doing in excess of 180kph. I am questioning SEGA’s commitment to realism.

     @6a62 For 1986, it was utterly revolutionary. Consider that we were used to shite like Pole Position.

     @goatsarah and now I have the music stuck in my head

     I’m sufficiently young that I grew up playing Outrun 2 / Outrun 2006 instead, but I absolutely loved that game

     @ajlanes Stereo speakers behind your head. Cabinet looked a bit like a Ferrari. It cost 50p a play when most games were 10p, but my god, it was such a sight to behold!

     @goatsarah I remember it in arcades with the big cabinet you could sit in. It didn’t matter that the palm trees looked like stacks of cardboard boxes somehow.
