Out Run MSX

This is the MSX1 version of the famous game. It almost looks identical to the ZX Spectrum version.

The arcade version of Out Run is the granddaddy of al modern racing games on today's platforms. The MSX version was converted into the so called 'English disease' or 'English style', which means that al the sprites and drawings were in one or two colours only.

The MSX1 version had convincing and persuasive music.

It was released in 1984 by Sega for the MSX system and published by both US Gold and Erbe

oh man, now this is fun to see. current gamers who did not had to endure this kind of quallity of home conversions will never know what it was like to play this at home when the real thing was much more fun to play and had much better graphics :-)

but thanks for posting this nostalgic trip to memory lane :-D

most of the MSX games were ports of spectrum games which made it a little harder to run on the MSX not because of hardware faults but because of the code been run the ports wernt full ports of a game they could be direct ports which meant sumtimes the MSX wud have to try and emulate in a fashion a spectrum code, if the games had been made 1st on the MSX they would probably have run better than the spectrum versions

@3styler1

Yes indeed, although it was quite popular in Holland (where I live), and Spain. But the US and UK markets were already saturated with Atari and Spectrums respectively.

@saigokun yea was a shame realy that the msx wasnt as big over in the western world as the other computers of the time hardware wise it held up pretty good and would have had some good software produced had it not been a late comer to the market
