I once came across a Turbo Outrun cabinet like the one this guy played in this video review, but I don't think it had the Turbo Outrun instruction bezel right above the screen like in this video.
BTW i didn't play this cabinet when i saw it because I remember playing it back in the early 90s once at a skating rink, and the music used on the first 4 stages in the game (Rush A Difficulty) made me not wanna play it anymore back in the early and mid 90s. Which was kind of sad because I was a big fan of racing games back then.

-Shiqna1 I think you miss understood me. What I was getting at was, its always nice to see obscure games getting a little more screen play then the popular games. I love my arcade games, and a lot of the games I enjoy, a lot of people don't really talk about! I mean how often do you hear someone say -My favorite arcade games are Zombie Raid, Chiller, The Combatribes, and Blood Storm- for example? Not often. And I also trust -phreakindee 110%, the man does a fantastic review every time!

Great Review! Love Out Run and the Turbo version is pretty good too. It's a shame they did away with the multiple routes as that was one of my favourite things about the original. I used to like replaying it just to see what those other endings were like.
You're really lucky having an arcade close by where you can play these kinds of classic titles. All of the ones near me tend to have newer and less interesting titles. What's more, most of the units are slot machines. Urrgh!

I went to an arcade that had a Guilty Gear machine, and the cabinet was shoddily converted, the cabinet still said Mortal Kombat, not sure which version if it, and had holes for missing buttons that Guilty Gear didn't use. Oh well, that place was actually selling them as well for 2, 000 dollars, even the ones that looked like they'd seen hell. Some even had messed up monitors in them, so I doubt anyone would buy them unless they could fix them up. Still cool, I miss arcades.

Sweet, I love arcade machines. Sadly we didn't have an Outrun machine that moved but the local arcade did have the fully enclosed After Burner game.
Shame the arcade is now full of boring rhythm games and gambling machines instead.
Also I'm still annoyed you Americans played at the arcade with quarters, a credit cost an entire quid over here.

Great review. I have never seen the arcade version shown in such detail before with a few of its levels. A nice follow-up to Outrun I do think it is a shame about no forks in the road but as long as the gameplay is still there then I guess it is all good. I like the touch of your girlfriend leaving your car for your opponents. Quite amusing.

-blablupp77 It really is a shame so many OutRun cabs were killed for this game, including this one I played one as far as I know. I really have a love/hate relationship with conversion kits for arcade machines.
It's still a fun game, but yeah, more often than not I prefer the original OR to TOR.

-Shiqna1 Thanks dude, glad you enjoyed!
I wish I could have showed more footage too, but my phone didn't pick it up very well and the cabinet was constantly moving back and forth so it was hard to get clear footage. For future arcade games, I hope to have more monitor footage.

-JMMREVIEW It actually does the game a surprising amount of justice! It's got a new drifting and slipstream system, but it fits into the whole OutRun feel rather well. A very fun game, I'd very much recommend downloading it before its license to be on XBLA runs out this December.

on the turbo outrun machine you were playing in this video, did the shifter have a turbo button on it, or was the start button used for turbo on it? Since that machine was a outrun conversion into turbo outrun, i bet the start button was the turbo button, am i right?
