OutRunners - $3, cart only. This is the other Genesis Outrun game released in the US. It's forced splitscreen, like Top Gear, Mario Kart, or Final Lap Twin, for other examples. This means you play in a small window, but eh, it works... the bigger problem is the usual Sega Genesis poor framerate and scaling. The tracks aren't too complex in this game, visually -- they mostly just turn left and right, with stuff on the sides -- but eh, it works. I like the seven or eight cars you can drive as, each with a different driver and passenger, adds some nice variety to the series not present in the other titles; even Outrun 2/2006 only has one driver. Still though, this is a somewhat mixed quality title for sure, with the iffy scaling, small window, etc. As for the gameplay, it's okay. It's fun enough to play more of, but this is no Top Gear for sure, or Outrun 2019.
