Iabsolutely adore OutRun 2. It’s not only my favourite game in the series, but my favourite arcade racer of all time. I first discovered it at Bournemouth Pier’s arcade and its insane powersliding and exciting visuals completely floored me. I would often play it at lunchtimes and I was lucky enough to review Sumo Digital’s excellent Xbox adaptation when I worked on games™. I still play Coast 2 Coast regularly to this day (Risky Ride is my song of choice) and it’s a game that always manages to make me smile.
What a delight then to not only feature it on this month’s cover, but to complement it with an incredible 32-page book that contains no less than 40 amazing Sega arcade games – from Out Run and Virtua Fighter to Zaxxon and Dynamite Dux. Nick and I have had a lot of fun putting it together and we hope you enjoy reading through it.
