Hard Drivin’, Atari Lynx
Developed by NuFX and published by Atari Corporation in 1991, the Atari Lynx version of Hard Drivin’ was quite impressive for the time. It showed that the Lynx could handle rudimentary 3D polygonal games – and in colour. Something that its main rival (the Nintendo Game Boy), couldn’t do.
Out Run, Game Gear
The 1991 Game Gear port of Sega‘s classic arcade racer, Out Run, was converted by Sanritsu Denki Co., Ltd. and features “Versus Computer” and “Versus Human” gameplay modes.
OutRunners, Arcade
OutRunners is the 1993 sequel to the classic driving game, Out Run. It is specifically designed for two player head-to-head gameplay, which is why the game renders two screens – side by side – by default. For the purposes of this article, though, I’m showing just a single screen, because it looks better.
With enough machines, OutRunners could accommodate up to eight players racing against each other at the same time. An online version of the game was also released, allowing players to race each other over the internet, which was revolutionary for the time.
Checkered Flag, Atari Lynx
Checkered Flag is a “formula-style” racing game, initially released by Atari Corporation for the Atari Lynx in 1991.
Stunt Car Racer, Atari 8-bit
Geoff Crammond‘s classic Stunt Car Racer was converted to Atari 8-bit systems by homebrew coders Fandal and Irgendwer in 2018. And it is an excellent port that plays identically to the C64 version it is based upon.
Road Rash, 3DO
Road Rash on the 3DO is a remake of the classic Megadrive/Genesis motorbike racing game. It first came out in 1994 through Electronic Arts and was developed by Monkey Do Productions in association with The EA Advanced Technology Group.
Croc 2, PlayStation
First released for the Sony PlayStation in 1999, and is the sequel to the smash hit Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, Croc 2 is a 3D platform game developed by Argonaut Software and published by Fox Interactive.
Turbo Out Run, FM Towns
A conversion of the Sega arcade racer, Turbo Out Run was ported to the FM Towns by CRI (CSK Research Institute) and published by Sega in 1989. In truth, it’s not a particularly good version of the arcade game as it lacks a number of features, doesn’t look as good, and doesn’t play as well as its parent.
Turbo Out Run, Arcade
Turbo Out Run (sometimes stylised as “Turbo OutRun“) is the sequel to the classic Sega arcade game, Out Run, and was first released in 1989. The game could be purchased as both a dedicated cabinet and also as an upgrade kit for existing Out Run machines.
