Thunderblade is probably one of the lesser loved games during the SEGA Super Scaler era but M2 have done a great job of the game and during the end credits there are many homages to classic SEGA games and characters.
OutRun is featured several times and below are a few fun OutRun clips to share.
Congratulations!

Ray picked up an Australian LAI OutRun cabinet this year when he saw it on Gumtree going cheap. Here’s some pictures of the condition when he picked it up.
As you can see the whole machine needed a good clean, the side art was shot and some of the features like the screen bezel and steering wheel emblem need work.
Several months later Ray sent me these photo and I was amazed at the transformation.
It’s great to see a good clean upright LAI with the red side panels , front coin and pedal surround variation, there’s definitely not many left around.
Above is the latest release of Retro Gamer magazine from the U.K.
It features OutRun’s Ferrari Testarossa and has a feature on the evolution of arcade racing games.
Hopefully I will get hold of the magazine and share the contents of the feature. If you can’t wait go buy the magazine now!
Some of you guys have asked for a “How to Build” or “Instruction” for the LEGO OutRun project.
I’ve put together a video on YouTube showing the journey of how it all came together.
Check it out below
If you are creative join me and also submit an entry for SEGABITS Summer of SEGA Competition.
It’s official and its coming as soon first quarter 2014…’OutRun 3′ is in the making and is heading to the arcades as early as first quarter 2014.
Looking at the screenshot released by SEGA it looks like we will have the option for female characters to take the lead and drive.
As usual it’s blue sky’s, palm trees, clear blue water and red Ferrari’s that give the game that SEGA look and feel straight away.
From the release picture OutRun 3 is looking pretty awesome already. I can’t wait to get some more info..let hope it will also make its way to the next gen consoles!
