The PC ENGINE has a 16-Bit GPU! Only the CPU is 8-Bit! It's like the Dreamcast, where many say it is a 128-Bit-System, but the CPU is "just" 64-Bit, like in the N64! Only the GPU in the Dreamcast is 128-Bit!
The pc-engine actually has dual 16-bit graphic processors. And the cpu though 8 bit was twice as fast as the snes and almost as fast as the genesis. With dedicated instructions and a 21 bit data bus it was as powerful as the snes and genesis. It was definitely part of the 16 bit Era and definitely not 8 bit.
@@naofumiosato3911 I agree except only thing strange about the genesis version is that the stages are in a different order and the engine has no sound.
@@naofumiosato3911 - In a lot of respects, yes but in some respects, no. The Mega Drive version has a higher resolution, and is faster with more going on. The Testarossa is wider and more accurate. Furthermore, the Megadrive version scales sprites markedly better, there's more car variety, it handles the fork in routes more effectively and has superior collision detection. Soundtrack is also a LOT BETTER. This is all largely down to the Megadrive being simply more powerful. However, despite the limitations of the PC Engine hardware, it's artistically more pleasing and closer to the arcade particularly with regards to colours of each stage. The Testarossa is also much closer to the Rosso Corsa Ferrari colour and Toni is right to suggest that the colours are odd in the Megadrive version. They're simply too dark. Moreover, the Megadrive version has the Japan order concerning stages whereas the PC Engine version has the stages ordered the same as the international version and the one I remember from my childhood. I prefer the international order tbh. it's fairly close for me. They're definitely the 2 best home conversions by a considerable distance prior to the Saturn and XBox (enter a code on Outrun II) versions though. An honourable mention however must also go to the Master System port which was immense considering the hardware limitations.
24 Mars 2024, je viens de jouer à outrun sur megadrive/genesis. Je remarque qu'il n'y a pas les piliers de pierre au-dessus de la route, Et, qu'il n'y a pas le bruit du moteur de la ferrari. Je suis allé dans les options, j'ai désactivé la musique, et ensuite en jeu, Il n'y avait aucun bruit... !!! .... Sur cette version pc engine, Il y a tous les sprites / graphismes de l'arcade, et aussi il y a le son du moteur. (OK il n'est pas super agréable mais il est là.) Question: Je suppose que sur pc engine, si on désactive la musique, on peut jouer au jeu en entendant seulement le moteur de la ferrari?
It's kinda strange the SNES never got a port of this game, given it was on almost every other system of the time including a bunch of 8-bit platforms. I'm thinking it could have done a pretty great port of this title.
@@jasonlee7816 The CPU definitely wasn't the reason. Even the likes of C64, ZX Spectrum, MSX and Master System got ports. And games like Top Gear 2, Nigel Mansell's World Championship Racing, and F-Zero [which runs at 60fps in SlowRom at only 2.68 MHz] show the SNES was more than up to the task of creating great fast-paced racing games. Maybe they just thought the game was too old at that point to put on SNES or something. But I still think it would have been cool to see it there.
@@inceptionalyes it seems Nintendo didn’t want to pay Ferrari + Sega a license fee or they thought it was too old putting 1986 Out Run arcade game on a 1990, 1991, 1992 SNES console
@@jasonlee7816 Yeah, possibly that could be the reason. Edit: Also, a little observation: It seems that Out Run on PC Engine is running everything on-screen staggered at 20fps other than the road lines that update at around 30fps on average, whereas Nigel Mansell on SNES is updating everything on-screen at once at a solid 30fps. So, it's a good example of SNES there running a more complex racing game at a smoother frame rate, which again just shows that the CPU is more than capable of doing games like this full justice. Just something I noticed there on some further study.
Good port considering when it came out. PC Engine had some good arcade ports that beat Snes and Genesis but this port Genesis wins its very close battle.
very cool " is this on C64 ? sure looks like it , i remember playing a game similar to this one, or it was the exact same game if i'm not mistaken, as a little kid at my girl cousin's C64 way back in the late '80s. the car here looks to be a Ferrari Testarossa, albeit a convertible, which in reality never existed actually, there never was a Testarossa convertible, also what's funny is how the car doesn't lose speed in corners when drifting. ahh good times man ! long live the 80s & 90s !!! :)

このOUTRUNはスプライト画像がアーケード版に近いから好き。
当時、少年だった自分はアーケード版との違いより、マークIII版とどこまで違うかとしかみてなかったな。グラフィックとアップダウンの表現だけで感動して満足してた。
8bitマシンとしては､本家セガのMarkⅢよりも移植度が高かった｡
I love this version! What I would have given to have owned a PC Engine back in the day. Instead I was stuck with the terrible Amiga version! :-(
Amiga Out Run is (was) an
inferior (lazy) Atari ST port
7:29 the engine harmonizes with the music
One of the better ports, i remember wanting this and Double dragon.
これ当時よく遊んだなぁ…今見るとゲーセンでは迫力のあったテスタロッサの幅が狭くて普通の乗用車みたいだ
大人になったらこんな車でドライブしてると思ってた、、、
What I love most is how the horse on the back turns left or right depending on your own direction... :D :D
It was like that in the arcade too.
Yes, you can get a version of OutRun on the C64, and pretty much every other console and computer ever made. It was quite popular!
Best 8-bit version of Outrun ever (apart from the slightly whiney engine sound).

Graphic wise, its 16-bits. But the system its an hybrid between 8 and 16 bits...
@@Exlee-yp7ue I wonder why the fuck they decided to use an 8-bit CPU

Magical sound shower sounds great on the pc-engine
This must be the best home port until the sega Saturn came along
Megadrive version is way better than the PCE version.PC Engine version is only 4mb, Megadrive version is 8mb.

What a system, luckily i own PC Engine Duo R.
Wonderful!!!
I like all of the Sega ports of these super scalers games more on the pce/tg16 than the Genesis...

i believe the reason SNES did not get Out Run port (version) it had a 3.55 or 3.58 MHz CPU
i think it could do a great port then it is played at a slow pace

great game!

Is the Pc Engine then even able to perform hardware sprite scrolling?
I don't think so but it does a good job pretending.
U can see when the cars moving slow there's lots of pop and choppy. But when moving fast it looks decent
no it can't
@chuumpass its the TG-16
Prequel to Ridge Racer..
Nice
Its the turbo Graphx 16 in the States.

Certainly a cheat in the programming as i also notice the license plate backwards too!
PCエンジン版はスタート時に出てくる2車線が再現できていなかったり、海辺がなかったりでかなりがっかりした記憶がある。当時はそれだけのことでもがっかりするもんです。後にメガドライブ版が良く出来ていたのでそちらの方をやってましたが。
Nah... Mega drive was.. only problem with Mega drive was it lacked a engine sound..
MD version has strange graphics.
That's what i meant, OutRun is MASTER compared to RR..
Out run: Saturn>Mega Drive>Pc Engine
At least, the PC Engine version is better than the DOS and other ports..
@@retroboy-fh1jiPC Engine/TurboGrafx didn’t get a port (version) of Turbo Out Run
Almost as good as the game gear version
Ruined by the fly-caught-in-a-curtain engine noise

You can actually turn it off in the options.
