Please note the latest version, OutRun: Enhanced Edition v2 is now available from here. I will leave this old version up for reference only. Please consider it no longer supported. 

This pack contains a collection of enhancements to original SEGA arcade games from the 1980s. It is intended to be used to reprogram the original hardware. Please note that no portions of the original game code are included in this package.

This software is free to use, but not to be sold or used in a commercial product or activity (i.e. do not sell programmed EPROMs on eBay!) For full details please read the license included in the package. 



The following titles are supported:
