Out Run: Early Cabinet Screenshot

Here's an early photo of an OutRun Deluxe cabinet. [source]

If you look closely at the screen, you will spot that there are a number of differences from the released version. This must be running an early prototype version of the game.

• Timer is using the font from Space Harrier. This font is in the OutRun ROMs but not used anywhere. Now we know it was used in an earlier prototype version.
• Sign art is different in a number of places from release.
• Debug information above speed on left hand side.
• No rev counter
• kp/h graphic is different
• No route map

This Space Harrier also has some differences from the released version:

• A step built into the base at the front which was later removed.
• The side art is different; the underbelly of the dragon and his hair are orange on this version and yellow on the final art.
• Different rear art, that also extends beneath the seat
• Different instruction plate
• Different 'Warning!' stickers on the base
• Sega logo size on the rear panel and title screen
• Missing the sliver/red bezel stickers
