It is the 30th anniversary of the world-wide release of Outrun.
Aside from Winning multiple awards (including the 1987 Golden Joystick awards for both best arcade game and best overall game,) the arcade cabinets outsold immediate predecessor Hang-On at a ratio of more than 2:1 while the home ports shifted hundreds of thousands of copies in the run up to Christmas. Outrun was a big deal.
Was Outrun your favorite racing game? Remember the first time you played it?
