More Outrun – latest screens from SP version

Special Tours direct grabs shown

Posted by Staff
SPOnG feels somewhat guilty today as it’s way past lunchtime and we haven’t published a single piece of news about Outrun 2, clearly unacceptable.

However, it seems we can rectify this situation, bringing you the latest grabs from the all new coin-operated version of Outrun 2: Special Tours. Oh yeah!

The game comprises fifteen completely reworked levels, all of which push the Xbox-based Chihiro board to its limits. Special Tours is a massive step up in visual quality from the original, perhaps boasting the most lavish incidental graphicalness ever seen in an arcade racer.

SP also boasts a fresh selection of cars, everything from Sumo’s snazzy Xbox offering in fact, as well as a selection of new music, adjustable volume, a new interface and full Internet ranking for Outrun, Time Attack and Heart Attack modes.

And in Europe, will be housed in a large and rather impressive yellow deluxe cabinet.

The X-box based Chihiro board.

Would that not be better described as the "PC in an arcade cabinet"?

What would kick-ass would be if they put MAME in there so we could play Star Wars and Battlezone again!

Wow - do you actually think X-box is as good as a PC ? That is a compliment!!!

You mean like Taito's Type X, and GC teched Triforce cabinets. Surely not. LOL

This is the future of arcade systems. PC based stuff.
