Y'know I had not realized in spite of the name of the channel, that the history of Out Run had not really been discussed yet. Another fantastic video, please never stop.
Thanks so much! And yeah it was about time for a new Out Run video, my previous one is already over 10 years old I think :)
You always provide such amazing production quality, narrations, editing and storytelling. I love these immersive history lessons. So glad I discovered this page on YT.
What an odd way to say it. You're on RUclips right now, that's a little redundant to say it.
@@jarlwhiterun7478 Thanks for taking the time to point out the redundancy in my compliment. You must be a thrill to talk to at parties.
@@amizany415 Great job, Magellan. What's next?
It’s AI narration dude. What do you expect.
@@gatsbyexpresscheck the description- it's been narrated by the same real person for years!
oh boy, I wish this video never ended. The playlist I use to work is a mix of: Hang On, Space Harries, Outrun and After Burner, I really like SEGA's golden age.
Sega was an arcade hit factory and these were my favorite games ever. This was pure bliss to me!!
Even when Hang On was surpassed by more advanced games, I still wanted to get on that bike. Good times!
It has become a classic, that's for sure :)
Me too I was to young and to small to do so
@@djangosouthwest6043 me too, i couldn't really play it at all but i remember my dad lifting me on it and standing by to watch that i didnt fall, so i could pretend to play during the attract mode. Sadly when i was old enough to play, they had replaced the bike model for the upright one.
@@pablozambrano16 by the time I got older the arcade place already shut sucks
Words can´t describe the fun i´ve had with SEGA´s arcade games. The graphics, gameplay and foremost the soundtracks are unforgettable.
Yep, I smashed the like button like it was 1987 again. Those emerging times were magical, because they had to work with little resources and still managed to crank out all these hits that we still talk about 36 years later.
But there was no like button in 1987.
When the world needed him most he came back with a blast! Thanks Strafefox for your amazing quality. Every video is a masterpiece. Which is no surprise after telling me how many months you've been working on one of these!
I don't care how long these take, I'll wait what it takes each time until they come out to enjoy. 👏👏👏
Outrun is in my top 10 greatest games of all time. I still remember the first time I played it. The game stuck with me so I was excited when they released an arcade perfect version for the Saturn. I still listen to the soundtrack often to this day.
OutRun is an absolute work of art, from music to feel to art, and this retrospective absolutely lives up to it- and even covers two other classics to boot!
Wonderful stuff, love the 3D models here.
In my opinion, this is the most underrated channel on youtube
🧐
Cringe hyperbole
Hello fellow RUclips comment section. I would like to let you know that this is just my opinion. Regardless if you disagree, I stand by my opinion that @strafefox is the most underrated channel on RUclips. Thank you so much for your understanding and have a nice life. ☺️
@@Sihbus thank you for sharing your narrow scope multiple times 😘
💯💯💯
I haven't stopped playing any of these games as of 2023 and don't plan to. Awesome video as always, about one of my favorite periods of videogaming, the wonders of scaling in SEGA arcades.
I was a kid when I played these games. What a real special time that was, no internet to spoil, you'd walk down the street and new games were there.
Splash Wave doesn't upload often, but it's a great day when they do. Another banger of an episode - and one about some of my all-time favorites. 😀
Once again the production value of this seemingly surpasses any big-name TV release. Man, this is so good. I love these documentaries. Keep it up!
Everyone should like and share this guy's videos. He deserves more attention for how much work he puts into this content. (especially the Castlevania documentary WOW)
I've said it many times before, and I will happily say it again, the production quality of the videos on this channel is absolutely incredible. Top drawer content, amazing.
I've never wanted a day to end as quickly as today. So, that I may get home and watch this. I'm so excited 🥰
Ha! I was thinking the same thing! 😂
I really liked how you tied all of those games together. I remember playing Outrun on Sega as a kid and it’s soundtrack still inspires me to this day.
An masterclass on video production, there simply isn't an channel that does it best then the splash Wave Team.
Such an incredible time at the Arcades, and why I'm a Sega kid for life :D
Awesome! A history lesson about Segas groundbreaking arcade classics for the ages.
The authors of this channel constantly push out amazing content! The production quality is off the charts! with writing and narration to match! The research involved is also immaculate. It seems each video takes roughly 4 months to develop but I much rather prefer this level of quality and research instead of the rushed weekly videos that other channels chase to try to match the algorithm. It's just so nice to see a video that isn't filled with inaccurate research, lack of sources, grammatical errors, and more. Keep it up, your content is absolutely top tier!
Completely agree. Produce great videos at their own pace rather than chase a deadline, (which gamers know destroys good games) and that makes me look forward to new videos than it does on other channels that churn them out where I pick and choose what I watch.
I know what I'm watching the second I'm off work! Thank you for such incredible content. I hope the algorithm gets this to everyone as it deserves.
Some days, the right video finds you at the right time. Another day in paradise with this channel.
Another excellent video from you. Incredibly polished, no filler, no annoying mid-video sponsors, just good quality, well researched content. Thanks again.
No repetition of points which seem to be common in RUclips videos as well as mentioning things and then saying 'we'll come to that later'.
It feels like the love for classic gaming is still there from the makers and that's probably due to them but having to rush out so many videos.
It's like Christmas whenever a new Strafefox video comes out! ❤
Yu Suzuki and his team deserve nothing but respect. These games were part of my childhood.
Marvelous production! I am always amazed by your team's dedication in making these "documentaries". For me, your channel is one of the heavyweights of top-tier RUclips channels with high production value. Really worth the wait!
Those arcade cabinet renders were crazy good!
I love the use of Virtua Cop music in this video, haha. Great stuff as always! OutRun in particular is one of my all-time favs. I remember seeing the motorized cabinet of it and Hang-On in arcades and was always impressed by how immersive they made the games feel. I'd love to try a real moving cabinet again.
Thanks so much! and ha! whenever I need to fill a music-gab in a video I can always count on Virtua Cop and Bat Man Returns ;)
Just finished the new Retronauts episode on Outrun! This was the perfect accompaniment. Great work.
wow those games are pretty impressive for 1985. I tend to forgot how far ahead the arcades were compared to home consoles in those days
Outrun is my favorite arcade driving game. It's perfect in every way, and was super avant-garde. Yu Suzuki and the SEGA team did some amazing wizardry to pull this one off. Salute. You guys will remain as legends in the classic arcade gaming fraternity, and no doubt inspired many a modern arcade racing game!
always a video with extreme quality, for sure you love what you do! really enjoy the way the channel tells the story behind the games, it really makes you aprecciate all the things that happened so we can enjoys these games! man, i miss SEGA.. they had so much personallity, you could always tell that a games was a SEGA game, i miss those days...
You know it's going to be a good Money when there's a new strafefox video! Fantastic job as always.
Thank you for this beautifully edited, well documented, and highly entertaining video. What a great channel!
I've been a huge fan for years, every time I see there's a new video, it just takes priority one.
Pacing, sources, script, visuals and music choices are so, so well made.
When the documentary took on those beautiful 3D visuals, mimicking Outrun's aesthetics, the video just hit perfection!! 💯✨
Ah, it's always a happy day in which there is a new Splash Wave video! Also refreshing to see parts of the gaming history that's not always told.
You guys deserve much more views, subs, everything.
What a time to be alive and witnessing all this gaming history as it happened! I couldn't ask for a better timeline! Amazing content as always!
Excellent production as always. Thank you for your service!
Another outstanding video! I love learning about all the work that went into these classic games from my childhood. Thank you for continuing to make some of my favourite content out there and for all your hard work.
Another absolute banger video. I love getting to learn about the development of these games, and your production values are amazing. Love it!
Best content on RUclips by far. You succeed every time in making some of the most compelling content on the internet. Please keep up the great work!
When someone tells me that the content on RUclips is garbage, I show them this channel. It is always worth waiting a few months to see quality content.
I remember playing Outrun and Hang On as a kid, maybe as an 8 year old, at Chuck E Cheese- those games were 'better' than the other arcade games from the time. And the fact you got to ride on a life size racing motorcycle was pretty mind blowing. And who could forget the full size Afterburner? Those games had 'staying' power as well, as some arcades kept them around well into the early part of the final stage Arcade renovation/refurbishment era from the early 90s which deleted the 'look' of the 70s and 80s arcades for a cleaner, "family fun" center look. Thanks for the outstanding historical recap and video!
Love your videos as always! Well done. Suzuki's games are absolut classics and his name will be remembered for ages.
The production, presentation and overall esthetics made for a phenomenal video. Thanks for the highly entertaining and inspiring video. Awesome job.
Another master piece. You should considering selling those videos as a Blue ray collection for collectors or even schools. Thank you
For collectors, yes. Schools? Lol no. Schools are no longer places for education.
@@hieioni3354 maybe in Murica. Children here learn
@@saschaberger3212 Where is here?
@@hieioni3354 not murica
@@saschaberger3212 Don't want to tell huh? That's fine.
Yet again another master piece. Thanks for always raise the bar in every new episode. 😊
Great production as always. Excellent gaming documentary.
Thanks so much!
Really loved the deluxe cabinets, those really took the experience above anything else.
Yet another awesome video! Always love learning more about these games.
Awesome work.. Sega in the eighties was an absolute beast
I miss this period, thank you for reminding me of it
Time and time again you guys deliver a top rate production. Absolutely fantastic.
I’m glad I found this channel years ago i appreciate your work documenting the making of the games we love 💯🙏🏾
As soon as I press play on any video of this channel I'm glued to the screen until the end, even when it's about games that I never cared about.
The visuals on this channel are absolutely amazing.
I miss this series, it's so fun to watch.
Finally.. your channel's name is honoured! What an absolute pleasure it is to watch your videos! As the other commenter said here.. indeed please never stop. :)
Original Outrun arcade machine i got to try out during my Japan trip in 2018 and enjoyed the experience.
Super-Hang on, Space Harrier and Outrun will always be great timeless classics.
Bravo! As someone who's developed 3 mobile games, I enjoy discovering other creators' stories.
I had intended to file this under my watch later list. Then I blinked, and you were wrapping up with the outro. I think it’s safe to say I’m hooked on your style and presentation.
Hang On and Out Run are fun to play. Looking forward to the next one.
Sega arcade games seem to carry this aura of brightly colored confidence but is intoxicating. Few companies could pull off what they did in the 80s.
I wonder what Sega could've become if they didn't make so many stupid business choices. Nothing better than playing a Sega arcade game
@@ncapone87 And it's a little sad because how many of these small town hero stories are left in the industry today? Now it's all board rooms and investors. Product placements and the cheapest development teams. There is still incredible titles but I'm struggling to find the heart you see in the games Strafefox covers.
Great video as always! I haven’t always commented, but the quality as a whole is hard for other creators to match with the citations and real footage from development for example. I still can’t believe there aren’t more subs, I’ve told everyone I know.
An absolutely outstanding and informative episode -- yet again. A suitable treatment to some of the greatest and most important 80s videogames ever. This channel should put certain other high profile channels out there (naming no names, ahem) to shame.
i wish you uploaded more often but i understand quality needs time. THE BEST game history channel on entire youtube. i love you.
I never noticed that that outrun car sprites are just mirrored when the car turns left (mirrored right turn - see the logo and license plate)! Now I can never unsee it again! 😳
Fantastic review of some of Sega's arcade classics under Yu Suzuki. Fantastic job everyone!!!!!!!
Amazing showcase of Sega classics
Wow...this was absolutely incredible Splash Wave. I remember the very first time I saw Space Harrier in the arcades...I was absolutely mesmerized (1987, I think). I remember wanting so badly to have that experience on my Master System or Nes...
When the Sega Genesis launched in 1989 with Space Harrier II...I knew I had to have it. I got my Genesis in 1989 with Altered Beast, Ghouls n' Ghosts, and Space Harrier II. While Space Harrier for the Genesis didn't quite reach the arcade version it was decent for the year. At least it made me good enough to beat Space Harrier in the arcades with 2 credits. Great content!
What a nice video. The information, the visuals, the vibes, I love everything in this videos. I have a lot of nostalgia for the Sega super scalers and OutRun is one of my favorite games of all time.
Nice job, Splash Wave. My favorite OutRun song and my favorite show on RUclips.
I have splash wave. It just sounds in the wrong key to me.
[Coury] Amazing video. Space Harrier is my favorite game of all time and its impact on me cannot be overstated.
Please everybody , Like everything this channel is posting.
High quality videos/channels like these need more attention or they will slowly disapear and all that will be left are high budget/low quality channels that put in 10% of the energy,time and love Strafefox is putting in his content.
You always put so much time and care into these videos, thanks!
It's actually a crime that you don't have more views.
SPLASH WAVE IS AT IT AGAIN AND ON ONE OF MY FAVORITE GAMES! WAITED A LONG TIME AS IT'S IN YOUR NAME OF YOUR CHANNEL ❤
Just found your channel… amazing! At first I thought you were reuploading shows that had aired on cable tv or something with this kind of budget and structure. I’m blown away by the quality of these video game documentaries!
AHH, when you drop a video it's just a full-blown documentary ecstasy, and this continually reminds me why I love video games so much!
.
Plus, talking about one of my all-time favourite shooter games, Space Harrier?!
.
Spoiling us with great docs, thank you once again!

Liked before watching.
Your uploads take months, but it's always appreciated.
Now, I'll actually watch the video.
These videos are so good and useful, they should be preserved for historical purposes.
Being born in the late 80's in a country without a lot of arcades I always felt like a missed out on the arcade phenomena of the 80's and 90's, like Hang On and Space Harrier. But I remember the first time I played Shenmue on the Dreamcast I was really exited to get a chance to play them at least in a simulated version of those japanese arcades I had read so much about. It was a cool experiance. Love the video as always, fantastic work!
Damn, Strafe- you really know how to make my day better!
Miss you bro!
Recently, life has been difficult; it's about time your video arrived.
Thanks! and I hope things will get better for you in the near future!
The most underrated gaming channel on RUclips.
The Yakuza arcade trio! I'm sure 20% of my Yakuza 0 playthrough was spent on these
I see a new video from Splash Wave, I click and like the video. Been a minute since the last one, was pleasantly surprised to you you pop up on my feed! I always catch myself rewatching your older content.
Top tier info, animation, editing and narration as always. Thank you.
I can’t hit the like button enough, StrafeFox you are the best retro RUclipsr bar none. Amazing video and incredible production values as always, your graphics and narrative flow are off the charts, thank you!
Another masterpiece, thank you!!!
When a video of yours comes out, I stop all tasks just to watch. Never stop!
These stories are always so inspiring! I had no idea Space Harrier was supposed to be the original After Burner.
Can we appreciate how his last name was Suzuki
You guys could talk about how people grew potatoes in Argentina in 1945 and the video will be amazing anyway. This is one of the best RUclips channels.
Was about to sleep for work tonight but then got blessed with this video
This rules. I always love your videos, the amount of care and attention you put into them is seriously impressive
I often put this on the switch version n just listen to that fantastic music in the background. Great video, thank you !
