Outrun 2 SP - Real Arcade Twin Cabinet 2P Versus Gameplay (Chris Vs Neil)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- A 2 Player versus game on a real Outrun 2 SP twin cabinet (even though it looks like a regular Outrun 2 cabinet). This was recorded at #NQ64 arcade bar in Bristol. I'm on camera duty this time around.
If you follow my RUclips channel at all you'll probably know that I'm a bit of an Outrun 2 obsessive. I absolutely bloody love the game and this was my first ever time actually properly playing Outrun 2 SP in the arcade. I was quite surprised to find out that the arcade version of OR2SP had a couple of extra features compared to the home versions, that I was previously unaware of, like the ability to play a special versus track, which mixes and matches some of the regular Outrun 2 courses with some of the ones from SP in a slightly different order. There's also some small animated representations of your cars in the top right of the screen that react to your position in a versus game. Also, your girlfriend Clarissa pops up from time-to-time at the bottom of the screen with little comments about how you're driving and what route you're taking, something that doesn't happen in the home version. Interesting that I'm still finding out new stuff about this game, all these years later....
What was really great here as well, is that the last time I encountered a real-life Outrun 2 cabinet, which was also in another Bristol City Center Arcade, the steering was kind of messed up on both sides of the twin cabinet and also it had its CRTs swapped out for wrong aspect ratio LCD monitors which meant all the cars were stretched out into 16:9 when they should be 4:3. Fortunately, this was not the case here all four of the cabinets had proper CRT screens that were displaying in the right aspect ratio although the colors were a little bit off on the one that Neil was using (on the right) in this video. Not only that, the wheels worked properly here and had working force feedback too. Amazing!

Sega games age like fine wine. Always a joy to play & never get old. 😎👌
Definitely!
Spent my birthday in NQ64 Soho, some good times. It's got a deluxe Daytona USA 2 cabinet.
Oooooooh, might have to pay that one a visit sometime, I haven't seen a Daytona 2 cab in real life in probably well over 20 years.
@@MrThunderwing just checked the videos I filmed back then, it's actually a 2-Player Power Edition cabinet!
@@joaopires1761 Nice!
I ❤ NQ64. Their Shoreditch, London venue is enormous! (And has 2x twin Outrun 2SP cabs)
there's an arcade in the UK that I occasionally visit from time to time, and the last time I went there, they had both outrun 2 SP and SPDX on different floors!
Awesome, where was that?

I hope SEGA announces a new Outrun. If Outrun comes back, it will be a surviving 80s racing game along with Test Drive. I think OutRun have a high chance of coming out differently than Ridge Racer. At British Racing Greats 2023, there was Outrun 2 from SEGA and Sumo Digital.
A new OutRun (and Daytona) are the 2 thing's I'd most like to see from Sega. The recent announcement trailer where they announced they're reviving a load of old IPs (Golden Axe, Shinobi, Streets of Rage, Crazy Taxi & JSR) mentioned there would be more to come, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed 🤞
Have you heard that Sega wants to revive old racing games?
Well, I've heard about some of their other old IPs getting revived (including Crazy Taxi), but nothing specific about any other racing titles.
Outrun 2 probably won’t ever be rereleased due to the Ferrari licensing issue.
@@DiscoMouse They could make an OutRun 3 with non licensed cars though (they just changed the look of the Testarossa around a bit for the Switch and 3DS games).
@@MrThunderwing i can’t imagine that happening unless someone at Sega is still passionate about Outrun
@@DiscoMouse Here's hoping there is!
Nice video. Do you have any footage of the "Super Deluxe" Outrun 2 arcade cabinets that have motion seats? The cabinet is shaped like an actual car, and shakes and moves as you drive in the game.
No, I'm yet to ever encounter one of those in the wild, I'd really love to play on one and get some footage. I'm aware of a few UK arcades that do have them, but they're both about a 6 hour drive away from where I live.
@@MrThunderwing - Sure. I completely understand. It's sounds far away, and takes a lot of time to reach.
However, let me respectfully say that these deluxe arcade machines won't always be around. An arcade near me used to have a Galaxian3 and a Ridge Racer Full Scale. These were mega huge arcade machines. I moved away for a few years, and when I returned the arcade was gone. I heard the machines were scrapped and thrown out. It saddens me the arcade disappeared, and I can't play those machines anymore.
So if you can, maybe consider planning a trip one day to visit the city and play thar Deluxe machine? Take a few days off from work and plan a mini-vacation. Who knows how long an arcade will still have it?
This is just my polite suggestion! You are free to do what you want. Have a nice day!
@@TheBigExclusive I've been mulling over the thought of a trip for awhile now, but so far the 'too far' part of my brain's winning. I can't really justify the travel time, petrol cost and general expenditure a trip like this would rack up, not when, for the same money, I could jump on a plane and be somewhere sunny with a pool and a nice cool beverage in my hand in half that time...
When i play outrun 2 on teknoparrot on the crt (tri sync 640x480p) it looks like it should be 16:9 being squished to 4:3. Is the teknoparrot version different to this one or am I wrong?
It is. the Teknoparrot version is OutRun 2 SP SDX which ran on the Sega Lindbergh arcade board. This is Outrun 2 SP which ran on the Sega Chihiro board, the precursor to the Lindbergh. Content-wise, the two games are pretty much the same (other than a few bits I picked up on when playing this version that I talk about in the video description), but the big difference was the new gigantic cabinets the SP DX and SDX versions came in. I've read that the Lindbergh version had a higher resolution, I don't know if it was natively 16:9 though.
The cars in 4:3 mode in teknoparrot SDX version are much slimmer than this video. It plays fine, even link play works and I absolutely love it but after seeing this video on how it should look I'll have to research chihiro emulation now and see if this version works.
@@MickMacklerack It doesn't. You can play a beta version of the original Chihiro Outrun 2 in 2 different Xbox emulators

but currently there's no actual way of playing final Chihiro OR2 and OR2 SP at home (other than owning the cabinets)
I was off down the rabbit hole for an hour researching. You come up quite bit on this topic 😂 The definitive answer is teknoparrot OR2SPDX (lindbergh) on a 4:3 crt is going to look squished as there is no 4:3 option for the Lindbergh version since all assets were rescaled/adjusted for a 16:10 aspect ratio (not 16:9).
I'll try the beta chihiro version and the pc version and wait patiently for improvements to xemu and cxbx-reloaded
Cheers!
@@MickMacklerack Yeah, the PC version is probably the definitive version to play if you want to keep it in 4:3 (if you play it in 16:9 it actually stretches all the HUD elements out of shape). You can still do LAN play, but the network is always a bit buggy. If you use the PC game don't forget to fix the bloom issue:
