Battle Out Run mixes chase race and armed car combat on Master System. The hybrid concept adds variety compared to classic racers but the small screen limits combat legibility. Honest for aggressive racing fans, original in the 8 bit catalogue.

"Anecdotal"
Spun off from the arcade spirit of OutRun, the music strings together rousing themes and car-radio road rhythms, charging every chase. The sparkling melodies embrace the speed and frenzy of the pursuits with infectious energy. This sonic punch, cut for letting off steam, remains an intact retro pleasure.

"From the very first seconds"
Both a race against the clock and a manhunt, this OutRun spin-off adds weapons and muscular pursuits to pure speed. Charge, ram, catch your target: the action revs up without let-up over upbeat music. Rawer than the original, it weds the thrill of driving and the excitement of the chase in one exhilarating rush.
