About This Game
The Genesis version maintains the arcade's signature scaling road effect while adding new music tracks and an exclusive 'Turbo' mode that increases top speeds.
Players must manage both time and damage as they race through iconic American locations from Miami to Seattle, with branching paths offering replay value.
With its pseudo-3D visuals, pumping FM synth soundtrack, and addictive time attack gameplay, Turbo Outrun became a showcase title for the Genesis' technical capabilities.
