I remember seeing this movie called Donnie Darko (someone made an article about it if you want to see it: [[Donnie Darko]]) and in the movie he was playing this game. Donnie was at an arcade with the girl he likes and the he was playing the game and she was talking about...well I don't know what she was talking but the scene ended with Donnie "crashing" the car on the side and being all right, meaning he meant to do it .I just wanted to point that out and hope someone would add this to this article under the trivia section. I would put it in but I'm still new to this Wiki stuff. Not to mention I only watched the movie once so if anyone out there can elaborate that, Ive be thankful.

Oh and I dont understand that Summary thing so plz dont be angry for me not filling it.

[edit] A the heck with it

I played around with Wiki so I decided to just go ahead and input the Donnie Darko reference, where he is playing the game but I only saw the film once cuz it belonged to someone else and I had to return it. Anyways anyone who saw the film, feel free to elaborate it more. - TKGB

I checked out that Donnie Darko movie again and couldn't find a scene with OutRun in it, there isn't even any scene in an arcade. BdR

Boys/men are not brunette, boys/men are brown haired. Ladies are brunette.

Well, first of all, the word was initially "brunet", which, at least in the original French language, is the masculine of "brunette", so there's someone out there who changed it, and who doesn't get the difference between "brunet" and "brunette". 2004-12-29T22:45Z 17:30, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pricing

It talks about pence, it should make reference to at least the US dollar, and Yen if anyone knows.

[edit] Routes

Some players consider that the easiest route was that leading to Goal A (i.e. by turning left at each fork), and the most challenging was that leading to Goal E.

I removed this and it's been put back again. I removed it because I think that what some players consider easy or hard is pretty irrelevent, and it certainly fall foul of NPOV. I'll leave it alone for now, but I'll remove it again unless anyone comes up with a good defence for it...

Removed again.

The game itself labels the upper routes as "easy" and the lower as "hard" on the map screen. Tim (Xevious) 16:56, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Oops, that's OutRun 2 ... Tim (Xevious) 16:59, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PSP Version

I removed the Sony PSP from the release list. The only OutRun game to hit the PSP is OutRun 2006 Coast 2 Coast, which is not a port of OutRun. If it was released on the PSP as part of another game, then edit it back in under the appropriate section with the name of the game it is featured in.

[edit] Route Names

My feeling is that some of the facts stated below the route plan could be construed as original research. I don't think it is appropriate to explain what can be deduced from the route plan. I would particularly question the "most time efficient route" (and this is mainly why I added the template) - on what basis was this worked out and how is it verifiable? Perhaps these routes are the shortest, but they may not be the easiest. Halsteadk 18:10, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sumo Digital involvement

Sumo Digital worked on the original? I thought they were only involved with the development of OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast. Clarify, please. Alex (talk) 07:24, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
