Battle Out Run on the Sega Master System is basically OutRun’s scrappy little cousin—same high-speed arcade racing vibe, but with a slightly jankier charm. You’ve got the same winding roads, the same cheesy synth soundtrack, and that classic 80s aesthetic, but everything feels a bit chunkier. The controls take a minute to get used to—don’t be surprised if you fishtail into a palm tree on your first few tries.

It’s got that weird Euro flavor too, like someone took the original and ran it through a Sega Master System filter. Not bad, just… different. If you’re into retro racing games, it’s a fun little time capsule, especially if you’ve already burned through the more polished versions.
