Talk:Out Run

message: The last bullet entry about some song Magical Sound Shower seems to have nothing to do with Out Run. I'd have someone figure out how it got on the page.

message: 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

The donnie darko scene is a deleted scene that can be viewed in the extra features. Will

message: 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)
WTF ? In french we say "brun" or "brune", "brunette" is purely english and I've never seen "brunet" ever.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.165.19.210 (talk) 18:52, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

message: 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.

thread_title:  Routes 

message: 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)

message: Great, some bot ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:XLinkBot ) took out the link to the YouTube clip of that drunk driving PSA and now its gone back to saying "citation needed."
I'm not going to put the link back up immediately since I know better but I'd at least like a bit of a discussion over whether this was the right thing to do or if there's an alternative course of action.
So pissed over it, bots can't appreciate the context of a link, it removed it purely because it was a YouTube link.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.234.88.254 (talk) 10:35, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

message: The heading says “ports” but this was an 80s arcade game and the games listed were conversions, not ports. Back in the 80s, there was very little porting being done. I tried changing the title to “conversions” but someone changed it back. Can anyone give a good reason for this saying “ports”? Otherwise I will change this back to “conversions” in a few days’ time.
Grand Dizzy (talk) 20:34, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The standard section on Wikipedia is called Ports, hence the change.  And while you may believe what you're saying, that's not industry standard -  Port and  Conversion are interchangeable, and have been used as such since that time.  They define the process of moving a game property from one platform to another, and do not imply a specific process.  A simple look at interviews with programmers from the time such as here and the many notable interviews here, verifies this. In fact in the Halcyon interviews, Port is actually used much more often by the industry veterans to describe it.  --Marty Goldberg (talk) 21:25, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

message: It seems "OutRun" versus "Out Run" and such is just a very inconsistent issue, so I'll document it here for the hell of it.
The flyers for the original game use "Out Run" and even "アウト ラン". Apparently Sega stopped doing this for Turbo, as the American flyers clearly use "Turbo OutRun" while the Japanese flyer uses "ターボ アウトラン" (interestingly, there was an "amusement machine guide" set of flyers in 1991--well after Turbo--that features the original game and uses "Out Run"). OutRunners is almost the same as Turbo OutRun (with the exception of the German flyer, for some reason); nearly all instances outside the logo are fully capitalized, but the American flyer has "Outrunners" at the bottom. Both Sega Ages versions of OutRun just use that, which is also when they brought in the new logo.
Then we have OutRun 2, which finally uses "OutRun" in a consistent manner, going as far as to refer to the original game as such; in exchange, the number is made somewhat ambiguous. Every single logo bunches "OutRun2" together; this works for Japan as there aren't supposed to be spaces in the language. The fun part is that most European flyers kept this convention (in print) until SDX and 2006 (port), while pretty much every American port and flyer simply split the number from the beginning (still in print).
Currently, none of this considers the various ports aside from OutRun 2's, or games such as Battle/Europa/2019. Despatche (talk) 11:27, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: So are you saying that the original game should always be Out Run, with the space? I'd like to fix this up on the page, which currently uses both Out Run and OutRun about 50 times each. And if Out Run is indeed correct I will have to move the page as well to fix the title. Jeferman (talk) 20:39, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Guess I was here before. Yep, that's exactly what I'm saying; keep whatever the material uses when talking about that material. "Out Run" for the original game, "OutRun" in the titles of ports which use that, so on and so forth. I think it might be fair to refer to the series as "OutRun" as far as consistency goes?

message: There is absolutely no way this series is called "Out Run".
