Xbox[edit]

The original Out Run is hidden inside the Xbox game OutRun 2 and can be accessed by using the code NINETEEN86 and also by completing all routes in arcade mode. However, the original arcade had sprites with one translucent color, used for shadows, which is not replicated in this emulation. The emulated version renders this color opaque.

It is also located inside Shenmue II (2002) as a minigame.
