Out Run 2019
is a 1993 racing video game for the Mega Drive/Genesis, serving as a pseudo-sequel to ''Out Run'' (1986) that takes place in the (then) future: 2019, hence the name. The object is to race against a time limit in a rocket-boosted car across four different stages around the world. Like the original ''Out Run'', there is a fork in the road before each checkpoint, but there can also be forks within a single route. Stages ''OutRun 2019'' features four different stages to race across, each one harder than the last. Most routes will split into two routes at their ends like in the original ''Out Run'', but a few routes instead end with either a goal or a convergence with another route. Also, throughout most of the stages, some routes will diverge, splitting into two different roadways. Usually, some of the roads will lead onto a bridge over ground, over a pit, or over water. Slipping off the bridges will cost the player precious time or force the player onto the ground route if one exi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

GameFan
''GameFan'' (originally known as ''Diehard GameFan'') was a publication started by Tim Lindquist, Greg Off, George Weising, and Dave Halverson in September 1992 that provided coverage of domestic and imported video games. It was notable for its extensive use of game screenshots in its page design, contrasting other U.S. publications at the time. The original magazine ceased publishing in December 2000. In April 2010, Halverson relaunched ''GameFan'' as a video games and film magazine. However, this relaunch was short-lived and suffered from internal conflicts and low advertising revenue. History The idea for the name ''GameFan'' came from the Japanese Sega magazine called ''Megafan''. Although it began as an advertising supplement to sell imported video games, primarily from Japan, the small text reviews and descriptions drew attention for a lack of refinement and a sense of passion. Editor profiles featured caricatures drawn by Terry Wolfinger. The anonymized approach allowed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
