In the PC-DOS version, the route that scores the most possible points (about 76.5 million) is Coconut Beach-Gateway-Desert-Old Capital-Desolation Hill.

The gameplay was backed up by a soundtrack of laid-back beach music, and featured three selectable tracks in all that were broadcast through imaginary FM Radio channels received by the radio receiver in the Testarossa.

An MTV public service announcement against drunk driving shown in the mid '90s shows a gamer playing Out Run while under the influence of alcohol, and cuts to each point where the gamer crashes until the end of game.
