This Arcade Cabinet Makes OutRun a Bit Insane to Play

Force Dynamics have a pretty wicked arcade cabinet, dubbed the 401cr motion platform, that is sure to make any arcade fan soil themselves.

Featured above, their completely insane machine was put to the test, with one of the most iconic of arcade racers – Sega’s OutRun. Force Dynamics give an explanation for how the entire set up works:

“This is the original arcade OutRun from 1986, ported to the PC via the incredible open-source work of Reassembler. We modified the source to provide the output we need to run our platform, which was easier than you might think: While OutRun is worlds away from a modern simulation like Live For Speed, rFactor, or iRacing, it feels remarkably good once you combine the data the game calculates about the vehicle’s position.”

Can we get one of these for the Niche Gamer offices?
