Battle Out Run was a 1989 videogame released by Sega on the Master System. Despite being part of the Out Run series, this game plays little like its namesake and more like Chase H.Q., where the objective is to ram the cars of specified criminals. A notable feature is to enhance the car's attributes by buying upgrades that are inside of a truck that passes at certain moments and must be entered from the rear.

Battle Out Run was Sega's answer to Taito's Chase H.Q. The player drives a red sports car and must apprehend eight target vehicles in selected cities across the USA, including Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, and New York. He has to do this while avoiding yellow cars and other obstacles. Halfway through the eight stages, he enters a shop that allows him to upgrade his car and get some nitros, as long as he has money, and he will be rewarded if he apprehend the vehicles. This can be done by bumping into them to disable them.
