Can we rebuild OutRun Offline Game?

Build a Chrome extension like OutRun Offline Game — a OutRun Offline Game alternative you own.

If you want retro arcade racing directly in your browser, you can easily build your own OutRun Offline Game alternative. Many third-party arcade extensions inject tracking or bloat, but building this as a self-contained Chrome extension ensures clean, instant offline gameplay whenever you open a tab or popup.
