https://arcadeheroes.com - Here is the long-awaited interview with the Arcade Hero himself, Eugene Jarvis, about the Cruis'n USA franchise. He originally proposed the game as an OutRun style piece, and it went from there. We talk Cruis'n USA, a little about World, a bit about Cruis'n Exotica, and of course Cruis'n Blast for both the arcade and the upcoming Nintendo Switch port.

My apologies for instances where my web camera goes out of focus...but at least Eugene's camera is always solid!
