Oh, the IBM Compatibles were whooping on the Amiga as early as 1992. Alone in the Dark, Ultima Underworld and Wolfenstein 3D all dropped that year on the PC, and the Amiga was starting to see technically inferior ports of multi-platform games for a change. That was the year the tide began to turn.

I bought the Amiga version when it got re-released on budget. I had never seen the arcade game and had only recently moved from my Spectrum to the Amiga so when I played the game it was for me a huge step up from Spectrum racers of the time and as I didn't have any other racers on my Amiga I had nothing to compare it to so I thought it was okay. Yes the game is a huge letdown after that bombastic intro but I thought it was okay as a game nonetheless. Years later, seeing what the Amiga was capable of, this game really is a letdown. Whilst the Amiga wouldn;t be arcade perfect, especially not on OCS (AGA maybe colour wise), when I see the likes of the Lotus games it makes me wonder what sort of port we could have had if the Lotus game was used as the source. Arcade perfect? No, but it would have been in my opinion a lot smoother, faster, something that would be a far better representation of the game for Amiga owners.

In the arcade version, the little Ferrari horse changes direction as the car changes direction, presumably because it's a mirrored sprite. Here's a rundown of which versions have or haven't emulated this "feature": Arcade: has it. SMS: no horse. Game Gear: the horse is represented by a couple of pixels, they do not change direction. Sega Mega Drive: horse is present, looks quite like the arcade version and does not change direction. Amiga: horse does not change direction. ST: horse does not change direction. Amstrad CPC: horse DOES change direction, like the arcade ZX Spectrum: Same as CPC. Impressive graphics for the small beast. C64: horse does not change direction. MSX2: no horse. MS-DOS: horse does not change direction. PC Engine: horse behaves like the arcade version. Gameboy Advance: hah. since this a modern port, they modified the horse so it does not resemble any famous Italian car makers. It does not seem to use reversed sprites, it actually looks simmetrical. Does not look like a sprite flip. Sega Saturn: behaves like the arcade. Superior. Dreamcast: another modern port, has a re-designed logo that is simmetrical. PS2: re-designed logo that is not simmetrical but does not flip. 3DS: redesigned logo that looks like... a blur. It looks like the edited the animation frames unevenly to change it from horse to ? Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

The 3DS version is a true port which runs at 60 FPS, is native widescreen, has true fullscreen (the Switch version has borders), it comes with a customization system for your Ferrari (can change color and other welcoming gameplay tweaks), has two new original music tracks made by M2 (which sound amazing), can choose between the japanese or western stage layouts, and the 3D feature really adds to this sprite scaller. The Switch version is just a ROM on an emulator with widescreen hack.

The only port I have personal experience with is the C64 version, it's no Turbo Outrun or Power Drift but it's still pretty good in my opinion. I read an online article on the programmer, Martin Webb, he worked with his father, Dennis, who was the graphic artist. Martin was only about 17 at the time. His father was apparently very demanding and difficult to work with, and their relationship suffered as a result after working on different projects together. What is going on with your playthrough of the 3DS version? The whole thing seems to tilt as you turn on the bends? Are you using some sort of peripheral?

Saying a console is a certain amount of bits is marketing BS anyways. It really doesn't matter as long as memory is mapped properly. The part people forget about the PC Engine is that the CPU runs at 7 times the speed of the original NES, which is similar to how fast the SNES is. The biggest advantage being that games were programmed in assembly back then and the PC Engine used the well known and well respected 6502 assembly to program for, wheras the Super Famicom used the 16-bit successor to the 6502 (which ironically could've ran in 6502 mode- why Nintendo didn't go for backwards compatible is beyond me) and the Genesis used a 68k CPU (which to be fair, was much faster than either other console and I believe you could get away programming in C on these?? correct me if i'm wrong programming nerds) PC Engine using an 8-bit CPU heavily simplified development at the time and meant all of those wonderful NES and C64 programmers could easily use what they already know to start making games. Hudson were geniuses, I wish NEC would've just rushed the PC Engine to mainstream in the US- a lot of things about the system's design would've been things that appealed to parents more than the US TG16.

The games seemed to lose something when taken out of that context, Outrun at home just never felt the same.

Back then there were no paved rural roads across the country, no high speed routes, no Interstate system and it took a week and a half to do it. The current record is 25 hours and 39 minutes.

To be fair, I only ever really played, as in, played for significant amounts of time, this game in the arcade, because yeah, this is a game where the racing wheel felt great. I've played one of the lesser Sega ports, MS-DOS (ONCE AND ONLY ONCE-I borrowed it whilst I had a Tandy 1000), and on PS2. I had heard about some fan-made port that changed the music to that of metal (imagine listening to Metallica's Fuel on loop lolz), but maybe that was just a custom-made Windows port or something; since it was a blurb I read some time back, I've no way of knowing anything more, but I do know one thing...I love this game. It's one of the best arcade racers there is. Speaking of arcade racers, Ridge Racer is another excellent series, at least, the early games were; I can't vouch for the games past Rave Racer since my experience time with those is far less.

I remember seeing that Amiga for the first time when the game was new. "Wow, this game is gonna look as good as the arcade one," my young stupid head thought because of that still shot while the crazy intro music plays. There were two moments on the Amiga I really felt my heart sink: when the game actually started in Out Run and when the game actually started in the port of the original Double Dragon on the computer. Yeesh. My expectations were in check after those experiences. The Genesis/MD Outrun was good for its time and for some reason gets way more flak than it deserves. Also, I appreciate the remaster you've done on Space Harrier and this, bringing them up to your modern standards.

I love these remastered versions of BOTP so much. Thank you. Mark III version can be played with the paddle control controller for analog steering! So the ultimate setup is, Japanese SMS, Outrun cart + Paddle control. It is more fun, not sure if it is easier with paddle control though.... PS2 version can be forced to 16:9 on real hardware. Underrated gem Cannonball, I was following the development of that one. The ultimate version for out run lovers. Amazing. The guy reverse engineered the game. He fixed many bugs and as a result it's the best version. Best console version Saturn Best handhedl version 3DS

Set Dosbox to explicity emulate the Tandy and you should get way better sound. Some games try to be clever and detect if you use a Tandy machine, not helping if you would have used some form of soundcard with the TI-SN76496, like here a virtual one in Dosbox.

Groovy ! Now thats a remaster. I like Outrun, its one of the best racing games arguably. I think it had a really big impact on the next generations of games. Although some ports were poorly done, I guess its not bad there were so many, it only helped the game to be so popular as it is. The 8 bit ports are surely simply crushed by the PC Engine, this console proves that it was possible to create something great on the 8 bit. The Amstrad and ZX runs in a similiar way, of the moving sprites to imitate the road lanes - this is probably why the road is green, since there is no road at all ! My guess is applying a black or grey color over it, would look even worse. Overall a quite simple trick they used for those games. And the MSX is probably unpolished version of Master System, as both of the systems are very similiar, which resulted of bootleg MSX games a SMS carts. For me the Saturn version is the best of them all, still for this day, although Cannonball has an advantage of running at Linux based platforms, so it basically can be played on anything nowadays

Yeah the Mega Drive port uses the Japanese stage layout which is the original and best one! And it has some exclusive content such as a fourth selectable tune called "Step on Beat" (which is super nice IMO), an unlockable "Hyper Mode" and some cool cameos depending of how you play. My main complaint with this port is the lack of engine noise as well as a few backgrounds that could have been more polished. The frame rate might not be optimal but lot of racing games of that time have variable frame rate anyway. Then the PC Engine port is surprisingly good in some ways but it lacks some key features such as the ocean on the roadside or many other graphical elements that are supposed to define each stage. Also no digit voices and this version uses the international stage layout which is less balanced and rather incoherent. Then the Master System port was really solid for its time and quite impressive for a third gen system, much better than the MSX or other computer versions! Not much fan of the Game Gear port, sadly. It has some exclusive stages though. And the Saturn port with its smooth 60 FPS mode and remixed soundtrack is fantastic. Overall, my favorite versions are Mega Drive and Saturn 👍 BTW being "8-bit" or "16-bit" is a bit meaningless. I mean, the Nintendo 64 has a 64-bit CPU yet it is comparable with Saturn/PS1. Inversely the Xbox has a 32-bit CPU yet it's comparable with Dreamcast/PS2/GameCube. And about the PC Engine, it has a 8-bit CPU but it's supercharged and it also has a 16-bit GPU and a sound chip that's kind of in-between so overall the PC Engine belongs to the fourth generation of video games, alongside the Amiga, Mega Drive and SNES. PS: 9:18 haha, I literally laughed out loud 🤣 but heeey, not everything is bad in this version, at least it has the ocean on the roadside and you even see the characters when they're ejected from the car 😁

@@nattila7713 As I said the Japanese layout is more balanced and more coherent. The stage "Gateway" has nothing to do as stage 2 and should appear instead just before "Desolation Hill" just as it does in the Japanese version. Similarly they swapped "Cloudy Mountain" and "Devil's Canyon" in the international version just to increase the difficulty in a cheap way so that people would put more coins! That's why the Japanese layout is infinitely better and gives you a nicer journey feeling
