1976.0. "Out Run" by HYSTER::DEARBORN (Trouvez Mieux) Thu Dec 08 1988 17:21

    Has anyone seen the Amiga version of this game yet?  I love the
    arcade version.  If you have seen it, how good is it?  It would
    be great if they could get the computer to shake like the arcade
    game.
         
    (Out Run) is a driving game.

1976.1waiting for OUT RUN IIPRSUD2::GADAVEFri Dec 09 1988 09:0622
I got OUT RUN 2 days ago as soon as it was available in my favourite shop.
The guy told me "great" but he had no ami to demonstrate.

Well my opinion is that the amiga version looks like the ST one (the music is of
course better).
The car and the landscapes are well done and colourful, the scrolling is fast 
and there's a lot of others cars and trucks on your road (but not so nice).

The engine noise is boring when playing 15 minutes (where is the ferrari 
V12 noise ??).
There are some bugs in graphics (trees and buildings on the roadsides, seat
swapping between the driver and the girl on crash (traces of an english
    version?),and the white stripes on the road are a little bit confused).

In short the static graphics are wonderful (except characters), while the
    moving ones could have been better designed.

I'm disappointed but anyway it's still a good game not so easy (I'm still in 
stage 3) and you can play it sitting on a barrel to simulate the arcade.

1976.2the ST music is funny!!!GUCCI::HERBALSat Dec 10 1988 21:189
    Do you think the computer used in the arcade game has more graphic
    potential then the amiga?  The music on the amiga is better than
    the arcade.
    
       On my version of outrun the  game does not give you enough time
    to complete the first stage.
