OutRun CPC - An Amstrad CPC style remake of a hit racer gets a beta update


In 1986 Sega released one of the coolest racers of our time, it was none other than Out Run. An Arcade racer designed by Yu Suzuki, that was not only a commercial success but became one of the best selling games of its time with great graphics, fantastic music and fast paced track racing. It was just a shame however, the Amstrad CPC port was terrible with poor frame rates, colours and sound effects. So it was no wonder, a creator by the name of barbarian.1987 set out to fix all these problems while making the game incredibly smooth since 2012 as a PC port called ' OutRun CPC '.

It had incredible graphics, fantastic music and fast paced track racing that really pushed you to the edge of your seat. Yet as is the case with Arcade games of that era, many of them were ported to home computers and consoles thanks to US Gold. One such game was Out Run and the famous Amstrad CPC version, famous for completely the wrong reasons. As such one such user by the name of Barbarian.1987 set out to remake the Amstrad CPC game (since 2012/3) as a what if on your PC.
