    Out Run -the arcade- was quite revolutionary at that time (1986). It had awesome graphics, music, intro and ending scenes and better sense of speed than any other racing game. Unfortunately the arcade of the eighties was ported poorly to home computers and consoles. Only Sega Saturn, PC Engine and Sega Genesis/Megadrive have acceptable versions that appeared quite late (1996, 1990 and 1991 respectively).

    Two verions of the game were released for MSX: the direct port by Probe from ZX Spectrum with nice PSG tunes and awful gameplay and this one from Pony Canyon with better gameplay, not so good PSG tunes and nice end scenes. The Pony Canyon version seems to be a direct port from Master System, though.

    A lot better than the MSX1 version, only this time the music isn't quite as nice.
