They are lovely machines. A wee bit too fragile given the 3 (yes 3!!) layer motherboard

I love the C64 version! This is the version of Outrun I grew up with (other than the arcade!). What's your childhood version and memories of this awesome racer?

I'll be there!! Come and see me with my latest games running on the wee blue key. Come and ask me why I chose to code new games for such a belittled machine. Also, you will see me showing off new versions of Elite! Running on machines that didn't get a version first time around! 🫡
