Something a bit different this week.
We'll kick off with Turbo Outrun.
SEGA's sequel to the original classic arcade racer was ported to the C64 by Probe Software & published by US Gold.
Interestingly, this is considered one of the best ports of the title to a home computer.
Back in the day, SEGA licensed some of their games for home computers.
The Amiga, ST, MS-DOS & even the C64 saw some of them.
So, today, here are three games from the Outrun series, that made it to the C64.
In BrewOtaku #001 we had a look at Turbo Outrun for the Plus/4 — the article is now online! Read about it here: https://www.brewotaku.com/2025/01/turbo-outrun-2024-plus-4/
We still have copies of #001 left, as long as stock lasts.

A wild race across the USA in a Ferrari with... essentially Nitrous Oxide?
Yep. That's the sequel to Outrun, folks! 😅
I'll be honest, I think I prefer the C64 version. But the Mega Drive version is pretty good too.
