Port means that it's a conversion from another machine. This Amiga version of Outrun was ported from the Atari ST - so it didn't use the full power of the Amiga.
Graphically it doesn't seem bad ... but for fucks sake ... this port is just as terribly slow as the ST one, pretty embarrassing, considering both computers could do decently speeded scrolling with those graphics.
Well, this does look pretty bad, I had & still have Amiga's, and don't really remember ever playing this on the Amiga back then, but surely I must have along the way? Must've been that crap I didn't remember ha. :D Anyway, I only remember playing the C64 version way back then, and still own that and the others such as Outrun Europa etc. There were farrrr better racing games for the Amiga such as the Lotus trilogy, And Jaguar XJ220, loved them :D
Haha... I remember getting this for my A1200, all that loaded was the intro. WTF was that music all about on the title screen!?!? I remember thinking I had bought some sort of cracked version or something.
YES! Thank you for bringing this one back! I always loved the music that accompanied the title screen! Like some sort of epic drama when it's just a videogame about racing! :-D. Kickass.
They didn't even get the music right. FAIL.

I remember playing this game on the amiga and being so disapointed with it. If US gold had put more effort in it could have been an amazing game

US GOLD butchered almost every Amiga port they ever handled.
Aweful. Just aweful.

This is an Atari ST port, which ran so much better. It still has 'FM' on the reg plate ffs (From ST'FM').
What's with that terrible speech at the start?

Gosh, I LOVED this version as a child. As a 'grown up' I see it was cack.
Although I think the sound track on this version is BETTER than the arcade soundtrack.
Well, Magical Sound Shower, anyway.
