	Comment 1:	Outrun is one of the stand-out Arcade classics of the 1980s. Successfully capturing the spirit of cross-continental travel in one of the world’s most amazing supercars had never been so thrilling and relaxed at the same time. This was thanks in no small part to the music, by the now-legendary Hiro who also composed for Space Harrier, Enduro Racer and Afterburner. When the time came for conversions to home machines, Sega’s Master System was only a staple console in Europe and Brazil – with the NES dominating in most other territories. This was likely a key reason why they licensed certain titles to third parties (As well as Space Harrier and Afterburner among a few) – additional cash flow. Klassix, who acquired the licence for the Amiga, obviously felt they had struck gold. The first track here comes from the opening title screen where we get a no-holds-barred cocophany of sound introducing the title and Sega’s own name. This is playing over a title screen which looks extremely faithful to the original Arcade title (slightly reduced graphics but amazing to look at all the same).
	Comment 2:	But this is where it all goes a bit downhill. You see, the title screen graphics are fake. The main game looks nothing at all like the SEGA title, the visible size is tiny and the frame rate on the animations is diabolical (It can even hurt your eyes). I’ve played Sonic Jam on the Tiger Game.com console which included fake screenshots on the box, but this is the first time I’ve come across faked screenshots in-game. And the music? It was made by Jason C. Brooke, whose other musical accomplishments mostly appear to be Sega conversions to the system. Not a musical genius by any stretch, his music isn’t helped by being mixed extremely low past the title screen. These recordings have them recorded at their optimum volume levels. I will say that Splash Wave is inventive and this is well worth trying out to compare with Sega’s stellar efforts. An interesting offshoot of Sega history. One last minor note, I’ve named the tracks according to their real titles. They attempt to do this on the sound test in the Amiga game, but they’ve swapped the titles of Magical Sound Shower and Passing Breeze. I’ve swapped them back to keep a consistency with the real track names and our own Mega Drive soundtrack recording. Tracklist: 1. Introducing Outrun 2. Magical Sound Shower 3. Splash Wave 4. Passing Breeze
