Request: make the car slow down on Game Over (like the arcade) instead of sudden stop on time out.

The arcade also has the sudden stop. I believe Outrun 2 has the gradual stop. 

Nevertheless, it could be a cool change/option in the future as I'd agree the sudden stop feels a bit brutal.

Ah, sorry was introduced by the Deluxe version under MAME... ;)
Other minor things: in game ESC should ask you "Do you want to quit? Y/N", and would be great if it would save hi-scores.

I made a drawer ColorIcon for it: English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Outrun AGA

Yeah I'll definitely do high score saving in a future release also.

If you look closely, the car does slow down somewhat before suddenly stopping at game over. As soon as the timer shows 0 on screen, but it is counting down from 0.9 to 0.0 internally, the car starts to slow down and then stops dead when the timer reaches 0.0 internally.

This is how the arcade version was from the start and therefore how this version works.

You'll be pleased to know that both hi-score saving and a rolling stop are coming in the next version. Should be out in a couple of days.
