Things about me rating this

- Gen X'er who actually played Speed Freak in 1980 the legit Vectorbeam game

- therefore i also played Outrun during its prime when it came out

so i'm totally into it, the minimalist graphics remind me that i'm also a Flight Sim Toolkit baby.

- as a musician who posts on Repost-Exchange i see all the artists using Synthwave track art as a genre so that draws a chuckle because their track arts are so lock-step the same graphic style as this so i totally understood it.

Anyway to brass tacks: the game is engaging and simple enough and immersive and all that good stuff.

Gave it high marks and you an itch follow, if you like the thing(s) on my page(s), consider doing the same.

Cheers!

Did not know how similar to Speed Freak my game is. This is because I am Gen Z.

Even within my own cohort i find out things about my own time period way later, because i was geographically isolated, that i wouldn't know unless i had been like in an economically affluent or high-population density area.  Like 30 years later i find it out from emulation or the internet.  Kids that were literally living the same life as Ferris Bueller in 1986 might know about early online BBS's and stuff but i didn't do dialup till college in '91-'97.  But I digress and the example i -was- going to say, was look at Hustle.  It was a type-the-BASIC-program-yourself game in a book that i typed into a TRS-80 Model III in like 1981-2.  But then we didn't know then, that it was already a coin-op game by Gremlin in 1977 or 78, until like August 30, 1998 when it was added to MAME.

So it's interesting to be out of sync on some things and not other!

Cheers!

For this game, I wanted something that was retro, as well as a playable race game.
