On the game page itself. If you scroll down to the download button, you'll see "more information". If you fold that open, you can see the star rating. I believe that's where you can rate the game. 馃槈
I've uploaded the latest version where you can go to the options menu and turn off the passenger.
You can unlock the motorcycle if you win the game with one of the two first cars and then win the game with the Countach.
I don't know why, but I don't get notificaties if I get a reply. So excuse me if I don't answer immediately. I've read your suggestion to add music during the menu. Do you have any suggestions which music should be played? 馃槉
thx for answer, Yves !!
Ok for Passenger! 馃憤
I thought it would be in .035 version!
1) But now we can't choose Countach or ZR1 anymore?
I think you should add it,
And let motorcycle to unlock 馃槈
(When we unlock a New model, is it saving somewhere or must we do it again if we shut down computer ?)
2) For music:
"Camino a mi Amor" from Outrun.
3) I've request;
For Big PayPal donation (50-70$),
Is it possible to add those models?
Porsche 928 from Chase HQ (with or without red turning ligth on roof, to choose in option)
And Porsche 930 from Outrun.
If too many bugs or something else, just a personnal release edition馃槈
Update 0.3.5:
- I've added the music! Let me know if you think it fits.
- You can now choose all cars again. The motorcycle is still an unlockable vehicle.
- The save system was broken due to the implementation of the divisions. I've fixed the bugs and all progress should be saved to files.
- The Porsche 928 is doable to add to the game, but it will take a lot of time, because I have to rip all the sprites and tile them together. The Porsche 930, is that the one you race if you choose the Testarossa/DX110?
- I'm working on a weather system. ;) So yes, the snowy stage and rain will be added in the future.
- The animated pit stop might take too long to implement. It will also need some extra sprites for all the available parts.
- The gauges are dynamically rendered because of the different top speeds and rpm limits of each car. I could make them look like the ones in Turbo Outrun.
- Oh and yes, I like that ancient stage too, so I'm going to recreate that one too. ;)
Thx for answer, dear !
I think it would be better to continue by mail ?

1) Thx for music ! Love it !!
2) Yes, 928 will be (maybe) a bit long to do.
911/930 is Ferrari/DX110 opponment
Yes, please playable Porsche 928 & 959 (with and without girl passenger) & 911/930 (YELLOW).
For that, as it takes time on your family activity, perf modding, .. etc i will give you big gift (70$) by paypal donation.
Thrust me, i"m a serious guy. AND WE MUST HELP YOU AND THX YOU TO RELEASE US THE PERFECT OUTRUN 2 !!!
By the way, i can become official tester to help you if you want ?
i notice some little bugs and have some ideas if it agrees for you ;)
3) Snow, rain and specialy ancient Outrun stage will be big and fabulous addon !!!
4) i understand difficulty for pitstop animation. Why not just add this pic in background ? For garage spirit?
5) i think just old Turbo Outrun dashboard would be better for the soul of your game.
But if we can choose between modern or old one, it would be amazing and perfect !!
I stay tuned, here or with my mail.
Take care of you and have a good day.
Alright, here we go!
Sometimes I forget to look at my mailbox, so it might be better to stay on this forum. It also gives me a better overview of our conversation.
I'm glad you like the music!
Actually ripping the sprites of the 928 isn't such a bad job. I've found a modified version of Mame that gets rid of the space between the tiles which makes it easier to put the tiles together. It just misses 1 sprite, and that's the one going straight ahead and slightly down. I might get a screenshot of that sprite in-game.
The 930 and 959 are another story. It doesn't have a sprite straight ahead, so I have to draw it. I don't think I did a bad job with the ZR-1 which also missed that same sprite, but I'm not sure if I can draw these Porsches.
You sure can help me out with testing the game and your suggestions sure give me ideas on how to improve the game. For instance, you were talking about an pit crew animation in the parts menu when you confirm the repairs, and someone else suggested a visual confirmation that the repairs are done. Perhaps I can combine these two.
I'm probably going to revamp the gauges to make them look like the ones from the original game, but without the Ferrari logo.
I've made a donation page last year, but I'm not sure if it works properly: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?business=KR33TQ2BRCNZC&no_recurring=1&item_name=H...
Hi!馃憢
Ok let's go!
Cool for 928馃憤
Hope for 930 will be ok. I Love 911 style!!
I'm ok to test all what you want. Share your files when you need on my mail?

In 0.35, I notice sometimes there is no music in pitstop. First Time i go to pitstop music is here, but when i progress, sometimes there isn't any music.
Other thing, sometimes AI drivers go and drive in landscape/scenery. Curious!馃槀
When you will have finish request, for PayPal, is it this?
I ran into a few problems.
First the cars.
- As I said: there are no sprites where the 930 is facing straight ahead. That means that someone has to draw them. If I have to do that, that might take me a few hours because I'm not an artist.
- We know that the 928 is from Taito's Chase HQ. While Sega is cool with fan games, maybe Taito is not. So adding another car from them might not be the best idea. Maybe I'll have to remove the Countach someday, until I have custom made sprites for it.
Second: the gauges. I've tried, but if I have to make them look like the ones from Turbo Outrun, I have to completely rewrite the code because it's not compatible with images. It's all dynamically calculated based on screen size. This might take me another few hours/days.
Since I already have functional gauges and 4 lovely cars + a motorcycle, I feel that I shouldn't put too much time in these things, although I would really like those two additional cars. Just not right now.
What I really want to do is make stuff more user friendly and add more stages and sceneries. I already have 2 extensions for the 1st and 4th stage of race 1 and I'd like to add many more so I can double the amount of stages and divide them into 2 divisions. And then I can dress a couple of them in the ones you suggested, like the ancient stage.
I'm also working on a weather system. Right now I have heavy rain, but no snow yet.
About the bugs:
- Does the music stop if you run out of time? Because that's supposed to be like that. Or does it also stop if you finish?
- Yes, the AI cars sometimes think they are in another stage with more lanes, so they don't know that they are off roading. It happens when they respawn in front of you, right at the end of a stage. They don't register any collisions because that only happens when they know they are off road. It's a complicated bug and it happens more when playing the Outrun mode with the branches. First I thought they were just knocked off the road, which is sometimes true, but not always.
