Yes, I played OutRun 2 on the bus to work.

I love how that sounds.

I played OutRun 2 on the bus to work.

I still can’t quite finish the easiest route on the SP stages, but it’s really starting to feel like it’s my fault, not the controls. Getting used to digital braking and accelerating has been the biggest challenge. I can’t ease off the gas to get round bends anymore and it’s really changed the way I’m having to play the game. Anyone who went all or nothing on the triggers in the Xbox game will probably find it easier to adjust.

But it’s so good. It is OutRun 2 in the palm of my hand. It’s not perfect, but it’s more than a handheld approximation of the real game. It is the real game.

It’s Magical Sound Shower played through a decent all-in-one stereo instead of an expensive separates system with gold-plated double-thick speaker wires. Or something.
