Turbo Out Run ported to Commodore Plus/4 | C64 gameplay comparison 

Ah thank you for the kind words and welcome!

@@RetroRecollections You're welcome 😸😺👍🕹️. COMMODORE 64 FOREVER 😺👍🕹️! Press play on tape AMIGA FOREVER 😺👍🕹️! Insert disk 2

Yeah me too - they did a great job with it.

Ah thanks for the nice words. There are some little gems on the system and I just think it didn’t have a chance back in the day to shine. Today many quality home brew titles and conversions are being made.

Yes it is a feat of marvel indeed :)

You're very welcome. Thank you for your wonderful game! ❤

Thanks 🙏

Yes! Every time TCFS brings something else out my mouth drops. Then they do it again! 😀

Yeah it was definitely because making games for the system wasn't commercially viable as opposed to the capabilities of the platform that we didn't get better games during it's lifetime. The games being developed in recent years are exemplary.

Hi Andrew - I can imagine, I used a disk image and that was slow enough on the C64 version so what tape was like oh boy 😆 Like I said before on the video I had the Master System version of the original Out Run and that is great and of course no loading times. The capture is unfortunately all fake at the moment while I obtain everything I need to play on real hardware again. I do have a C16 and a Plus/4 now but they haven’t been tested yet. Looks good though, using an overlay in OBS and standalone emulators.

It is the TED! I was shocked that they got that sort of sound out of it too.

Thanks!

I’m sure it does- my Plus/4 still needs some work but when done I will be playing this on there. Hopefully my skill will improve too! 😆

Nope I was stuck on the C16 unfortunately. Luckily in the UK most games were made for the C16 and not the Plus/4 (lowest hanging fruit scenario) and was a moderate success with games steadily being made into the late 80's long after it was discontinued.

@@RetroRecollections There are a few modern homebrews show with the right programmer, you can get some pretty cool games out of the TED hardware.

Actually it's running on Vice but from my research newer SIDs (possibly three ones in the C64c short boards) had issues with the samples on this game so I guess Vice is emulating one of those, I didn't check. I'll play it on real hardware when I get my C64 back up and running.

@@GelatinousThunderDonkeyThe variance across the line was quite something. I had a C128. That did play samples, but quietly. However, not almost silently as in this video. I distinctly remember enjoying the Turbo OutRun theme in that machine (if not the actual game, this version of which I never saw the appeal of).

Very true! Have you seen there is a new AGA version of Amiga Out Run being developed? I have high hopes for that.
