Great love letter to Outrun

Nice little time waster, great if you want something to just pick up and play and have a good time. If you liked the old Outrun games, you'll like this.

Good casual game!

Fanatical User
Verified purchase
It is a modern retro clone of Out Run. Short and fun races, for casual gameplays. It has good music and for its price it is worth to have it installed. It also runs in a coffe pot so it's worth to have it installed in a... ehem! working laptop, for if the boss gets toasty in overly long out of schedule online meetings, just launch this and to hell with it!

Retro arcade racer goodness!

Fanatical User

To keep it short and sweet, this is a very solid arcade style racer. The graphics and soundtrack are great, and really bring on the nostalgia. The gameplay is nothing revolutionary, but it's fun. The game is not super deep, but it also doesn't break the bank, so I think the value is good for the price. If you like retro arcade racer style games, this it one to consider.

Get back in the 80's on another car.

Fanatical User

If you want to get the 80's feel for racing, choose another title, the environment kinda gets you there but the driving experience is clumsy and not addictive at all. Worth a try if the price is low.

Excellent for the price! Reminiscent of Outrun, especially when you get to pick the branching paths.

A must-play arcade racer.
Verified purchase
Many games have tried to be like Outrun over the years - but few have managed to surpass it. '80s Overdrive is influenced by the Yu Suzuki classic, but overtakes it in terms of sheer gameplay and wind up with a great chiptune soundtrack to boot.
