Coin-op conversion of the cult racing game. Unfortunately not a patch on the original (but hardly surprising, really).
Use the gears to slow you down as the speed drops down from 280km/h to 189km/h straight away. This is useful on corners and when approaching other vehicles. As you pass other cars, change up again and accelerate away. From the start, head for the left-hand checkpoints, as these seem to be the easiest tracks.
The Speedlock 4 hacker comes into play with this handy Poke for infinite time.
This poke works great: the tape counter messes up as it's loading but this is normal. Also, if your are using a tzx cassette file of the original game with the Amiga port of X128: once the Speedlock loader has loaded and initialized you will get red and black stripes for about 10 seconds and a low pitched sound - this is the Speedlock doing it's decryption tone. But be patient it is working ! This hack was tested with the 48k version of Outrun. Another thing to note is after the game had loaded and choosing my type of joystick, I had to unpause X128's tape deck to get it to load level one. Dunno if you will need to do this with the PC version of X128.
