OutRun: Amiga Edition Vinyl Release
If you’ve ever wanted to experience the high-speed thrills of OutRun while feeling like you’re stuck in a beautiful, retro-computing fever dream, listen up.
The developer over at reassembler has just dropped a stunning vinyl release of OutRun: Amiga Edition. This isn’t just a standard reissue, either. The tracks were painstakingly reverse-engineered from the original Arcade ROMs and recomposed from scratch in an 8-bit Protracker format specifically for the Amiga. To keep things thematic, the record plays at 45rpm—or as the dev puts it, “45km/h.”
Here is the lowdown on this collector’s item:
- The Look: A gorgeous, translucent red and blue limited edition featuring artwork by Sam Miller.
- The Goods: A £25 purchase gets you the LP plus a digital download (including the MOD files) via Bandcamp.
- The Catch: This is a self-released indie project. It is numbered, strictly limited, and there are zero plans for a repress.
If you’re more of a gamer than a collector, don’t fret—the full Amiga Edition game is available for free on itch.io. Happy driving!
