Nice touch of gradiation!kinoppi2018-11-12Version 2.1

Two hacks of this game and both are great but i prefer slightly this version. I'm so surprised to see what is possible to do with only 512 colours!

Hard to recommend or notOverdrive2018-03-29Version 2.1

This certainly is an improvement over the original Genesis version, but Gabriel Pyron already did the same thing much earlier, and personally I think that hack did a little better than this one. Still, it's a pretty subjective matter, so try both and see for yourself.

Incredible!luna2112018-03-28Version 2.1

The new colors are amazing and look better than ever before! All fans of Outrun on the SEGA Genesis will love this, and I hope Tor Landeel considers doing more Genesis color hacks in the near future.
