What if OutRun came to the Game Boy Color?

The Game Boy never got a version of OutRun back in the 80s. During development of a recent Game Boy game (Hero GP) I wondered if I could fix that and what would it look like? 

The answer to that question is OutRun GB 🌴

OutRun GB is a port of the original Arcade version of Out Run to the Game Boy Color. It's the whole game - all the tracks - all the music - all the wind in your hair !:)

It’s OutRun on a Game Boy \o/

CONTROLS

On a real Game Boy Color or Analogue Pocket:

A - Accelerate
B - Brake?
LEFT and RIGHT - Steer

NOTE: The emulator on this web page uses Z for Accelerate.

RUNNING THE GAME

OutRun GB comes in two flavours: a GBC file (for the Game Boy Color), and POCKET (for the Analogue Pocket). The Game Boy Color ROM is designed for use with Game Boy emulators such as mGBA (compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux, and Ubuntu) or a flash cartridge such as the EverDrive.
