Today I completed Out Run

[Spanky]

Today I achieved something I've wanted to do for forty years. I completed Out Run.
That's it, that's my bucket list complete.

Good work. I eventually managed to compete it but only the 1 route (which looked the easiest! ): Right at the first junction then left at all the others. Was yours the opposite (left at the first then right for the others?)?

Great feeling and dedication
I think it becomes tougher to complete games that you hadn’t mastered when a kid
Now you can start aiming for the record
I think it’s somewhere around the 50million mark

Yeah, I went left (stage two I can do either) then right into the alps and then kept going right.

Nice work. I remember seeing someone complete it in Butlins in the 80s in a DLX and was amazed. I get the highest scores by going right at every turn.

interested was it walk up run or was it at the end of a few attempts? can be annoying outrun when you're getting close to getting through.

Oh, I'd tried a few times earlier.
I knew I could do it if I focused, kept calm and didn't bump into things, which come to think of it, is a good mantra for life in general.
