I'm going to rewatch your Outrun episode for more Information on the Xbox games.
Did that. And then bought a used Outrun 2006 Coast to Coast for PC.
....after three days of playing I've come to my personal conclusion:
What a f*cking great game this is! Still looks gorgeous despite being almost a decade old and runs blazing fast on my laptop. Oh, and the music... So many catchy tunes. I have a special thing for the Magical Sound Shower Euro Remix, but even the original 1986 songs are very fitting.
Joe, I remember you mentioned the somewhat twitchy controls of SP/2006, and I agree. I have no trouble drifting, but as soon as drifting ends on some straights or trying to switch lanes without drifting, the Ferrari tends to be a bit nervous. I guess I can live with that.
Many thanks for your OutRun video! And it's too bad that After Burner Climax isn't available anymore. I could give myself a severe kicking for not having purchased it a few months before it was taken down.
