Firstly, I have no doubt you could wipe off QRS's top score on Outrun Novice as indeed I have no doubt you could wipe off all of my top scores if you wanted. I know I am not the best in the world, my uploads just seemed like a good idea at the time. I don't think it is good to create bad feelings by threatening to beat QRS's score, his intentions are good. Then again I know your views are strong on this matter and I respect that just like I respect everyone here. Sometimes you gotta accept what goes on here like I accepted the 5 lives rule for Bombjack eh QRS

I voted to allow the 'trick' even though I've never tried it. I relate this a bit to Sega Daytona USA, which I must've played thousands of times in the arcade and went on to win the UK National Championship Challenge competition. There are many 'tricks' in that game, one example is taking a shortcut through the pit lane on the Beginner's track without the car doing a pit stop, it is quite hard to do for all 8 laps but the reward is great, if it goes wrong (GAME OVER) start driving backwards or something for fun
. And what about ramming the gears into 2nd or 1st to take a hairpin bend without using the brake, was that the way the game was meant to be played? Come to think of it, it probably was
.
Another driving game with a 'trick' was Sega Indy 500. You can do the whole oval track flat out by wiggling the steering wheel while you're giong round the bend and you won't skid.
Cheers, Gaz.
PS. I've just practised the offroad trick a bit and can now do it in short bursts so that makes my vote valid right?
