TOR. The result is the opening couple of bars of "Rush A Difficulty". Commodore 64 soundtrack The Commodore 64 home version soundtrack, composed and arranged by Jeroen Tel, was well received. The soundtrack won the "Best music on 8-bit computer 1989" award on European Computer Trade Show. The title track is a remix of "Magical Sound Shower" from Out Run, featuring sound samples from Jeroen Tel himself; due to sampling quality, he was actually saying "One, two, tree... hit it, Out Run" while recording, instead of "three", to avoid it sounding like "free". Reception In Japan, Game Machine listed Turbo Outrun on their March 15, 1989 issue as being the third most-successful upright/cockpit arcade unit of the month. In North America, by August 1989, the arcade game had reached number two on the Play Meter video game charts and number six on the RePlay upright cabinet charts. Turbo Outrun received positive to mixed reviews, depending on the version. The arcade and Commodore 64 versions were well received. Commodore User reviewed the arcade version and scored it 8 out of 10. The C64 version was awarded 93% from C+VG and 97% in Zzap!64. The Spectrum version of the game received 70% from Your Sinclair, 78% from Sinclair User and 79% from Crash. Mean Machines dismissed the Mega Drive version with an overall rating of 42%. The only aspect of the game to receive genuine praise was the high-scores screen design. The review pointed to "hopeless, mega-jerky 3-D graphics, juddery scrolling, dreadful tunes, naff sound effects, and badly drawn sprites", and concluded it to be a "clapped out Robin Reliant of a race game". Mega placed the Mega Drive version at #3 in their list of the 10 Worst Mega Drive Games of All Time.
