Sega had a chance to put right the gaming debacle that is Megadrive OutRun with a conversion of the arcade followup, Turbo OutRun.

Unfortunately, they fumbled it pretty early on by entrusting the programming to Tiertex - the same people who completely ruined the computer versions for US Gold. True to form, the same programmers have made a complete pig's ear of the Megadrive conversion.

The graphics are awful, with an unrealistic 3D playing area and a lack of speed.

What's more, the gameplay itself bears little resemblance to the original arcade machine. Surely this is the whole point of an arcade conversion?
