Indie developer Shane McCafferty recently said he wanted to bring OutRun to the Game Boy—and it looks like he's very close to achieving that noble goal.
McCafferty—head of Rocketship Park and developer of titles like Cave Dave, Starseed, Hoonigans and Nitro—recently released Hero GP, a tribute to Sega's Hang-On arcade game.
It was only natural, then, that he might shift his attention to Yu Suzuki's other Super Scaler racing classic—1986's OutRun.
Referred to as "What If OutRun", the demo appears to be reaching the finish line and is already looking very promising. Hero GP delivered a fantastic sense of speed on relatively humble hardware, so we'd imagine this new title will do the same.
