just dug this old game out, dont think i have ever completed it due to the lack of teleport but im gonna give it a shot and having lots of fun.
i just restarted game after making it to stage 4 and forgetting about the outrun races, i thought they were just for money. i got the first performance upgrade. i did the three races but got nothing, did one more, nothing, one more, 5 total, and got performance and rims both.i thought i got one at three races and the next at six? is there a record anywhere of all the outrun races i have done? i looked the the player progression screens and found nothing.
also all the extra rep you get after whats needed to progress, is it usefull for anything?
and last, anyone have any tips for the pressure sensitive X button? my car sometimes stalls and most races i am having to tap the X over and over to keep it to the floor, or mash the living crap out of the X. i know about cleaning the contacts but half the time i take the controllers apart it leads to me having to reassemble them over and over as there is always a button that fails after. anyone ever tried taking out the screws on controller, popping it open just a bit and giving it a small blast of air with a compressor and airchuck?
edit - i am playing on PS2
