Sometimes you just can’t beat the classics. Yes, we know Gran Turismo 7 just launched on the PlayStation 5 and PS4, but if you’re looking for a racer you can play sideways then Slipstream may be more your bag. Look, there’s no beating around the bush here: this has been heavily inspired by Yu Suzuki’s arcade classic OutRun, complete with classic parallax scrolling effects, tight controls, and a searing soundtrack.

It’s an homage to late 80s and early 90s racers developed by a single Brazilian developer, Sandro Luiz de Paula, and it boasts a bunch of modes, including championships, time trials, and even an elimination-style battle royale mode. Oh, and there’s also local split-screen multiplayer, of course – all delivered at a blazingly fast 60 frames-per-second. New gameplay wrinkles include the ability to rewind mistakes an even adjust the game speed to your tastes.

We’ll admit, we’re feeling a little bit giddy for this. But what about you? The will hit the PS Store’s starting line from 7th April, and will set you back just $9.99.
