At last! All four Outrun cabs have fully functioning sound! We've replaced no less than 3 amplifiers in 24 hours. Just in time for our legendary event 😁

You asked for it many times, it's finally here. You can now switch TV channels between BBC1 and Channel 4, the latter of which will now let you play Bamboozle!
