I'm going to have to completely disagree with you on this one. I would very much like to see mods and improvments. Afterall, Outrun is already in mame and mame will run on just about anything. Otherwise it's just a seriously impressive exercise in reverse engineering made just for the heck of it. Outrun imho is the pan-ultimate 16 bit racer. We could make a ton of cool games using it's engine.
