Retro Arena: Super Hang-On, Power Drift, or OutRunners?

I've only played the Amiga versions of Power Drift and Super Hang on, PD I thought was utter pap but loved SHO.

The feeling of speed when the boost came in was great but I felt cheated after reading some time later that the programmers didn't actually increase the speed, it was all in the head caused by the sound effects.

The Amiga version of Power Drift is pretty bad. I remember thinking it was very disappointing back in 1989. It's a shame that the developer didn't really scale things back to get the frame rate up, because at least smooth gameplay would have given the game a chance to be fun.

Super Hang-On the Amiga is decent enough. It was one of my first Amiga games that I used to show off to friends.
