Days of Thunder (Mindscape)

Overview

IT'S DAYS OF THUNDER AS YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE!

This is the original Days of Thunder for the NES! This game was created internally at Mindscape and was quietly cancelled in 1990, replaced by a completely different version of the game made at Beam Software in Australia.

This version of the game was never seen by the public, never shown at a trade show, and never previewed by a magazine. Outside of the staff at Mindscape, it's likely that nobody has ever played this game before.

In 1990, the game was archived by its late co-creator, Chris Oberth, on a set of floppy disks kept in his personal archives. 30 years later, those disks were discovered by his family and, using Mindscape's original development tools, the game was rebuilt!
