Dead Heat Arcade

[@Phantom.Gaming64]

I miss arcade racers like this. :( Consoles just don't get games like these very often.

[@GravityKills997_II]

It’s always boring “realism” racing sims that are pretty much the same poor man gran turismo clones on console or on PC platforms.

[@InsertCoinArcade]

Dead Heat known in Japan as Maximum Heat, is an over-the-top arcade car street racing game developed by Polygon Magic and released by Namco Bandai for arcades, using PC-based Namco System ES1 hardware on October 19, 2010 in North America and April 20, 2011 in Japan.

This game is going 15 years old in october/19/2025

Very good. Especially since the new Dead Heat made its debut at the IAAPA (an organization that caters to amusement parks) convention this week in Orlando.

[@oscarestivencarabalyherrer1279]

It looks like Dead Heat was already inspired by Cruis'n series, Rush series, Midnight Club Series, The Fast And The Furious series, Test Drive series and many more series. It's gonna be awesome

[@Camper-1158]

It feels more like Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune

[@artofajax7199]

Dead Heat is essentially a casual take on Wangan Mindnight Maximum Tune, repurposing the core driving controls from those games, but adding its own elements (Wheelies, NOS, USA/European Tracks, eight racers at once, etc.) to make it stand apart.

[@lucasnassar2778]

​@@artofajax7199Record your own race and see your opponent or your own ghost drive like you did in previous plays,couldn't agree more!!!!I'm so addicted to this game that might explain the reason of that arcade have added the promotion of the "turbo charging"(100 reais+100 bonus reais for playing=24 attempts),I want to be the first brazilian that cleaned the whole list of categories on it Their promotion makes the enough for my yearly challenge to speedrun,clean all 128 races in first

​@@jacobmorgan7203 Here's why I prefer to be pacific on the race instead of being aggressive using nitro,just blocking and blocking,use nitro only when you know in pacifist you won't get first

[@lucasnassar2778]

​@@jacobmorgan7203 Not fair?Of course is fair,that's why if you double pump the gas,you can pretty reduce difference and won't cause to the courses look impossible to beat first

[@bungieman2810]

There was a short pocket in time where you couldn't escape this game. It was at every arcade I went to.

[@theceoofbasedandlitswagger2456]

So apparently, the game is available on Teknoparrot. If anyone knows how, PLEASE do us a favor and rip the audio files in Stereo quality. The soundtrack to this game was never released and the only rips I've found available online are sound as if they were ripped in mono quality (or some other term, idk. My main point is that they sound very poor.)

[@SlayerRellikALT]

Memories of playing this game at namco funscape before morrisons closed it down v.v

4:30 What a block!!!!!!!

[@babysanti2351]

I love racing games

[@lucasnassar2778]

The arcade game I'm most addicted on…that's why I made one of my shopping malls my main spot in town for a ride

[@lucasnassar2778]

PS:This answer I left,it's thankfully to a promotion they made which allows a total of 20+ plays This comment,a credit was 10 reais/9 reais VIP,which used to totalize 22/23 plays(which is more than needed to clear the combination board less than a year), It's the one I call "signature" credits(which is the VIP):100 reais plus 100 reais added,which I call "signature" or VIP credits,(since the era this comment was made every credit costs 11 reais,and with the "signature"/VIP it costs R$9,90,might change in the future) And because the frequency and their well cared macines,they did this promotion,and when I started Dead Heat and shredded the whole combination board,I thought charge and swipe with the cost 11 reais over and over,I got the notion I would never finish this game wthin 2023,but after the introduction,close to Christmas I finished it,now I'm in season 2 Thanks to that I'll be even more able to speedrun the whole combination board and finish in less than a year and 50 visits(of course,not counting the days I don't play it)

Oh no 😢

Very cool 👌

[@youngspecial64]

Even arcade games are doing better when compared to AAA games... they pride themselves to be fun and actual games

ngl I would be thank to god playing dead heat

[@theonlyKAITOXD]

i don't how to say but, this game have same engine like wmmt?

[@lucasnassar2778]

This game is based in WMMT,but very simple and not confusing,people who want to know Wangan Midnight interface,will get knowledge already in Dead Heat,except it just doesn't have people face in the original Wangan's

[@1976P]

I believe it uses the 3 or 3DX+ engine.

[@babysanti2351]

Yes

I still don't know how to get this rom...

[@Steven64]

How do I increase the volume for the announcer? I can barely hear her voice.

[@lucasnassar2778]

In my arcade I wish the whole game would be listened better…

[@lucasnassar2778]

Go to service settings,there's an option for audio volume,then you increase it

[@Steven64]

@@lucasnassar2778 Service mode crashes the game. I think it has to do with the fact it's a linux game running on windows.

[@lucasnassar2778]

​​​​​@@Steven64 I meant to say,the game menu(which old arcades called service mode),there's audio volume resource responsible for that,including one to the announcer,just set it to max,in other case,check the volume mixer settings,set both emulator and general to max I also believe it's something totally ok for the game to her voice be almost "invisible"
