Days of Thunder NES (Unreleased Version) Gameplay

[@PatTheNESpunk]

Amazing job, VGHF! Interesting to see two different driving modes.

Looks like a good subject for the #CUPodcast

[@GamerGoingGrey]

The car rising on the maintenance riser has the Duck Hunt zapper sound effect.

[@pierzpressure7931]

Beautiful soundtrack

[@ChrisBarrett1]

Like a choir of angels

[@marhansgamingchannel4732]

Hhhmmm

[@DenkyManner]

First person section is very impressive. Maybe there are other examples of that on nes but I've never seen that technique before. The center marking updating at 60fps while the "geometry" updating only when necessary, while able to slide left to right at 60. It just about convinces. Looking at it again the track might be more like an animation file than polygons

[@Mchenrygames]

Just read the article. Thanks for all the effort put into preserving this. RIP Chris Oberth

[@thinkandrepent3175]

this game predicted the future 2022 next gen car with one lugnut and a gascan that hooks up automatically.

[@kxmode]

the gas can looks like it's making sweet sweet love to that car

[@diegocrusius]

fantastic work guys well done

[@BeyondTheScanlines]

It's a genuinely different take - I can only think of one other racing game which had that side on view (Martech's The Fury released a few years prior). It's a shame Chris isn't still around to talk about why it was canned - particularly as it's so different to the other versions Mindscape published (not just talking about the released NES game, but the other machines…)

[@adultmoshifan87]

I know of one other racing game with a side view: Cars 2 on PSP!

[@mattjenkin2884]

When I first saw the title, I thought it said "Lords Of Thunder."

[@NotMyActualName_]

Glad to see the pit stop function in this game was just as bad as the official one.

Todd Rogers submited a speed run score of 5.51 seconds verified by a blurry still image

[@raccoon681]

That bastered

[@skipowl8698]

looks much better for me

[@mikepuk8224]

This version would have sold pretty good ! Nintendo should make a special anniversary cartridge of this version.

[@arkpan4x4]

Wow, Forza Motorsport, NES Edition. I want this ROM on my NES Classic Edition.

[@whac1c]

This looks INSANELY good compared to what was released

[@LthlMustang]

[@benprophet]

How did you get a copy of it was unreleased

[@DrMrProfessorPatrick]

Boooooo, this isn't Yeah Yeah Beebiss I! 😡 Just kidding, this is awesome!

[@OKeijiDragon]

What a process it must have been to reassemble the ROM from its source code. That music tho, ewwww.

[@OKeijiDragon]

@@Arjay82 ​ I mean, isn't that already obvious for any prototype of any game? It was likely upon play-testing, these placeholders turned off the executives behind the projects to have it canceled and reassigned in the first place. In an era when companies could afford to cancel NES games practically on a whim, under Nintendo of America's five-per-publisher policy in the late 1980s no less, making good first impressions while producing games mattered all the more so then. Publishers weren't just competing with Nintendo's own games or even with other publishers, they had to be selective of their own games to produce, manufacture, and put onto store shelves. Throw in a licensed property into the mix, in a post-E.T Atari world, and you have to answer to IP holders and their interests too.

[@_PatrickO]

@@OKeijiDragon lol, nothing wrong with the music. The issue would have been how lame it is. The 3d effect is nothing special, I didn't even see other cars. Then for some reason you race 2d like micromachines on a multiple mile long straight track. There was nothing special there. Neither racing style was appealing as they were. The current prototype didn't offer a race track style racing game that was appealing.

[@kxmode]

5:15 Horrible Photoshop job! 😁

[@eunagano]

Este game precisa ser lançado e vendido!!!

[@DonHrvato]

cool

[@MaskedMarvel20XX]

Good graphics but gameplay looks boring.... The Days of Thunder game they did release for NES is pretty fun

[@sociallyresponsiblexenomor7608]

I mean probably why this one was not released but that one was. Still, for preservation reasons this is fantastic.

[@SockyNoob]

Well now I see why it was cancelled. You can't take Daytona flat out! Jk

Yo can i get help on how i can construct this game please, the instuctions are unclear

[@snoopdoggdankkush9285]

anyone have a link to the rom?

Subbed Read an article about this on arstechnica .com and it brought me to this channel.

[@mdoggie82]

The music is a little grating, but the tune reminds me of Boy and his Blob.

[@netsider]

Is this the only 3D game on NES?

[@heyhonpuds]

Nope.

[@LateNightPerson]

The final game was also a 3d game

[@Choralone422]

I can see why that was not released. That game looks and sounds like a mid 80's game done by someone with fresh ideas but not the knowledge of how to get the most out of the NES in just about every way. Definitely not up to par with most of what was being released on the NES in 1990.

[@_PatrickO]

The music was perfectly fine, but ultimately is meaningless as that is easily changed. The issue is that he demoed two different racing styles. The 3d one doesn't work the way it was done and the 2d one is lame.

[@GreatistheWorld]

*it was a prototype*

[@MrNorbert1994]

This music is a sin.

[@Jac2Mac]

I am very sad you managed to get this game as I wish this ended up in the hands of a greedy collector to bitrot there and I don't like it when you save unreleased games.

[@EpicTyphlosionTV]

Sarcasm?

Thanks for the work done, but the game is boring.

[@digme721]

This game sucks....the music and the fact that stock cars do not go 248mph

[@williandenegaspinedo5568]

Umm ... I think you should be more understanding of this game , realise that there wasnt so many space like now , this is all the developers got to do magic , and with the velocity thing you say , maybe is because of the space idk .
