Days of Thunder
Commodore Amiga · 1990
About this game
Tom Cruise's film brought NASCAR racing to the masses, and Mindscape did the same for games players with this license.
If you mentally change the driver names, it can be thought of as a recreation of real NASCAR racing rather than a direct recreation of the film.

You play Cruise's Cole Trickle character (his name, like many of the others, is slightly different to that of a real NASCAR racer of the day) against your rivals on 8 tracks, based on real-life counterparts.
The races are all on ovals, although the exact lengths, corner types and gradients are varied.
This means that the ideal racing line on one track can put you into the wall on another.
Qualifying is incorporated alongside the races themselves.
From time to time you'll have to pull into the pitstop area.
When doing so, you control the five members of the pit crew.
Losing time in the pitstop will make you lose positions at the race.
The other racers, however, never pit.
The NES version has 3rd-Person perspective only.
About Commodore Amiga
The Commodore Amiga (1985) was ahead of its time technically — multitasking, custom graphics and sound chips — and built a passionate following in Europe in particular, where it rivaled and often outsold contemporary consoles. Amiga collecting today is a niche but dedicated hobby: original boxed software on floppy disk is comparatively scarce since floppies degrade, making well-preserved complete copies genuinely valuable to the right collector.
Gamevaro tracks Days of Thunder for Commodore Amiga with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Days of Thunder to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This AMIGA release dates back to 1990.
