Danny Sullivan's Indy Heat (NES) Playthrough

A playthrough of Tradewest's 1992 racing game for the NES, Danny Sullivan's Indy Heat.

I play through two full loops of the game. After finishing the 12-lap Tradewest Speedway, the game always loops back to the first track, so there's no ending.

Taking a page from Ivan "Ironman" Stewart's Super Off-Road (   • Ironman Ivan Stewart's Super Off-Road (NES...  ) released two years prior, Rare's port of Danny Sullivan's Indy Heat once again nails the fun and the spirit of classic arcade overhead racers. It looks, sounds, and plays great, just as you'd hope from a 1992 NES release.

Even more than Super Off-Road, it'll keep you endlessly busy as you devise strategies to beat the CPU. Danny is a total douchebag that makes no attempt to hide the fact that he cheats mercilessly. Pit stops? Danny scoffs at the thought. Limited turbo boosts? Danny laughs at those lowly peons who have to budget powerups.

No matter how much you upgrade your car, he will always be faster than you, so the best way to play is to not pull any punches and to treat each race like a demolition derby. Use turbos to rear-end him and make his car catch fire. If he's in front of you at a pit stop, knock the car off of the jack stands - you might even flatten a few members of his pit crew while you're at it!

And like all of these sorts of games, the real fun comes with multiplayer. With a group of friends and some beer, Indy Heat makes for a great evening.
