ThunderWheels is a racing game with a classic top-down racing perspective plus third and first person view, realistic physics and really fun circuits!
This game brings new fresh air to great racing games made in the 80's for arcade, Commodore 64 & PC platforms, we love the feeling and ambiance of arcade games in that era, imagine summer hot, sunset light, palm trees, small cars, races and old school video game music. That is what we want to give you with this game. We update the game constantly with new content!

I've only had this game for a short while, but it's turned out to be everything I'd hoped for. Anyone who has played the dubiously named "Skidmarks" on the Amiga will know what to expect. The physics are very dodgy indeed - as they should be in this type of game - and under my control the poor cars go flying off in all directions. So far I've had around five races on the easy level and have come last in every one of them - but that's because I'm useless at this type of game and not the game's fault! I'm sure there are people around who would be able to ramp up the difficulty level and still win every time - but personally, I'm still having fun rolling my vehicle all over the place and coming last. Right - I'm going to stop writing, switch the difficulty level down to "very easy" and have another go. In the meantime, do yourself a nostalgic favour and click "Buy Now"!!!

A 3D multi-camera and cool physics remake of the retro-classic "super off road" car racing arcade videogames. The car driving is good and the different cameras create a new experience compared with the old top-view gameplay. Retro graphics and music. Fun to play with other mates in the same keyboard. the AI is decent. It could be nice to have the online!. I would recommend it if you enjoyed off-road.

I've only played for an hour so far but I already recommend this game. It brought me back in time to the arcade where I used to play "Ironman Super Off Road" and "Super Sprint". The gameplay and physics of the cars are really well balanced, AI seems difficult to beat on the first races but is trully challenging and you can see that it's fair, for instance you can crash into the AI (and you will) and the AI can crash into your car and you can see that the AI has no advantage whatsoever. The game is still in early access and you can see that there's a lack of content to extend the life of the game but is something I hope will come with the time before it is released. It will be nice to have items in the line of the avobe mentioned arcade games (oil puddles, spanners, etc.). Maybe some kind of challenge system will be also nice to have. ---- Con lo poco que llevo jugado ya puedo decir que recomiendo el juego, me a transportado de vuelta al salĂłn recreativo donde jugaba al "Ironman Su...

Nothing like the 80's game! Played it for half an hour and hate it! The old game gave you in game prizes and prize money to upgrade your vehicle. Have not seen it up to now! Please tell me later on you can upgrade your vehicle. If no upgrades, then I am sorry to say, not worth it, won't play it any longer!

It feels like skidmarks with no skidmarks lol, original super off road a 30 year old game is better.

+ Cars are sluggish. + Xbone controller's analog stick understeers loads, dpad oversteers load. + Menus are awful to navigate. + Couldn't quit my last race, had to finish. + Snow/green/mud/sand doesn't seem to make much of a difference. + Music was way too loud. No individual sound sliders. In short: not as fun as "Ironman" Stewart's Super Off Road

I really expected to find more items, there's only a nitro boost that you can use from time to time. It's just a rather vanilla one-screen racing game right now, I hope it evolves into something deeper before the final release.

A must have for any Steam Library! This is my goto game for a quick play with friends. This game is a lot of fun. First races are quite hard, but you learn how to drive your vehicle fast and in no time you will be winning some races, but don't expect to make it to the top of a season without a lot of trainning. The driving is well calibrated, making the control quite easy once you are used to the physics of your vehicle, but mastering each car takes a long time. AI is good enough to make every race challenging but not impossible (I haven't tried the Hard Mode, not there yet with my driving). The game is still in early access, but I haven't found any bug so far, although, I wish it gets updated with more tracks soon. I can´t wait for the Online to be available.

Great game. Obviously a modern version of Ivan "Ironman" Stewart's Super Off Road. The workshop and ongoing support makes me feel like this game will only get better. Relatively simple, but fair racing.
