#DailyRetroGame 248: Indianapolis 500 (1989)

The clue was in the subtitle with this one: The Simulation. Indi wasn’t about arcade larks – instead, you tweaked your car and blazed around the famous oval for anything up to 200 laps. That is, assuming you could survive the AI – or the temptation to drive into other cars and gleefully watch a smashy action replay from a range of angles. Pioneering stuff.

Play it on: #PC, #Amiga

@craiggrannell @ChinnyVision seriously good control via mouse as well. Not afraid to embrace longer races too.

Craig, have you done a #DailyRetroGame covering Links386 yet?
I haven’t seen it, but also haven’t checked every one of your posts…

@peteralee I’m fairly sure Leaderboard is the only golf game I’ve recovered so far. Well, if you don’t count Ninja Golf. :)
