Gameplay

Arcade screenshot

Indy Heat featured four-player capability, and was similar in gameplay to Super Off Road. Players earned money based on their race finishing positions, which was spent on improving their car. The race season culminated with the Tradewest Speed Bowl, which loosely resembled the Indianapolis 500.

Tracks

There are 9 tracks in the arcade version. The NES version features an extra track called Tradewest, named after the publisher of the NES version.

Ports

The arcade game was later ported by Rare and published by Tradewest for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1992. Indy Heat was the third NES game to be released that featured an American indy car driver, the others were Al Unser Jr.'s Turbo Racing and Michael Andretti's World GP. As well as the NES, the game was also ported by The Sales Curve for the Commodore Amiga and the Atari ST the same year. Due to Danny Sullivan's promotion expiring, the racing game was released for the latter simply as "Indy Heat".
