About the Game


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!
