Play Days of Thunder Online
You're Cole Trickle, wrestling a tiny car around tight ovals—mess up a turn and you're kissing the wall. The real drama? Frantically directing your pit crew while the AI zooms past, tires screaming.
Game Overview
Days of Thunder on Game Boy takes the NASCAR vibe from the Tom Cruise movie and turns it into a surprisingly solid racing game. You play as Cole Trickle (basically Cruise’s character with a slightly tweaked name), racing on eight tracks that mimic real-life ovals—each with its own quirks. Some have tight turns that’ll send you into the wall if you’re not careful, while others let you push the speed a bit more.
What’s weirdly fun is managing pit stops—you control all five crew members, and if you’re slow, you’ll lose positions fast. The catch? The AI racers never pit, so you’re always playing catch-up. It’s not the deepest racer, but nailing the perfect line while keeping an eye on your tires gives it some real tension.
Just don’t expect fancy camera angles—it’s all third-person, no frills. But for a licensed game from this era, it holds up better than most.
