Editor note

A playable version of this game was recovered after a disk labled "Hot Rod Taxi" was found in the belongings of Chris Oberth. This paticular game was in pieces in multiple encrypted hard drive backups spread accross 40 disks. His family has allowed the recovered source code to be added to github. The public source code is not complete but missing code has been reconstructed or new code substituted. Minor bugs have also been fixed Some missing documentation has not been completed. It is a an NES game based on the Days of Thunder movie developed for Mindscape. Mindscape opted to use Beam Software instead and another Days of Thunder game was the version that got published. The github source code package includes everything needed to compile an iNES file (.nes) under MS-DOS (or DOSBox) for use on emulators.

No license has been coupled with the source code, the compiled binaries (ROM chip data), nor any file form of the binaries. It remains proprietary.
