Indy 800

About

Indy 800 is a two-player racing game from 1975 that puts you behind the wheel of a virtual speedster. Compete head to head on a track that demands quick reflexes and precise steering. The controls are physical, each cabinet has two wheels and four pedals, making it one of the earliest arcade games to let two players race simultaneously. The goal is simple: overtake your opponent and reach the finish line first. The gameplay is fast, raw, and built for competitive fun. What makes it stick out is the cabinet itself. It’s a massive box with monitors mounted at the top, designed for you to look down while racing. The 25-inch color screen was rare at the time, ditching overlays for true RGB display. By today’s standards it’s basic, but in 1975 it was a big deal. It’s a piece of arcade history that still feels surprisingly engaging, especially if you want to challenge a friend.
