Ironman Offroad Racing (Ivan ‘Ironman’ Stewart’s Super Off Road) is an arcade off-road racing game released on the NES in 1989 by Virgin Games. Players pilot stadium trucks across dirt circuits filled with jumps, mud pits, and tight turns, earning prize money to upgrade their vehicle between races.

How to Play

Race your truck around single-screen tracks against three rival drivers over multiple laps. Collecting power-ups scattered on the track and finishing high earns money to spend on top speed, acceleration, tires, and extra Nitro boosts.

Controls

Steer: Arrow Keys (D-Pad)
Accelerate / Action: X (A Button)
Brake / Nitro Boost: Z (B Button)
Select / Start: Shift / Enter

Tips

Upgrade Tires First: Upgrading tire traction early keeps your truck from sliding out on sharp stadium corners and saves valuable time.
Save Nitros for Straightaways: Using Nitro on turns often slams your truck into outer walls; trigger boosts on straight sections for maximum acceleration.
Avoid Mud Puddles: Steer clear of mud pits and track obstacles whenever possible, as hitting them kills your vehicle’s forward momentum.
