    Wow, this was absolutely fascinating. Being born in 1982 in Germany where arcades were very rare and the time of these vintage electromechanical arcade machines was already over, I only saw one of these machines in a kinda run-down amusement park in the Netherlands once (Sega Moto Champ) a couple of years ago and was instantly fascinated. It´s a bit of a shame that so many people know about Pong and Space Invaders, yet these old machines are so unknown. The night run was stunning :)

    Ah the memories. I use to own one back in the 80′s in a bulk buy. Sold it off for $40.00 and of course now wished I’d hung on to it.

    I loved this game as a kid. The graphic of the racer was taken from a famous picture of Joel Robert, a World Champion MX racer from the late 60s/early 70s. Do a google image search on “joel robert cz 360 twin” to see the pic.

    Likewise, Steve. I remember electro/optical/mechanical games very vaguely, too, so seeing one in action is a real treat (and assures me that I didn’t dream/hallucinate them). And, yeah, it’s a shame that there’s so little information to be found.

    Keinart, thanks for the upload! What an amazing game…

    What a great video.
    I’ve been quite fascinated with these machines for years, having very vague memories of playing them when I was 4 or 5 years old.
    It’s very hard to find much info on them, much less quality videos, so thanks hugely for posting this.
