The sides of the cabinet have flashy, dark blue racing graphics.Cabinet Style Weights and Measures
Cheats, Tricks, Bugs, and Easter EggsHINT: Collect the screwdrivers at all costs. They seriously extend your lifespan.HINT: At the start of each round, all the cars begin with their trunks facing each other. When the cars begin moving, all the vehicles ram each other at top speed. You need to wait half a second and steer a little to the right before backing up full throttle. This will send you into the radiator of the car to your right for a big score and it will likely become a candidate for the first loser of the round. As you progress through the game, the "garage girl" (who appears between each level) shows a little bit more of her entire body. Game PlayDriving your car in reverse allows you to attack cars without damaging your radiator. Keep your radiator near the walls when not attacking. Collect wrenches and screwdrivers for repairs. Running over loose tires can make them fly in the air and damage other cars.VAPS Arcade/Coin-Op Demolition Derby CensusThere are 7,852 members of the Video Arcade Preservation Society / Vintage Arcade Preservation Society, 6,531 whom participate in our arcade census project of games owned, wanted, or for sale.

TechnicalBally Midway produced two different versions of the boardset; one is their standard MCR III platform that ran most of their early 1980's games and the other fits into the mono board series. The manual for the 2-player upright specifies information for both types. The game uses a Turbo Cheap Squeak to generate additional sound effects.Foto-Finder™ (books)
