Monaco GP Description

An overhead driving game where you try to beat the clock. During the game a player is given an unlimited number of cars (lives). Extended play is awarded once a player's score reaches a certain amount.

Cabinet Information

The cockpit version has a very impressive sound system and it even includes a working tachometer. Both the mini and cockpit machines use an LED display for top scores and time countdown.

Cheats, Tricks, Bugs, and Easter Eggs

The driver starts with 90 seconds. If he earns 2000 points before that, he can keep driving without a timer, until two crashes occur.

Game Introduction

A player receives points based upon how fast the car is traveling. About eight points per second are awarded for being in low gear with the accelerator fully depressed while 25 points per second are received for being in high gear with the pedal in the same position.

Game Play

The goal is to beat the clock. The player basically has an unlimited number of cars, but it is nearly impossible to reach extended play except using high gear and not crashing.

This game ranks a 25 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most often seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on census ownership records.

This game ranks a 7 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most often wanted, 1=least common) in popularity based on census want list records.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. [More Information]

Technical

The game does not use a main processor. Supposedly it is entirely logic gates. The game's wiring harness is a rats-nest since there are many boards used for the game.
