Night Driver Description

A nighttime driving game where your headlights illuminate the posts on both sides of the road. The object is to stay on the road as long as possible without crashing. As the game progresses, however, the road becomes narrower and more winding.

Cabinet Information

There are two versions of this game:
  • Upright - A 9-inch black light is mounted above the monitor for bezel lighting.
  • Cockpit - A open fiberglass cockpit with the gear shift mounted to the right of the seat.

Cheats, Tricks, Bugs, and Easter Eggs

After 300 points you are awarded bonus time, but the score wraps around back to zero at 1000 points so it is possible to reach 300 points more than once. The expert setting is actually the easist once a player has mastered the game.
