Road Racer

Description

A typical driving game of the era. It's made of a drum with a road that rotates through desert scene as the player manuvers his diecast "Tootsie Car" down the curves in the highway using a full sized automobile steering wheel. There is a contact on the bottom of the car that needs to stay in contact with contacts that run along the center of the road. Each time the two contacts touch, a LOUD bell rings and your score needle moves up one notch. Steer off the road and the needle stays idle. Hit only one contact and a knocker sounds. A great game as there is always room to improve your score.
