LOVE the Speed Race. Classic. I remember spending my $1.00 per week pocket money on it at the local Safeways whilst mum was shopping.
Would love to get one again!

No its not my room/shed actually its my fathers car yard in NZ. Machines have since been moved to a storage facility. Speed race was working all ok last time I powered it up. #*#

Speed race is a classic, I have all three
Speed Race - this one in the pic &
Speed Race twin - very rare 2 player version &
Speed Race CL5 - 1980's upright version with colour monitor & rev counter.
Over the years I've focused my coin-op collection to mainly vintage driving games, so if any AP members have any leads on vintage arcade driving games please keep me in mind.

Some nice toys there hope you can get them over here real soon

That Spacies upright is VERY nice. Is it original and working ?
-
Wow! nice old games, classics!!
While we're on about driving games, does anyone remember a VERY early driving game that was black+white screen?
You drove a solid-white car, something like a mini-minor from above, and had to change between 2 lanes to dodge other cars (which were just white outlines) and the odd oil-spill in each lane....
This was the FIRST video game any of us in our area ever saw, even before space invaders? (B+W).
I remember the cabinet being sort of tall like the space-invaders (shown above), but without that cover screen.
I think there was also a 2-speed gear shift, marked "Hi" - "Lo", although that may have been on the 2nd version i saw??
( i remember later ones having 3 or 4 gears etc, way too complicated for me back then hehehe).
anyone?

I do remember one where you had to go around the screen following a track which had other cars and obstacles including oil spills. It was black and white and the steering wheel was able to turn continuously (no stop point).
But I don't think it is the same as the one you are thinking of.

I recall that one too, it was almost a plain loop on the screen, with a slight elbow-kink here'n'there and u do laps etc.
That may have been a follow-on from the earlier vertical-scrolling (2 lane) game that i'm thinking of.
The game i played was the first videogame to ever appear in our shopping centre, or anywhere local to us.
It took many months for the crowd to die off before me & my schoolmates got to play it.
( the older guys hogged it for ages).
It cost 10c to play, you had 3 crashes until game-over, and it was woodgrain cabinet, with an endless spinning wheel as AJ mentioned.
Oddly enough, for it's age, it didnt have boxy low-resolution graphics, in fact it was quite smooth and rounded detail on the car bodies and oil spills etc.....
It was NOTHING like the square-boxy graphics on your home TV-Tennis game (square ball, rectangle bats etc).
something to think about...

Very nice collection of games ^^^

Marty - I vaguely recall the Mini Minor game - it was an Atari from memory
AJ - you are thinking of either "Sprint 1", "Grand Trak 10" or "Le Mans".

Not working, but 100% original as imported into NZ,

Sorry, but I have no idea what it was called, I just remembered a bit about it when the other game was mentioned.
