About the game

Death Race (1976) for Arcade takes its place in the VG90 index as one more thread in the story of the first wave of arcade and home gaming, kept here for readers researching the period.

The years around 1976 belonged to the first wave of arcade and home gaming, when cabinets and the earliest home systems were still teaching players what a video game could be. VG90 groups titles like this one by era and platform so those connections are easy to trace.

Why it matters

The value of a record like this is context: the first wave of arcade and home gaming produced far more games than the handful everyone remembers, and cabinets and the earliest home systems were still teaching players what a video game could be. An archive earns its keep by preserving the long tail, not just the hits.
