✅ Description✅
Caves1 is an early and very simple adventure game released in 1973 and designed by Dave kaufman
The first mention of Caves, aka Caves1, aka Lost in the Caves, is from PCC May 1973, which gives a “sample transcript” of the game being played, and labels it as being by Dave Kaufman. It does not provide source code, which doesn’t appear until a special “Games” PCC publication from 1974, presumably because the game is fairly long by PCC standards.
The gameplay is simple, you’re dropped in a cavern that is numbered, with other caverns attached, and need to navigate from cavern to cavern until finding the exit. Although not clear from the transcript above, every map is in the form of a “tree”, with each cavern branching down.
Two new games named Cave2 and Cave 3, were releases, but these "sequels" developed by Dave of the Caves are not new games. they are both, scenario editors for Lost in the Caves

![FONZ [SEGA] - Arcade - (1976) First Video Game based on a TV character.](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/q4hJQbbYdXE/mqdefault.jpg "FONZ [SEGA] - Arcade - (1976) First Video Game based on a TV character.
Name: Fonz
Developer: SEGA
Year: 1976
Simulation : Not Available
Platform: Arcade
⭐
✅ Description✅
Fonz is a 1976 discrete logic motorcycle racing game produced by Sega using the character of Arthur Herbert Fonzarelli (better known as Fonzie or The Fonz) from the American television show Happy Days. It runs on the Sega Fonz hardware.
It is a re-branded version of Moto-Cross and Man T.T. Like those games, Fonz uses a three-dimensional, third-person perspective, with sprite scaling. The game also uses an 8-track player to playback sound effects, like Moto-Cross and Man T.T.
Fonz was commercially successful in North American arcades during late 1976.
The point of the game is to drive a motorcycle as fast as possible on the track without hitting other bikes or skidding off the road; the player receives 10 points per second at the slowest speed and 10 points per half-second at top speed. Passing 1000 kilometers activates extended play. The game is controlled with a motorcycle handlebar interface; players twist to throttle the engine and crashes causes force feedback on the handlebars. Sound in the game is controlled by a tape deck.
This game is the same as Man T.T. and Moto-Cross; the only difference is in the branding of the Fonz character. It is also similar to Road Race, but with motorbikes rather than cars.

The Laser Clay Shooting System (レーザークレー射撃システム) is a light gun shooting simulation game created by Nintendo in 1973. The game consisted of an overhead projector which displayed moving targets behind a background; players would fire at the targets with a rifle, in which a mechanism of reflections would determine whether or not the laser shot from the rifle hit the target.

Space Race is an arcade game developed by Atari, Inc. and released on July 16, 1973. It was the second game by the company after Pong (1972), which marked the beginning of the commercial video game industry. In the game, two players each control a rocket ship, with the goal of being the first to move their ship from the bottom of the screen to the top. Along the way are asteroids, which the players must avoid. Space Race was the first racing arcade video game and the first game with a goal of crossing the screen while avoiding obstacles.

Developer: Midway
Year: 1976

Platform: Arcade
⭐
✅ Description✅
Tornado Baseball is a baseball arcade game which was released by Midway Games in 1976; it runs on an Intel 8080 microprocessor (running at 1.9968 MHz), and was one of the first baseball games to have a lot of players on the field simultaneously. As with Gun Fight, this is a two-player title, and both players will play on the same $0.25 - the pitching player must use one 8-way joystick to select one of eight different pitches, while using a second 2-way joystick, to move the outfielders left and right. The batting player, however, may only use one button to swing his bat; both players will also be using the same set of controls, and they will have to shift left or right every time three outs occur. The number of innings you will receive for one coin depends on how the cabinet is set, but if it is less than nine, you will have to insert another coin if you want to continue with the remaining ones.
This is the first game in the Midway Baseball series. It was followed up by three sequels: Double Play (1977), Extra Inning (1978), and Extra Bases (1980) (the last of which was presented in colour, given that it ran on Midways Astrocade hardware); because Extra Bases also came in a cocktail cabinet as opposed to an upright, the screen would flip to face the pitching player each time three outs occurred.

Gran Trak 10 is an arcade game developed by Atari through its subsidiary Cyan Engineering, and released by Atari in May 1974. In the game, a single player drives a car along a race track, viewed from above, trying to pass as many checkpoints as possible before time runs out. The game is controlled with a steering wheel, accelerator and brake pedals, and a gear stick. Gran Trak 10 began development in late 1973; it was initially designed by Larry Emmons of Cyan, with the mechanical design handled by Eigen Systems, though after several design and production problems were uncovered during an initial small production run in March 1974 the design was overhauled by Allan Alcorn, the designer of Pong, with wider distribution beginning in May. The games circuits include possibly the first instance of integrated circuit-based read-only memory (ROM). Gran Trak 10 was developed during a time of several internal changes at Atari; as a result communication problems led Atari to not accurately track the expense of manufacturing the game. It was initially sold to distributors for a net loss of US$100 per cabinet; placing Atari in financial difficulties. The game itself was successful, and led to several versions of the game being produced in 1974 by Atari and its subsidiary Kee Games, including a smaller cabinet version titled Trak 10 and a two-player version titled Gran Trak 20, as well as numerous later racing games. Gran Trak 10 was the first arcade car racing game.
