✅ Description✅
Night Driver is an arcade video game developed by Atari, Inc. and released in the United States in October 1976. It's one of the earliest first-person racing video games and is commonly believed to be one of the first published video games to feature real-time first-person graphics. Night Driver has a black and white display with the hood of the player's car painted on a plastic overlay. The road is rendered as scaled rectangles representing "pylons" that line the edges.
Two arcade cabinet styles were manufactured: upright and sit-down. The upright version has a blacklight installed inside the cabinet which illuminated the bezel.[5][6]
Atari published a color version for the Atari Video Computer System in 1980.

![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.
