Players can drive up to 200 miles per hour (320 km/h) while navigating a tricky road course at night. Players must watch out for treacherous turns, nasty competitors, and the ever-present time limit.
Releaseedit
Midway demonstrated the game under the name Midnight Racer at the AMOA show in November 1976. It drew comparisons to Night Driver, demonstrated at the same show by Atari, Inc.. Both games are derived from the earlier German night driving video game Nürburgring 1 demonstrated at the German IMA show in Spring 1976.[4] Before release in February 1977, the game was re-branded 280 ZZZAP after the US advertising campaign for Nissan's Datsun 280Z.
Receptionedit
On the US Play Meter arcade chart, 280 ZZZAP was the year's ninth highest-grossing arcade game of 1977.[5] On the US RePlay arcade chart, it was the tenth highest-grossing arcade video game of 1977.[6] On Japan's Game Machine arcade chart, it was among the top 20 highest-grossing arcade video games of 1977.[7]
