You can debate if a game is Bronze Age or Golden Age, whether Vectors can/cannot be Bronze Age, if a game with a single-chip CPU is Bronze or not, but the B&W or color question is easy and definitive: Is the game PCB producing a color image natively or only monochrome? The latter is a B&W game. Period.

Space Race is interesting one. It doesn't feel like a driver to me. I've played it several times. Seems too easy and gets boring quickly for 1-player. 2-player seems better IIRC. I don't think I could call it a driver. YMMV.


So what makes Sprint 2 better than Indy 800?
sprint 2 is better because you cannot find an Indy 800
Why is 208-ZZZAP better than Night Driver?
Nightdriver/280zap is essentially the same game, all based off another game. It's also not very good. 280zzzzzapapapappa is better because the backdrop/mirror artwork really make it a different-ish experience, enough to actually make it cool. Night Driver cabinet fucking sucks, i guess the sit down is ok, but with just the car planted on the screen it is flat and sparse. You're not, "night driving" but driving with your eyes closed.

Why is Super Bug better than Gran Trak 10?
Super Bug is cool, not sure if it is better than gran Trak 10, but more of a different game all together. It would be hard to pick between the two and both are pretty rare.
Why is Fire Truck better than Death Race?
Fire Truck is no offense, horrible. Super Bug which has the related hardware is superior, engaging and fun . Fire Truck is truly a tortuous game that in my opinion is a steaming pile of shit. In this case Death Race is the clear winner .Unique and killer
Why is Death Race better than Sprint 2?
I would choose sprint 2, I do not think it is better, again different games like Fire Truck and Death Race argument.
Why does Wheels suck? (apparently it does....nobody voted for that one. Or Wheels II.)
Not enough data, i think i've played it. i think i remembered it sucking. I also do not like stunt cycle.
What's wrong with Monte Carlo? (no love for this one either!)
Never played it
Why has nobody mentioned Tank?
Tank is ok, but if you do not have two players it becomes a paper weight.
Is Space Race a driver?
No
How about Lunar Lander? Asteroids?
No
Those are the interesting questions! I like to hear why people believe what they believe.
yeah buddy. also my fav in this list is Sprint 2 btw.
 
San Francisco Rush the Rock Alcatraz using a b/w monitor? :D

...which I realize you don't have. Hehe.
 
I love Stunt Cycle! I'm sure other drivers on the voting panel are good, too, but I've always enjoyed SC. For the 2nd year now, there is one in an arcade 1/2 hr away from me that isn't working. Such a bummer!

I was just getting ready to post this exact thing, glad I read the thread first.

Senility sucks.
