Someone save this Williams cabinet from conversion!!!

I don't think I have ever seen this before!

The game is made by Irem, just like Moon Patrol. I love everything about this!

I love how the perspective changes. The Vegas stage is very cool!

That game would be good for the hard core Williams collectors... I really like the way they look, but could never justify the space for one...
 
I've heard from multiple collectors that the gameplay positively blows...
 
It's a terrible game.. Hands down.. And I'm a huge Williams fan.. These pop up every once in a while.. There was one in CT for sale on CL not to long ago.. $500 is stupid money.. It's a $100-200 game all day long..

Many of these were converted over the years.. Cause they suck balls
 
Boy, Irem was about 1 for 10, weren't they? Dirt bike theme has major appeal for me, I love the cab art, but its not a very fun game.

Works great in MAME, you need the Irem parent ROM (Traverse USA) to play the Williams version.
 
I have one. The gameplay is OK. I imagine if I tweaked the options to give a novice player (like me) a fighting chance it could be more playable. They don't show up often but are usually $200 or so. I got mine as a deal sweetener when I bought my last Sinistar because it was dead. New power supply and it runs like a ........ MotoRace USA.

I like it. It's simplistic, but not without it's charms. I like the forced perspective "bonus round" portion, that looks cool.

I admit it doesn't seem like something Williams should have released, though. I know Irem created it, Williams just licensed and manufactured it, but when compared to other Williams' titles like Defender/Stargate, Joust, Robotron, Sinistar, Bubbles, even Moon Patrol (which Irem also authored) Motorace USA is the "odd man out", not worthy of the Williams name.

It seems more like a Rock-Ola or Centuri title.

The art is awesome though, and the marquee looks especially sharp.

Kyle :cool:
 
6 hours each way and way to high a price for that game.

Maybe he will PM to his senses and someone here can get the game for a reasonable price.
