Death Race Roms available?

[Amigoid]

I wondered if anyone had the rom image for the Exidy "Death Race"
game.
Thats one I'd like to add to my Mame collection; I remember playing it
back at Bells Amusement Park in Tulsa when I was a kid. They had one
of the most incredible arcade areas I'd ever seen.
If someone has the file and wouldn't mind emailing it to me, I'd
appreciate it a lot.

Sorry, no ROM for Death Race.

Unfortunately Death Race was such an early video game that it didn't
have ROM chips. The game was completely hard-wired into the large PCB
board! Check it out at the KLOV: http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?game_id=7541

Only 500 of the Death Race machines were made so they are extremely
rare and very hard to come by. But as incredible as it may seem,
someone is actually selling a working Death Race PCB board on eBay
right now: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190182398781

I used to play Death Race with my 2 younger brothers whenever we got
the chance back in the late '70s. I've always held out hope that
someone would create an emulation or clone of the game so I could play
it again...

Carmageddon was a game where you tried to run over people. I know its
no clone, but its the closest I saw come to this idea. GTA: Vice City
and other games let you run over pedestrians....

Yeah I saw that... (ebay) which is what made me ask if roms were
available. I didn't realize it was hard-coded.

You know, Carmageddon is specifically awesome. :)

But, for a similar gameplay to this (I've never played it), try the
Atari 2600 Race controller and cartridge that sold with it. It has a
"grab the block" game where you chase after it. Was really fun 2
player for my brother and I.

there actually is a death race rom for mame, though i haven't seen it around for a while. as i remember it was a hack of the ms pacman rom. it was very true to the game. the only difference i remember is the orientation of the screen. that said, good luck in finding it.
