International Arcade Museum® — Killer List of Videogames®

Dec 27-31, 2024 Year End Appeal: The Museum of the Game and The International Arcade Museum Library both launched great initiatives in 2024, but each is spending more doing so than they bring in. We're asking for your direct support for the New Year, as we'd like to sustain our momentum in 2025! Learn More

We are asking you to reflect on how valuable you find our offerings, whether you believe in arcade, coin-op, and video-game preservation, and whether you would be able to give at least $5. If you have given in the past and we still provide you with value, please kindly donate again. If you have never contributed, please consider joining our efforts today. If everyone reading this gave just $5, we'd be well on our way to reaching our goals. All that matters is that you choose to support our preservation efforts. Every contribution helps, whether it's $2 (a common first donation), $5 (the most common donation amount), $12 (the average), $20, $50, $100, or more.

Game Play

First, choose your vehicle: a sedan, a station wagon, or a truck. Then select a course and race through the roads of Japan, The United States, or Europe. Drive through city streets, highways, and winding country roads. Race to reach checkpoints and earn bonus time. Avoid pedestrians and obstacles that suddenly appear. Accidents will cause you to lose time and have your ratings go down. You must also look out for cops and speed traps. After the game, your driving skills are analyzed and displayed. Your driving is evaluated on your reflexes, desire, style, courage, manners and IQ.
