Night Driver Description

A nighttime driving game where your headlights illuminate the posts on both sides of the road. The object is to stay on the road as long as possible without crashing. As the game progresses, however, the road becomes narrower and more winding.

Cabinet Information

There are two versions of this game:
  • Upright - A 9-inch black light is mounted above the monitor for bezel lighting.
  • Cockpit - A open fiberglass cockpit with the gear shift mounted to the right of the seat.

Cheats, Tricks and Bugs

After 300 points you are awarded bonus time, but the score wraps around back to zero at 1000 points so it is possible to reach 300 points more than once. The expert setting is actually the easist once a player has mastered the game.

For Sale - There are 2 VAPS members with Night Driver machines for sale. VAPS members are totally independent of VAPS and the International Arcade Museum, and we are unable to recommend, endorce, or guarantee any person or company selling games or game parts.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.
