Cruis'n Exotica DescriptionA cool driving game that features several tracks including one that has dinosaurs and several different cars including an old rusty chevrolet station wagon.Know anything more about this game? Cabinet InformationUses a telephone keypad for creating, accessing, and saving individual Player information. Simuliar to San Francisco Rush 2049 by Atari Games/Midway WestCheats, Tricks and BugsA free Game can be earned every 10000 miles if you have a personalized record. Like the San Francisco Rush series, shortcuts can be found on each track. Holding View 2 down during track selection reveals two hidden tracks.FREE GAME If you double tap the accelerator after a game and the scores roll, during the option to enter more credits, you will add credits. Me and a Friend in a second machine were able to do this aprox. 5 times on each machine in a row and contiue racing each other without adding any quaters! I know this works on the machine were I am, but I'm not sure if it is a wiring glitch or a testing feature, please verify. I'm assuuming this comes from the ability in game to double tap the accelerator to do a wheelie and do flips off other cars. Car selection cheat: by pressing the view buttons you can select between the available six cars add an aditional twelve cars (low view), the color of the car (chase view), and the person in the car (high view). If you cycle through this once you will see all the characters, on the second cycle their heads will be oversized (Clown, Baby, Blonde Lady, Guy with crew cut, etc., but not in that order). Game IntroductionThis game is simuliar to Cruisi'n USA and Cruis'n World except that you race in different locations throughout the universe. One such location is the Atlantis track which is probably the first underwater racecourse offered in a video game. The Mars track might also be another first with its interplanetary race track. The game is slightly easier than its predecessors and uses Midway's Zeus 2 hardware.Game PlayThe object of the game is to race through twelve tracks spanning earth, underwater, and on Mars. There are newer cars and drivers including a clown and an alien (In Robotic Voice : "RIGHT ON DUDE!").MiscellaneousLICENSOR: NintendoVAPS Arcade CensusGAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETYUncommon - There are 6 known instances of Cruis'n Exotica owned by one of our 900 members.

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. TechnicalSOUND: Zeus 2 hardwareTriviaIn the Las Vegas race, when you pass under the Elvis impersonater, he looks a bit like Nintendo's 1981 cash cow Donkey Kong in an Elvis suit. And you can also hear an Elvis Guitar Style rendition of the Donkey Kong theme for a few seconds. This was an addition by Nintendo and very few players catch this.eBay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the Cruis'n Exotica Videogame machine and items related to it.Click here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for machines and parts made by Midway.
