280 ZZZAP
Appearance
Datsun 280 ZZZAP, also released unbranded as Midnight Racer,[2] is an early racing arcade game by Midway designed by Jay Fenton.
Summary
The title was named after the US advertising campaign for the Datsun 280Z. Players can drive up to 200 miles per hour (320 km/h) while navigating a tricky road course at night. Players must watch out for treacherous turns, nasty competitors, and the ever-present time limit.
It is one of the earliest games, if not the earliest, with authorized branding.[2]
