Datsun 280 ZZZAP is a 1976 racing arcade game by Midway designed by Jay Fenton. It is one of the earliest games, if not the earliest, with authorized branding.[2] An unbranded version was released as Midnight Racer.[2]

Gameplay

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.
