Speed Race DX

About

Speed Race DX is a classic arcade racer where you steer a simple car through a top-down track, earning points by passing slower vehicles. Played on a larger cabinet than its predecessor, it adds a gear shift lever for manual control and a timer to track your progress. The mechanics are straightforward but demand steady hands, slippery road surfaces and tight turns make it easy to spin out. High scores come from consistency, not speed alone. The game’s legacy lies in its hardware tweaks. The added gear shift and timer set it apart from earlier versions, giving players more tactile feedback. Despite its 1975 release, it remains a staple of early arcade history, with a 7.8/10 rating on the Arcade Museum. Fans of no-frills racing might find it nostalgic, but modern players should expect a brief, repetitive experience.
