Destruction Derby (1975 video game)

Destruction Derby is an arcade video game released by Exidy in 1975^[2] as the company's first driving game.^[3] Exidy licensed it to Chicago Coin, who sold the game as Demolition Derby (not to be confused with Demolition Derby, a 1984 game by Bally Midway). Exidy stopped producing Destruction Derby to avoid competing with the licensed version, and instead developed a game with similar mechanics: the controversial Death Race.^[3]
