Spy hunter and an early demo derby

     Although much more arcade style than sims, i need to give recognition to two of my favorite
games from ten or twelve years ago...
     One was definitely Spy Hunter... the stand-up arcade version ate many a quarter, and the
(4-color?) PC version ran on my IBM XT until the disk basically wore right through!  I think
i'd be happy if they simply spruced up the graphics and used the same game engine and re-released
this classic...
     The other game was only in arcades, in particular, a Pantera's Pizza in C***te, NC...
I only saw it at this one location, and I don't even know what company made the game.  It was
a demolition derby game, given in the same perspective and scale as Mickey thompson's OffRoad...
possible even made by the same company...this game was great; with the same goals as offroad,
win each race and collect points and (wrenches?) to fix your car up... and great graphics for
the day.
     Anyone else remember these?

I own a Demoliton Derby arcade game. It was made in 1985 by Bally/Midway
and comes in 2-player standup and 4-player table models. There are six
cars in the first round and eight in the ones after that. You can collect
keys(5000 points), screwdrivers(instant car repair 10%), and
wrenches(repair after the race 10%). By hitting people hard and often, you
would get more repairs after the race. Hpoe this helps.

oohh! I am jealous. Don't suppose you want to sell that puppy? Did not
think so.
