Trivia Speed race, Western gun, Interceptor, Space Invaders and Lunar Rescue were all made by the same author, Tomohiro Nishikado of Taito.
Tomohiro made two electromechanical machine at Taito. Super Road 7 (1970) and Sky fighter II (1971). He then made them into video games afterwards. Super Road 7 became Speed Race. Sky Fighter II became Interceptor.
Taito partnered with Midway in those days. Midway added a shift lever and the timer to Speed Race. The next year, Taito added these new features to Speed Race and released it as Speed Race DX (1975).
Tomohiro was inspired by the electromechanical game Gunfight (1970) from Sega, to make Western Gun (1975). Midway (Nutting) remade it in the name of the Gunfight (1975).
