Robot Hunting....interesting. I guess what 'any' dumped should be the pcbs that rolled off assembly line when Robot Hunting cabs were marketed then for European market.

Notice how the Robot Hunting has a different sound effect when a robot/target is hit by either player 1 or player 2 cars?

And then listen to sounds from an actual Exidy Death Race cab when a 'ghoul/zombie' is hit by either player 1 or player 2 cars.

Two different pseudo-scream sound effects.

I will guess that the audio scream sound effects are different between Robot Hunting versus Exidy Death Race because the discrete components and circuitry are different between the two games....Or maybe Robot Hunting has same scream sound effect just like actual Exidy Death Race pcb and the video that any took shows the Robot Hunting pcb not generating the "scream" sound efect because the parts for the discrete audio effects on the Robot Hunting pcb need to be replaced/repaired.

At least Exidy Death Race logic schematics are around, but it would be interesting if any or someone else can compare the discrete component layout between Death Race pcb versus Robot Hunting pcb.

That would be ideal if Robot Hunting logic schematics were available, but I bet those are just as hard to find these days just like logic schematics for many of the Meadows games.

btw: A video clip shows a simulated Death Race game. I forget if the simulation was from Dave Widel's Death Race project years earlier. It is good quality and my guess is this was from dwidel years earlier when he had his web page online then. He is a fan of Death Race.
