Was this game done in hardware, or is it just new enough to be running on a microprocessor? I'm a bit too young to remember. The first arcade games I can remember are Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Moon Patrol, Dig Dug etc.
Death Race? Pretty sure it's discrete logic with no CPU. Jeri Ellsworth seemed to assume as much as well on Facebook.

I checked the schematic and I didn't see a CPU. There were cool circuits name "Scream" and "Crash". :)
