MotoRace USA (also known as Traverse USA, in Japan as Zippy Race,[a] and in Spain as Mototour) is a racing video game developed and released in arcades by Irem in 1983. In North America, it was released by Williams Electronics. Cabinet art was done by Larry Day and Bruce Schafernak of Advertising Posters in Chicago. The player controls a racer who must travel on a motorcycle from Los Angeles to New York City. The game was ported to the SG-1000 home console in March 1984,[5] and the Family Computer in 1985. An updated version of the game was announced for the Intellivision Amico, but never released.[6][7]
