Sand Buggy (サンド・バギー) is a 1972 electro-mechanical racing game by Sega Enterprises, Ltd. Players drive over sand dunes and hazards, covering as much distance as possible in the time allowed. When the player has an accident, the car lifts and holds for three seconds. The cabinet is similar to that of Stunt Car (1970).
Sand Buggy was priced at ¥340,000 with the background music unit, or ¥330,000 without it.[1] The background music system included electronic sound and an 8-track player. The music unit could be purchased separately for an unknown price.[2]
It was the second electronic game to feature the use of music after Jumbo (1969), where Sega used the same 8-track music system. While Jumbo played circus music, Sand Buggy played surf rock music, making it the first use of rock music in an electronic game.
