Night Rider (ナイトライダー) is a 1970 electro-mechanical arcade motorcycle racing game created by Sega Enterprises, Ltd.
Players race a motorcycle down a dark, black-lit track screen trying to avoid obstacles. When the player crashes, the cycle is flipped over. Night Rider has two modes: novice and expert. The game features light-up road signs and a solid-state sound system with three sounds.
It was displayed on a screen from a first-person perspective, and was an electro-mechanical precursor to the 1976 arcade racing video games Road Race, Fonz, Moto-Cross, Man T.T. and Night Driver.
