Dynamic Trial 7 was a 1993 arcade game that didn't get released. It was a top-down, vertical racing game where the PCBs could be linked for a multiplayer experience of up to four players. In the game, the player could select seven types of cars with their own unique racer, and could use power-ups to impede the opponents' progress.
History
Dynamic Trial 7 was developed by Toaplan, with some of the graphics being done by Tomonobu Kagawa, who had done some art for their previous game Truxton 2 (Tatsujin Oh). D-T 7 was previewed in magazines and heavily advertised, but the feedback was lukewarm at the location test, causing it to be shelved. When @GoldWing1992 on Twitter brought the game up to Kagawa, he felt bad about D-T 7 not being released.
Availability
In June 2016, arcade PCB collector Eric "ShouTime" Chung found a Dynamic Trial 7 PCB and uploaded screenshots of the game to his Tumblr, along with a video of the attract mode a few days later. However, his copy has not been dumped and added to MAME, and most likely never will be dumped following ShouTime's departure from working for MAME developers to exA-Arcadia in 2021.
At the Toaplan fansite Shooting Star, a "Mr. Kakiuchi" provided a sticker of a limited edition certificate for players of Dynamic Trial 7.
