Dynamic Trial 7 was a 1993 arcade game developed by Toaplan. It was a vertical racing game where the PCBs could be linked for a multiplayer experience of up to four players. Players could select seven types of cars with their own unique racer, and use power-ups to impede the opponents' progress.

History

Dynamic Trial 7 was developed by Toaplan in late 1993 and was heavily advertised in magazines, but the feedback at location tests and events wasn't well enough for it to be released in arcades. When @GoldWing1992 on Twitter brought the game up to Tomonobu Kagawa (graphic designer for Truxton II), he stated that Naoki Ogiwara was involved in the graphic design. It is not currently known who made the music for Dynamic Trial 7.

Availability

In June 2016, arcade PCB collector Eric "ShouTime" Chung acquired a Dynamic Trial 7 PCB, and posted a few photos and a video of the demo. However, his copy was silently put on hold and not dumped. Following the exA-Arcadia lawsuit debacle at the end of 2021, that copy won't be leaking any time soon, so only time will tell if anyone else acquires and publicly dumps a Dynamic Trial 7 PCB.

At the Toaplan fansite Shooting Star, someone by the name of "Mr. Kakiuchi" provided a sticker of a limited edition Dynamic Trial 7 certificate congratulating players of the game.
