Official description

TV’S HOTTEST NAME.
YOUR HOTTEST GAME.
TV has made FONZ one of the best know names in America today. Now SEGA has made it possible for those 42 million FONZ fans to spend a quarter and literally become their motorcycle hero
in an action-packed race. Ride with FONZ and you’ll know why the game will be your hottest attraction. Because the player experiences all the sensations and competition. Even the sounds are authentic.
The object is to maintain as high a speed as possible without hitting the other racing bikes on the screen or skidding off the edge of the road. Turn the handlebars, and you corner and bank with
startling realism. Twist the hand throttle open, and you accelerate along with the rising scream of your high compression engine. Collide with another bike — the handlebars vibrate and the TV screen
flashes a reverse image. Scoring with FONZ is beautifully simple: 10 points per second at the slowest speed; 10 points every half-second at top speed. A crack-up costs 3 seconds of no-score. If the total score goes above 1000 kilometres, the extended play lamp goes on— and so does the player. To increase the challenge, the size of the bikers can be regulated by the operator. Game time is adjustable from 45 to 100 seconds. What about reliability? You’ll rarely have to futz with FONZ. It’s made in America by SEGA, the people who design games that can take it as well as dish it out. Ask your SEGA Distributors about FONZ. You’ll love the answers.

• Realistic imagery. Both road and bikes are seen in true perspective so that objects nearest the bottom of the screen (closest to player) are larger than those on the horizon or top of the screen.
• Handlebars function identically to those of a real motorcycle.
• Full range speakers produces all racing sounds with realistic impact.
• SEGA-built solid state electronics assure maximum reliability and ease of servicing.

Editor note

CAUTION

In this aspect, a serious investigation was carried out; the source, of course, from THE ARCADE HISTORY, is wrong in indicating that Gremlin distributed the video game, however regarding the release dates it is correct.
It is important to note that many serious pages incorrectly indicate the same thing, regarding the distribution, but they are wrong.

At this point, most "specialized" pages make the mistake of indicating that this video game was distributed by Gremlin, however there is no graphic evidence of that. SEGA distributed this game directly, and not through its American subsidiary.
