It's a worse situation for Derby owners club compared to Galaxian3. Derby owners club machines was scrapped due to cards no longer made. If someone sits down and tries to play the machine with no card…it just hangs and freezes. The DoC machine needs cards.
You can do some "fan mods" to get the machine to run without cards, but it wasn’t feasible for commercial arcades that need reliable machines. Not machines with janky mods.
Sigh. It's a great game. But The game lost its touch from the early 2000’s when it was mostly drinkers, smokers, and under the table betters playing it. It was such a unique era. I suspect Sega made the machine reliant the cards to function as a way to control the market. If they made the cards only optional, then no one would buy the cards and Sega wouldn't earn money.
