From Wikipedia:

Ivan “Ironman” Stewart’s Super Off Road is an arcade video game released in 1989 by Leland Corporation. The game was designed and managed by John Morgan who was also lead programmer, and endorsed by professional off-road racer Ivan Stewart.

The arcade features racing action for three players, with full-sized steering wheels. Shatter was apparently chosen to visualize the vibrations one experiences during dirt track racing. See also the Death Riders movie poster and the Brother Moto Flat-Trackin’ Tee for other motorsport-related uses of the classic Letraset face by Vic Carless.
