About Sprint 8
Atari released this driving game in 1977, featuring a top-down perspective of a race track. Players pilot a single car while competing against a field of eight cars on the track at all times. While some vehicles are controlled by the computer, the high density of moving cars requires constant attention to navigate the course efficiently.
Player layout in our catalog: 8P sim.
If you are exploring by feel rather than by title, jump from the tags above into the matching genre rooms, or return to the Arcade hall for the full wall.
Open Play on this page to start Sprint 8. Keyboard, USB/Bluetooth pads, and the on-screen touch gamepad all work inside the emulator bar. Save states and fullscreen live on that same bar so you can pause mid-session and resume later.
