Title: WOW OMG HEART: Atari Super Sprint
Post by: Blanka on April 21, 2016, 06:49:09 PM

Just run into a game from Atari: Super Sprint. It probably sounds foolish not knowing this game, but WOW what a game! The music, the gameplay it is stellar! I also saw it is an improved version of prior Sprint games. Who owns this marvel?
Even more stunning cab-wise is Sprint-8. Anyone having that in his game room? I'm trying to find a good picture, to no avail..
Is it true the music is made by Hal Canon, the guy no-one knows about?

Here, the intro-screen is as perfect:

Here  :)

I totally understand your excitement about it. I had a Sprint 2 (which has much more charming tbh) and wanted to have Super Sprint. Bought it last year from a guy in Belgium.

And it's the 'Deluxe' version with 25" inch screen....I will never understand why the regular version had a 19" tube BITD.  I mean, look at that huge cab and then a 19" monitor? Come on....


Here's a pic showing my mods (lit start buttons and pedal area lit)

We often stay near Neustadt on the way south. Nice monastry in the hills for a night on a road trip.

A monastry? Are you sure we're talking about the same Neustadt?

MAPS (https://www.google.de/maps/place/Neustadt+an+der+Weinstra%C3%9Fe/@49.3483689,8.0192436,11z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x479648909491c3ef:0x8bc383e89f51e6b0)

Or do you mean the Herz-Jesu-Kloster?  It's the only one near Neustadt. If so, I didn't know that one can spend a night there.


So let me know when you're near, maybe we can have a beer and some games at our place :)
