Sprint 2
Sprint 2 [1] is an Atari Arcade Game from 1976. It's a Top Down View, Player Versus Player Driving Game, based on Gran Trak 10. The graphics are much the same, but instead of the track changing every lap, the players choose a track before the match starts. It was the first Atari arcade game with a CPU (MOS 6502), and the CPU controls two cars in addition to the two player cars.
