About Springer

You control Springer, a pink rabbit that hops from different cloud levels and a few moving clouds picking up bonus object such as carrots, apples, sunglasses and a toothbrush.

Your ultimate objective is to reach the sun at the top of the screen with bonus time remaining and maximum bonus points.

Atari 2600 prices, all games & how to spot a fake

A scarce Tigervision cartridge with little on the record beyond its publisher.

Tigervision released Springer in October 1983. Little is documented about the game beyond its publisher and release date, and the price reflects how seldom copies appear rather than any reputation as a game.

What the press said at the time

Electronic Fun with Computers & Games Vol. 2 No. 3

January 1984

2½ joysticks

“All in all, Springer is acceptable once you overlook the storyline and confused graphics. The background scenery, in fact, is very impressive.”
— Electronic Fun with Computers & Games, January 1984

Electronic Fun rated games out of four joysticks.

Before you buy

Medium risk. No reproductions or fakes are documented; the risk comes from the value. Compare the Tigervision label and shell against AtariAge's scans, check for die-cut rounded label corners, and ask for a photo of the board through the dust door.
