About Sprint Master

Sprint Master is an action racing game for the Atari 2600. The game is played from an overhead view of the racetrack, and the first of two players to complete the required number of laps wins. Occasionally, a bonus will appear on the roadway; players can collect it to increase their car's traction or gain a temporary speed boost. Other obstacles, such as oil slicks, may also appear on the roadway, causing players to lose control and speed. There are a total of 9 tracks with varying levels of difficulty to race on, and players can choose blacktop, dirt, or ice as terrain.

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

A late Atari Corp. overhead racer by Bob Polaro, better than its obscurity suggests and cheap.

Sprintmaster is an overhead racing game that Atari Corporation released for the 2600 in March 1989, late in the console's life. Bob Polaro programmed it. It plays a lot like Atari Games' arcade Super Sprint but is not related to it.

It is a late-era release that is easy to overlook, and it costs little loose.

How it was made

Programmed by Bob Polaro (credited through Bobco) and published by Atari Corporation in March 1989.

Cartridge & preservation record

Program size 16 KB, measured from the preserved dump.

Catalogue number as recorded for the physical release.

Before you buy

Low risk. This is a late Atari Corp. cart, so it uses the plain universal shell with no dust door and a cheaper gray-style label. New collectors sometimes mistake these for fakes, but that construction is genuine for 1986-onward releases. Sealed copies are not hard to find.
