Super Sprint started out as the black & white Atari arcade game Gran Trak 10, and eventually got more sophisticated in color and ended up as one of the most popular games on NES. They were simpler times, they were better times.;)
8bitParticipantA Strepsils sweet, because I have a sore throat.:(
8bitParticipantI think I’m questioning the extent Ford & GM have gone into truck/SUVs.The Japanese manufacturers made, make mostly fuel efficient front drivers and by concentrating on this type of car, which most people want, were able to redesign their main models completely every 3/4 years. Rather than be like GM with something like the F body and keep it around for 10 years before a major redesign. Capitalism indeed to offer something the peeps want.:)
Datsun saves you MPGs! :p
8bitParticipantThis is a game I really liked that should have been ported to a console, but I don’t think it ever was.:(
8bitParticipantSome parallel between GM, Ford management and the US videogame industry in the early 80s. The market was saturated with consoles, games and the coin op arcade side. Management just thought the market was bottomless and everyday was Christmas (Atari’s Ray “the czar” Kassar), but they were wrong. Today we have 3 console platforms. In 1983/84 there were six I can think of off hand. That fueled the 1984 crash.With the car world the equivalent is GM and Ford loading up the bases with big SUVs, lol!;)
8bitParticipantI think Street Racer (made in 1977) for the Atari 2600 is one of the first video racing games, maybe the first, but I don’t know
I have Street Racer. Indy 500 was also released on cart for the Atari 2600 in 1977. Indy 500’s game variations were based on the arcade classics Gran Trak 10 and Crash N’ Score.:)
