*Cries a little, wipes my eyes* *Sniff* I so remember this game. Me and my brothers would play it so much. Even found ways to cheat and get laps done quicker without having to go all the way around! Thanks for posting!@

Clearly this game is based on the arcade game SPRINT with other features added. If you play Sprint and any of it's sequels, you will see the similarities.

Wow this game looks like a lot of fun especially that other mode where the players compete and try to touch the square before the other player.I don't remember the driving controllers though hmmm...anyhow I'm a big fan of Super Sprint (it was a arcade game and also released on the NES by Tengen). It had the same viewpoint and a similiar control style. This game looks like a precursor to it in that regard.

The best part about the old 2600 games was the art on the Boxes and cartridges. They were usually good quality illustrations. Of course, the graphics were another story. I miss my old 2600...

I didn't grow up in the Atari era, but my frist game system was an atari 2600 as a hand me down from my aunt. and I remeber these games. I wish I still had that Atari 2600. And seeing this game reminds me of pro-am for the sega Genesis.

I like these reviews. Nothing fancy, just straight ahead for the topic.

As a citizen of Indianapolis, I feel that it's my proud duty to say, the Indy 500 sucks.Now the Atari 2600 Indy 500 looks far more entertaining then the real Indy 500.
