Technology

"Sprint 2" evolved from "Gran Trak 10" and "Gran Trak 20", but included a microprocessor (the 6502), a first for racing games. This allowed "Sprint 2" to include two computer-controlled cars, better graphics, and more tracks.

Legacy

"Sprint 2" was the first in a long series of games, some of which bore its name into the 1980s.

* "Sprint 4" and "Sprint 8", a 4 player and 8 player version respectively, were released in 1977. Both were full color raster versions of the game.

*"Sprint 1" was released in 1978. The "1" and "2" designations reflect the number of players, rather than indicating it was a prequel.

*"Championship Sprint" a 2 player version with updated graphics, was released by Atari Games in 1986.

*"Super Sprint", a 3 player version of "Championship Sprint", was released by Atari Games in 1986.

* "Badlands", a 2 player "post-apocalyptic" setting update of "Championship Sprint", was released in 1989.
