When you insert a coin in paperboy or any sprint variation you always heard that “Gong” . Great memories - still play this on an emulator from time to time
I have this going sound on my phone to go off when I get a voicemail and it freaks everyone out when they hear it saying it sounds creepy. To me, it reminds me of my youth in the arcades.
Like many on here, I used to play this game all the time back in 1986. In fact, I remember playing the 4 player version and staying there until someone beat me in a race. I had my Walkman on listening to My most recent mix tape while playing this game too. Atlanta had many cool arcade back in the day and I was probably at most of them!
Never played this version but the arcade I frequented the most had Super Sprint. Basically the same game except 3 players could play at once. Abs I think it had a couple of extra tracks.
Oddly enough, despite spending some time in a real race car in the past, I've never really enjoyed racing games like Rush and Outrun. But I LOVE these types. I need to clear out some space in the game room and get me a three-player Danny Sullivan Indy Heat or Ironman Stewart.
Fantastic game, absolutely loved this was hard game but patience is required lol, along with seawolf and outrun in my top five arcade games of all time .😁😁
My dad had this among other arcade games and pinball machines. My brother and I now have all of them. I didn't know you could switch it to paperboy. Any idea where we could find the kit to make that happen? Great channel/content, thanks for sharing
I have a small idea to why a medium res graphics is that atari had this as a mean to knock out the competetors or at least to lead the pack. But in pc`s you got 16 bits up to 32 bits all depends on the grahpics card . I beleve that since they had a dedicated graphic chips they could get it up to 31 bits in the graphics department. And if you have the chance to open up the back and check the mother board for a graphic chip or if there is a separete graphics card.
There's no seperate card but you may be onto something, they may have been trying to deep six the competition :) You have to keep in mind too, though, that Wells Gardner was the ones making the monitors so I'm sure they were in Cahoots :)
Awesome, love that game, i want to buy one if i can.. i'm in N.z.. and i was the most kick-ass mothafka that eva was in my hometown on that game lmao!!.. :D Without trying to sound too arrogant about it.. 20 years ago my friend said to me ' i heard you were the best on this game'.. i was like 'nah.. not me bro..' lol.. but actually i was lying to him.. i was! :D Love that game man! It will provide a lot of highs for you on the weed lol... A lot! Probably why that dude frove all the way from Texas to get it lmao!!.
@@LyonsArcade Now THAT makes me cry. I've been searching for a Sprint like this for a long time. I too spent way, way too many hours and quarters playing this game.
You suck! Haha, just kidding. I played exactly like that awhile back. Once you get the hang of it, the steering-like you said-is totally fun when you spin the heck out of the wheel! It does help to ease off the pedal at times! :D Thanks for posting!
I was addicted to this game. So well designed and such good gameplay.
Yup, when your gas pedal doesn't stick like mine did in the video!
Addicted very much to this game
What a classic game. When I was a kid, I dumped all my paper route money weekly on this game.
So much fun back in the day.
Great video
The funny thing is "Paperboy" was in the same cabinet!
Joe's Classic Video Games
Lol!
OMG so surprised to see one still going. I used to play this in an arcade in Gibraltar back in 1986. Had a few top scores too as I was on it so much.
My pops did the cabinet/marquee art for this and Paperboy. I was the paperboy.
Very cool! Have you ever recreated the pose?
made that tough to watch u play this classic, this game was all about spinning the shit out of the wheel and pumping that gas..
Hey I ain't the best at playing them :)

Very cool, it was a great game and like you said the sound really added to it!
I have this going sound on my phone to go off when I get a voicemail and it freaks everyone out when they hear it saying it sounds creepy. To me, it reminds me of my youth in the arcades.
I… loved…. these…. games. Both Super Sprint and Championship Sprint. Spent serious time with these babies.

Thanks Johan!

I never get that one unfortunately! Thank you for watching Chris!

I love Kentucky Fried Chicken & arcades.
Me as well :)
Hello there is this arcade game still available?
It seems to me that your steering wheel does not work even near to properly, does it?! ;-)
Is it for sale ?
We sold it awhile back to a gentleman from Texas, who drove all the way here... he planned on turning it into a Paperboy. Can you believe that???
Awesome, love that game, i want to buy one if i can.. i'm in N.z.. and i was the most kick-ass mothafka that eva was in my hometown on that game lmao!!.. :D Without trying to sound too arrogant about it.. 20 years ago my friend said to me ' i heard you were the best on this game'.. i was like 'nah.. not me bro..' lol.. but actually i was lying to him.. i was! :D Love that game man!

How much did you sell it for Joe?
+Joe’s Classic Video Games. How much did you get for this particular machine?

what was different about this game compared to super sprint?
A few different Trax. And u could upgrade the helicopter speed (no one used this upgrade), but it was useless.
