Title: Stunt Cycle Arcade
Post by: old school gamer on August 10, 2004, 10:13:36 pm

Been wanting to add this game to my collection for a while. I came across one , 100% working and 9.0 overall condition (very good for such an old game). Over 800$ for this thing.............. I think thats a little high, anybody else???????

I have the original Atari HOME Stunt Cycle game in the original box :)  Nice game for the time, but just no holding power for me.  WIsh you luck on the arcade game.

FWIW: I'm a huge pac-man collector and I wouldn't even pay $800 for a really nice Pac-Man cab.

I have one. $800 is too much for one. I saw one on ebay recently that didn't sell for $300. That was more like it.

I just acquired an Atari HOME unit from a local thrift store but it does not appear to be in working condition.

All electronics look intact and without issue on the PCB internally. When  you power on it sometimes will burp a motorcycle sound for a minute but it does not appear to give an video.

Granted, this game does not have alot of holding power but not having room for the real arcade I thought this might bring back some good memories in less space.

Would gladly take a working unit off your hands should you care to part with it.

Not sure what to test with this non-working unit....guess its back to ebay watching for me......

If you mean the Atari Stunt Cycle HOME unit discussed.....

I tinkered with my thrift find again this evening, used a different power converter, and now it does appear to be working just no video, ie: playing blind.

I guess it could be the RF modulator......think I'll pick up a new one to replace this old one I had lying around....hopefully that's the problem.

I loved playing Stunt Cycle when I was a kid, such great momories.  ;D

Thanks for the link to the EBay Item. I never even knew those existed! Damn. I would have wanted that. For $26? No problem!

Ah well.  Anyone know what else Atari produced for the home like this? I know there is Pong (obviously) and Video Pinball. Any others?

Yes, there is a really really rare Atari home system that basically is a multi-colored Disco light that flashes different colors to the beat of the music.   **SERIOUSLY**

I can't for the life of me remember the name of it, and I think only a handful have ever appeared on eBay. Google for it and you should turn it up.


I have the Atari Stunt Cycle in box and both the Atari and Sears clone of the Video Pinball both boxed.

The Stunt Cycle USED to sell for $50 without box and about $70-$100 complete in box.

Dang, I should have sold mine a few years ago for $100..  At $26 I'll keep it. (or was that without box?)
