Title: Can someone identify this game??
Post by: IG-88 on January 10, 2006, 08:52:49 pm
I stumbled across this at
 http://losgatosmuseum.com/mod.php?mod=gallery&menu=11
and have been trying to remember what the heck it was. I loved this game when I was a kid and wanted to try it again if I can find it.

Any help?

Thats it! Unfortunately I forgot that it used a set of handlebars to operate it. Doesn't look like it's been emulated yet either. Shucks.

AFAIK it's not an IC game. (it doesn't use microchips). MAME does not include the old "discrete logic" games.

I, too, used to pump quarters into Stunt Cycle in its time.

You can find Atari's home version on Ebay from time to time for +- $25...

...I picked one up awhile back and still like to play from time to time.

They seem to show up on pretty regular intervals in this area. Usually cheap and dead.

Where  is your area?

I should try to make it to K.C. or St. Louis to one of those big auctions to see if I could pick one up. I think Paigeoliver is from that area actually....

Being pedantic here; it is an IC (Integrated Circuit) game, ie it uses discrete logic IC's. MAME emulates games that had Microprocessors/Microcontrollers with external memory/epROMs/IO etc.

True, but the gif IG-88 posted doesn't not look like the arcade stunt cycle.  The home version mentioned earlier?

I agree, now that I compared it to the pics that paigeoliver took of his machine. I got that .gif from the Las Gatos Museum site, click the link in my first post.  I wonder if their pic is from the non-arcade/home version?

What Atari system was that on? I'll have to do some investigating. Maybe I can recreate it somehow.....
