Stunt Cycle

[1] In the style of the Evel Knievel craze of the mid-1970s, the game allows the player to perform simulated motorcycle jumping stunts.

The arcade cabinet is modeled like a real motorcycle handlebar, and the player twists the right side for acceleration.

Accelerating too quickly results in a wheelie and, if speed is not decreased, flipping over backward and crashing.

Handlebar grips on the unit allow players to whip, wheelie, and jump up to 32 onscreen buses.

By the time it was completed, Atari had decided to turn it into a television tie-in game for the Dukes of Hazzard franchise instead.
