From the operators manual:It has been 50 years since the nuclear disaster. The sport of sprint racing is now a ruthless battle between armed cars. These races take place on tracks built in the ruins of the dangerous nuclear zone known only as the BADLANDS. This is sprint racing gone BAD! It's all-out war on the track as players blast away at the drones (and each other) to finish first! Players shoot playfield targets for extra points and bonus missiles!
Unlike the sequels Championship Sprint and Super Sprint, this game uses a standard resolution monitor instead of a medium resolution monitor. This means the cars are somewhat larger and because of this scale issue, the tracks seem to be smaller in real-world terms.
Finish first! Upgrade your cars by collecting the wrenches which appear periodically on the track. The following upgrades are available: missiles, tires, turbo, speed, and shields.
