Synopsis

Stunt Cycle is an arcade video game by Atari, Inc. In the style of the Evel Knievel craze of the mid-1970s, the game allows the player to perform simulated motorcycle jumping stunts. The player can only accelerate and brake, with no steering. The motorcycle automatically drives across each platform in sequence: left to right, right to left, then left to right again. The bottom platform has a line of parked buses between two ramps, and the goal is to repeatedly jump the buses and land safely. Upon starting, the player must jump over 8 buses. If successful, another bus is added and at 23 buses, one additional credit or crash is added. Otherwise, crashing three times or jumping over 27 buses ends the game.

Accelerating too quickly results in a wheelie and, if speed is not decreased, flipping over backward and crashing. Speed carries over from one platform to the next. On the third platform and thereafter, the cycle must reach the landing ramp to avoid a crash.
