Dirtbike is an unreleased racing game created by Atari and dated from 1977.
Designed by Dennis Koble and finished up by Ed Logg. Playtested but not released. Prototype.
Similar to Sprint except you drove a dirt bike and the control was a set of Stunt Cycle-like handlebars that could be used to steer the bike instead of a steering wheel.
