What game is this and on what system? Very Difficult question!!

When i was around 8 ( 26 years ago ) i used to have a games system that played about 20 games and it included a motorbike stunt game which i would love to know the name of.O.K - The info - - The system had no cartridges but had all the games internally, and you had to flick switches to choose your game. The games were very basic - Pong etc. The graphics were Atari quality.- The controllers were paddles- The game itself had a motorbike with a rider on a line at the far top left of the screen, underneath were 3 other lines which the bike travelled along. On the bottom line was a ramp from which you had to jump buses.- You used the paddle as an accelerator.- the aim was to clear the buses , and when succesfull the system would then automatically add another bus.Again i add, it was an early system and the games / graphics were very basic.- The game had a poor motorbike audio sound.I'm pretty sure i'll not get the answer as i've spoken to many people who have no idea what i'm on about !!!!!!!!What game is this and on what system? Very Difficult question!!
My guess?Atari Stunt cycle.I'll look for a screenshot. gimme a minute.Edit : Crappy screenshot.[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v464/kingmicas/11812421749.jpg[/IMG]Im pretty sure the screenshot is of the arcade version but i do know for a fact there were ''all in one'' no cartridge systems this same game was released on.What game is this and on what system? Very Difficult question!!
I don't know the game. But my guess is the system has to be the Maganavox Odyssey
The game indeed was StuntCycle, without a doubt. However the system sounds like Sears Telegames IV which was the only system to have the built-in game other than the stand alone StuntCycle console. StuntCycle only showed up on other console machines via cartridge.
Thanks for your help guys.I had a good look around at the Magnavox and Sears consoles you suggested but alas, they're not it.Amazing at the ammount of models in this vein these companies produced!Unfortunately the system is in my mums attic in London whilst i'm in Western Australia so i cant exactly get to it to have a good look.Thanx again.
