Le Sprint

A two-player running game for the Philips Videopac G7000, written in Intel 8048 assembly. The game was published in Skrolli Party 2026.

Race to the finish line by alternating your joystick left and right. The faster you alternate, the faster your runner moves!

Platform

• Philips Videopac G7000 (PAL, 50 Hz timing) and variants. The G7400 has not been tested, but it should work.
• lesprint.bin is a 2 KB cartridge ROM image.
• The screenshot shows the game running in O2EM v1.18.

How to play

1. Wait for the yellow 3, 2, 1 countdown and the starting sound.
2. Player 1 controls the red runner; player 2 controls the green runner.
3. Alternate left and right on your joystick to move toward the finish line.
4. Each runner's finish time appears beside their lane.
5. Once both runners have finished, press the fire button on each controller to start another race. The presses do not need to be simultaneous.

Timing uses PAL frames, with hundredths advancing in steps of two.

Run

Use lesprint.bin with O2EM and a suitable Videopac BIOS. Place the ROM in the emulator's ROMS directory, then run this command from the O2EM directory:

o2em.exe lesprint.bin

Configure both players' joystick or keyboard controls in the emulator. The game expects PAL timing.

Build

Build the game with Alfred Arnold's AS assembler, using g7000.h for the Videopac hardware and BIOS definitions. Assemble lesprint.a48, then convert the output to a 2 KB cartridge ROM image with the assembler's binary conversion utility.
