Sprint One is an arcade racing game released by Kee Games in 1978. It is a single player version of it's predecessor, Sprint 2, and features nearly identical gameplay (the 1 and 2 in the game titles indicate the number of players rather than being a sequel or prequel). By having only one player at a time, Sprint One is designed to be a more compact and economical version of Sprint 2.

The goal in Sprint One is to earn as many points as possible by successfully completing laps around different race tracks before time runs out. The game features a top down view of a race track; in addition to the player's car, there are also computer controlled cars on the track which constantly get in the way along with several oil slicks; collisions with either will cause the player to temporarily lose control. There are a total of twelve tracks; after the player completes either one or two laps depending on the operator settings, the track will automatically change to the next one. Additional time is also awarded when certain score thresholds are reached. In addition to the number of laps required for each track, the game provides operator settings for the game time, allowing oil slicks to be removed, number of coins per play, and extended play settings.
