Enduro is a racing video game designed by Larry Miller for the Atari 2600 and published by Activision in 1983.

The visuals change from day to night, and there is occasional inclement weather.

Enduro was released for the Atari 2600 in May 1983 and later ported to the ZX Spectrum. It became the top selling console game of the month by June 1983 and received positive reviews from publications like The Video Game Update and Games with both contemporary and retrospective reviews referring to it as the best racing game on the Atari 2600.Starmaster is a video game written for the Atari 2600 by Alan Miller and published in June 1982 by Activision.
