Atari St : Stunt Car Racer

[Gregz0r1]

When you get the Ski Jump right, it was exhilarating. Amazing, considering the lack of textures and low polygons, but it still conveyed an immense feeling of height.

[lodogby]

j'y ai joué en lan c'était bien cool, un des premiers jeux ayant cette fonction. de bons souvenirs.

had fun with friends in LAN mode ! (two computers connected)

great memories !

[Gui2Gren]

super jeu de l'époque mais qu'est ce que c'etait penible de ne jamais reussir à mettre en l'air les adversaires,à peine il te touche hop dans le décor!

[hondo190]

This was so enthusiastic then....

[LeGlod]

Ouep en jouant plusieurs heures de jeu d'affiler, on finissait par avoir peur de sauter dans le vide ...

[mstarsup5]

J'adorais ce jeu :)

Surtout dans les niveaux ou t'avais des sauts énormes... Quand la voiture partait en vrille ça faisait style "saute: Weuuuuuummmmmm" (20s plus tard, on touche le sol) "Crrshhhh"(10s plus tard on retouche le sol) "Kaarrshhhhhhhh"

[Kuula10]

Amiga rules Atari ST sucks! ok im kidding lets stop the war already :( or am i the only fighter left

[dmonk06]

[Cellosmoon30]

Ahhh, loking at this I can remember *exactly* how the car handled!

@bign3ck I m in love with the ST sound ( I was used to play on aST) but i have never listen to the amiga quality before, and the difference is stunning - oh and +1 for a 2010 remix of that crazy old school game

[LeGlod]

@Uttarayan

Je ne l'ai pas mal pris, je croyais juste que c'etait par rapport a ma conduite sur Stunt Car Racer :p

[Uttarayan]

@LeGlod HAHaha

sur ce putain de jeu j'ai jamais rien su faire d'autre que prendre des enormes boites - comme tout le monde je pense

[melvoin]

looks smoother than the amiga version

[bign3ck]

i had the Amiga version, wow the sound was shit on the ST, still this game was amazing back in the day, it was the first game that gave me vertigo, I WANT A XBLA/PSN REMAKE, PLEASE SOMEONE, ANYONE.

[paulstearne]

I *totally* remember this game.

[eightninchpianist]

I played that game a lot! Came with a 5 compilation pack called Virtual Reality or something, along with Midwinter. NIce nostalgia trip, but oh, the frame rate!

[Edd731]

Hahaha I played this loads back in the day lol.

[supersoulls]

Greetings from Scotland!

This game kicked arse!

[trophy242]

Greetings from Pomerania!!! :-)

This game kicked a lot of things indeed. It was great!

[an1m4l]

great game for its time, but BLOD HELL this game was hard. I dontthink i ever got higher than like 3rd division

[nlex]

there was something great in this game i never found anywhere else

[Adropacrich2]

I loved my years spent with the ST and some of the great games like Oids and Super Sprint

It was a piece of crap of course compared to the might that was the Amiga but i still have very fond memories of this delightfull machine

Stunt Car was a much superior experience on Amiga thanks to the realistic sound but this version is essentially the same otherwise

[trophy242]

It was not a piece of crap. I've heard once in the past a very wise sentence: "it is not important what computer you have, it is not about which one is better, it is about you and the things you're able to do with your computer". I agree with this in 100% for last 20 years. From this perspective my Atari ST was a great machine.

To be honest - this game is more fluent on ST than on Amiga. The difference is noticable. ST was usually better in vector based games.

[Trondyard]

You're absolutely right. Another example is the game "Virus", which runs smoother on the ST as well. But most games looked (and sounded) a bit better on Amiga, but they were both great machines. Not to forget the C=64, but that's another story... ;=)

Greetings & keep playing!

[burlz]

I used to play this when I was a kid - first time I've seen it for years..

[detective40oz]

I remember this was one of the first game I ever played where you could play with 2 computers hooked up and networked together. Me and my Dad would play this all the time.

[tosgem]

I played this a lot on my ST. Was surprised at the low framerate on Amiga

[screwmyass]

thank you for upping this. it was one of my fav games. miss the good old times. greetings to from germany to all st owners from the past :)

[trophy242]

The sound is not too bad. On Amiga there was a kind of sampled sound, but in fact it wasn't too cool, as it could be. I perferred the st version. It also seems to be a little more responsive or smoother than the Amiga one. But it was the game, which gives a lot of fun when you connected st to st or st to Amiga. Another one, which comes to my mind was F16 Falcon - we've been connecting ST and Amiga to play these games. Yeah! ;-) Nice.

[chazdango]

I'm not so certain the sound quality is awful as such, the 'loop' which could usually be heard quite clearly in most digitised sound samples on the Amiga always bothered me, a lot! the ST version ran a lot faster and more smoothly than the Amiga version aswell, I know, I had (well, still have!) both machines.

Ahh, good old days :) I may go and dust them off and get beaten on SCR by the computer for a bit!

[sparfraps]

yes was a great game. But today there is "Nitro Stunt Racing" :D

[jpmunroe2008]

This game is a classic..fond memories of Atari ST and Amiga linked with a serial cable..so funny to see your oppenents car just fly off the track!

[greenlentils]

This is the game that required the most concentration I've ever played, I loved it but have never been able to win the 1st division

[FloweryBee]

Sound may be "awful" but the visuals are clearer. Atari st sound had its charms though, as did the amiga. If the amiga wasn't around, then the atari sound is just great.

Its a shame the atari and amiga weren't just ONE computer, no more "better" versions, just awesome versions :D

[themadhatter43]

My all time fave game. Absolutely fab. Wonderful memories of playing this classic

[TedBrk]

One of the best racing games ever!

[OllieGSi]

Sound quality is awful compared with the Amiga.

[CaseyTappy]

Man , we held competitions with lots of beer , a null modem cable , 2 tv's and 2 Atari st's linked together .

The big ramp , little ramp , stepping stones , ski jump and draw bridge , man i really adored this game .

When you finished the single player against the computer you advanced to the Super league and that made the game a lot faster and more smooth looking .

[gerrad1973]

great game - a classic - difficult tho'

[SPONCTRON]

i hated this game coz wacked off the track so ******* often...but thx for postin' it-

[nutellajunkie]

just shows us which machine had the better audio.. and im not talkign about the atari here!

[simmo66]

yeah, the sound is well crap!

[Edward256]

...But it beat the PCs back then. While the Atari ST chip had THREE Noise channels, the PC had only one meep channel on its chip. I think the PC chips are lamer than the ATARI chips (not talking about PC cards here, I'm talking about the actuall chip that gives off a MEEP at startup).

[Edward256]

Well, yeah. The Amiga had something extra in its sound chip. I believe it was a SID voice where the sound could be modulated...

[lovelohan]

hell yeah

this game was years b4 its time...i had the amiga version which was great too

[rhody76]

awesome game, thanks for the video
