Remembrances of Games Past, Part #10: Stunts (1990) (PC) (Distinctive Software)

Btw i wouldn't consider the physics as buggy. It did fail sometimes but was still revolutionary.

[Demiath]

@tod4y The physics in Stunts *are* revolutionary...which is probably also why they don't always work as expected. Still, there's something absolutely insane about some of the glitches (such as the infamous "skyrocketing out of a loop" bug) which most players would see relatively often, so it's hard not to notice some of the more obvious (but also wonderful) flaws in the system.

My Childhood!!!

[BraveheartKiwi]

Brings back memories of my childhood, thanks for the video. Don't play stunts very often anymore because there is Track Mania now. Infact, Track Mania 2 is currently being made. :)

[fritspas]

Only thing missing is the sound when you crash :)

[tod4y]

My beloved one.

[rmenes]

O man, so many memories. I used to love this game.

[HardWarUK]

This music reminds me of a game called Midwinter by Mike Singleton!

[Dubjayonthetrack]

God this brings back memories...

[nor94]

Looks like a great old game. Thanks for uploading.

[jimjabbo]

Thank you...Stunts was my all time fav game on my old 386...but I think I started on an XT 8088 turbo for this game..not sure..cheers :)

DUDE this was an awesome game!!!!! Thanks for posting it, WOW I had so much fun making tracks and all kind of wierd obsticles.

[Schmalzgau]

Still A Great Game!

[standardbearer]

Hehe:)

My bro and I had different a kind of racing competition with this game:

Who did the more obsure and nonsensical replay, won the race:)

[collideherscope]

Surely, they should make a remake of this game yes?? imagine the gameplay of this game, with unreal graphics, and maybe some way you have to earn cash so you can upgrade cars and whatnot.

[funkstylez]

there is a spiritual remake of this game, called Trackmania, with modern day graphics and online multiplayer.. check it out on youtube.. it's very similar :)

peace

[Demiath]

Yeah, I was going to say the same thing. Trackmania (for PC and Nintendo DS, btw) may not quite have the same completely crazy car physics, but it does have a very nice level editor which reminds me of Stunts.

[collideherscope]

sweet, thanks.

this was the shit during the 90s. the first game that learnt me to only use one hand on the pointers during turns

[Borin81]

ah, Stunts, my favourite racing game in the early 90's on the PC. i used to make large cities with lots of loops and jumps so you land on buildings and whatnot. :)

[PimpinBassie2]

Wrong adlib emulation, should have used the opl2 emulation instead of opl3

[Demiath]

I used "auto" on opl mode, which is the default in my DOSBox frontend.

Sounds exactly like I remember it, and that's what matters most in this video series.

[Zax85]

Haha... nice!!! This was one of my favorite games at that time. ^^

[praseton]

me too

[HrcWhitey]

i remember this.
