C65 Accelerated Stunt Car Racer

In this third of three C65 videos we demonstrate the speed difference between the C64 and C65 in fast mode by showing a short clip of Stunt Car Racer and the de-packer for the game. Stunt Car Racer seems to get the full claimed 400% average speed improvement resulting in a much better frame rate. If any thing, the depacker runs even faster again, as evidenced by the much reduced size of the raster bars during depack.

not really useful for playing the older C64 games.

The extra speed difference would have been great for games like Mercenary where the C64 really seemed to struggle with 3d vector graphics.
