Stunt Racer 2000 Acorn Games Video Archive A3010/TVCard

Stunt Racer 2000 running on my Acorn A3010. Stunt Racer 2000 was a racing game set as part of a tv channel in the future. It was written by Fednet who later did Star Fighter 3000 and was published by 4th Dimension. SR2K came out around 1993.

You can get a risc pc version on cd from a certain Acorn PD place, hate to mention the name as they gave me crap service supplying a network card. Games arrived fine though.

Thats track three ;)

[peetvanpeebles]

Nope but its from around that time :) Its 32 bit computer called the A3010 made in the UK.

@BoogStudiosUK Hell yes. A modern Stunt Racer 2000 with deathmatch would utterly rule.

[BoogStudiosUK]

I would do anything to play this game again. 2 player death match was the most awesome thing ever.

@gamein60seconds Awesome, our IT teacher swore by them at Chellaston school back in the mid 90's. He said they were by far better than PC's of the time 386/ 486 and just starting with the first pentiums. Something to down to the the arm risc thingy he used to talk about if I recall. I always remember how much I enjoyed using the OS and especially using the "SPOOL" command when you brought up the secret programming bit to record everything you did on screen. Kinda like a 90's Acorn Hypercam!

@RibNSpicY Even the most basic Archemedes ran at about 4 million instructions per second, (MIPS is a far better measure of speed than clock cycles), this made it about 7 times faster than the Amiga. Add that you had 8 channel sound, 256 colours on a standard screen mode, (all games were written in this mode, but conversions from the Amiga were left in 32 colours), and possibly the best OS of its time, it should have been unstoppable. But Acorn was a little Brittish company....

@HeartfeltDawn Hmm, liked BHP the best, but then as I designed it :)

@ErkyOfChrome The guys who wrote it were aiming for Hard Drivin' which was doing the rounds in the arcade back then. Stunt car racer came a lot later, and was inspired in part by this, but there was not enough processing power in the Amiga to produce this kind of environment.

Chuffin 'Ell! Thas blown me socks off with this. We used to have Archimedes and A3000's as the only computers at my School when i were in my teens (Everything I know about a real PC was learnt from windows 3.1 upwards, on my own, at home lol). I can tell you, i used to have Lemmings and a few other games on a floppy for em but i never knew they ran like this Jocker!!! :0 They is better than Amiga by far, great vid and thanks for teaching me summat new after 15years!

Probably the best racer on the Archie. Graphically Saloon Cars Deluxe was superior but I preferred the driving engine on Stunt Racer.

I remember playing deathmatch with my older brother on the Acorn, trying to beat him in the races while refusing to admit my car design was worse than his. And being wowed by the graphics. Seems a lifetime ago

This was such a cool game. It's great to see someone still enjoying it.
