Stunt Track Racer

The world’s first official motor races were held in France in 1895, and the speed-blurred trip from there to 1989 is well covered in the manual. But it is the future that holds most excitement. The 1990s see all sorts of chemicals fill the petrol tanks of racing cars. New, super-efficient engines, nitrous injection and ‘sticky’ tyres mean 1996 racers can accelerate at over 1G, or 0-60 mph in two seconds! With such incredible car performance, attention turns to the racing tracks. In 2006, 500ft elevated ‘stunt tracks’ with massive ski-jumps are introduced.

Das neue Programm von Geoff Crammond macht auf dem C 64 eine relativ gute Figur. Die 3D-Grafik ist zwar deutlich langsamer als beim ST, aber das Programm ist immer noch spielbar.

Hoppla, hat sich mein PC plötzlich in einen C 64 verwandelt? Die PC-Version des spektakulären 3D-Autorennens sieht der C 64-Umsetzung ziemlich ähnlich.

Nonetheless, the game is entertaining and I like to return to it every now and then. It’s just that these very small problems make it shrink in company of colossal racing games, such as Stunts.
