Stunts

The Good
The Track Editor is a definate bonus. One of the first games including one, this was so far ahead of it's time most people didn't even understand how to use it! We're talking 1990 here!

The Bad
The graphics are kind of choppy (not unlike many of today's new and "ground breaking" games) and the whole story line with the other racers and their grudges is kind of cheesy.

The Bottom Line
The game is a worthy buy, but sadly as is many other great games it is no longer for sale. It is a fast paced and realistic racing sim. The best feature is definately the built in editor. The game features many, many seperate soprts cars and opponents to race against. Be careful, though, when you crash you're out, unlike many other games which just flip you back over and aloow you to keep going unharmed.

The Good
You can drive around on the included tracks against the clock or others which is quite fun but the longevity of this game is so great because of the track editor that lets you create new tracks to try. This way you can trade them with friends and have hours of fun trying to beat each other's tracks. You can place all kinds of crazy stunts like loops, tricky curves and even corkscrews and much more. The graphics aren't super but good for a game of that time I think. Gameplay is also amazing for such an old game, especially with the F1- car. All people who I showed this game loved this!

The Bad
Not much, really.The worst thing is that there is no multiplayer which would have been perfect for this game, even with the already high fun factor of beating each other's records.

The Bottom Line
A must-have for all driving/racing fans and it will remain fun for years because you can think up new tracks endlessly. Download it now, it's all freeware these days and is available on a lot of abandonware sites!

The Good
Stunts was one of the first 3D driving games that I fell in love with and I typcially hate driving games. Late nights with friends trying to beat each others' scores... Maybe I'm being nostalgic, but this game holds a special place in my heart. I am very impressed with the speed of the 3D graphics engine, the frame rate is quite good on a low powered machine and has plenty of fun and interesting tracks. Thank god it's not plagued with the boring ovals ones common in many of the racing games of that day.

Creating custum tracks was more than a novel feature that added virtually endless hours of game replay.

The Bad
At this time in my life I already had two PC's. While it was fun having stunts going on both machines, one for me and another with a friend, it would have been even better if we were really racing each other. Multi player wasn't all that uncommon in 1990, Microsoft Flight Simulator and Armor Alley both had it to name a couple.

The 3D engine was fast and could have done more for people like me with faster machines. It would have been nice to see more detailed models, but then all of the 286 people would be complaining.

The Bottom Line
Stunts is a fun and exciting driving game that is only limited by your imagination. The basic goal of the game is to drive through stunt courses with cork screws, jumps and more. Just make sure you have enough speed to make that loop-to-loop, and remember: Always wear your seatbelt.
