Stunts
Description official descriptions
Stunts (4D Sports Driving outside of US) is a 3D car racing simulation that puts emphasis on racing on stunt tracks. The game contains a variety of cars, courses and opponents to choose from (who represent a difficulty level). The game provides unusual stunt objects including loops, corkscrews and jumps. Race tracks contain three types of surfaces: paved road, gravel road and ice. Each of them offer different grip and traction. There is also grass and water that surround roads. The former slows down the car and the latter is lethal and the car instantly crashes. It is possible to watch races in instant replay from different camera angles. A track editor is included as well.

The Good
Stunt represented a new advance in racing games. It has a lot of cars to choose from, different types of adversaries and, the best of all, an excellent track editor. In the times of the BBS's, before the Internet, it was very common to download and exchange tracks for this game. The editor was very easy to understand, too. It would be interesting to see a Windows 9x/NT version of this game, with improved graphics, and obviously, with the track editor.
The Bad
The enemies seem to drive very perfect, even the easier ones. This is a thing that happens in almost every driving game. They tend to drive in turns very perfect.
The Bottom Line
An innovative game, that I would like to see in a newer version.

The Good
It was a neat idea.
Instead of a racing on a race track, race on a stunt track.
The Bad
I'm not too much of a racing fan, but I've seen better.
The Bottom Line
No real reason to play this one, with so many other better racing games out there.
DOS · by Yeah Right (50) · 2000
Might be the most addictive racer ever!
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!

Trivia
Okay, try this in real life: Drive real fast down a long, straight road, then do a huge jump, get airborne, and then (while in the air) slam on the brakes to slow down in time to make it around that nasty corner. Is it going to work? Nope, but it works in Stunts! ;-) Of course, this just makes the game more fun! :-)
