Stunts PC

Stunts are unconventional car races, in which the player's task is to overcome the obstacle course, full of ramps, loops, jumps and other fancy traps. The game was created by Distinctive Software team, the same one that is responsible for the famous productions in the early nineties: Test Drive and The Duel.

The player can choose from nine cars that differ in acceleration, maximum speed and grip. Unfortunately, half of them are not suitable for any driving at all, unless on a flat track like a table. This is a rare sight in Stunts. As a result, those who dream of a decent performance should use the services of Porsche March Indy and master the movement of this wagon so that they can easily overcome any traps designed by the route authors. If you don't like driving alone, you can join a computer-controlled driver. There are five opponents with different levels, but even Skid Vicious - the best of them, after a few hours of training, should not pose a greater threat. The last thing worth mentioning is the track editor, which is very easy to use. With its help we can design any number of new tracks and thus extend the life of the program.

Vector graphics do not impress today, but a dozen or so years ago, it was all that could be expected from car races. The dashboards of individual vehicles look very nice, but frankly speaking they are useless and only limit the field of vision. An interesting option is the possibility of recording repetitions and watching them from various cameras. Thanks to this, we can preserve more breakneck evolutions, or spectacular accidents.
