Would you want to play a track that is not finished?

I certainly wouldn't.

It's simply a security measure that prevents players from blaming the game developers on being unable to complete faulty tracks.

[_r.u.s.s.]

in order to test the map...

It's a difference between pointing out that something is "wrong" in the track and forbidding the player to drive it.

This is a real classic, and it was revolutionary in its time. When I had a 486 pc, I spent a lot of time with Stunts. I made maps, then I called this blonde beauty in a duel. I always drove the Carrera, and she always sat in the Lancia

Good times where friends go to each friend home to copy or borrow videogames, I knew this one by a friend of high school in a 486 66 Mhz, great PC! He runs faster and he did very good times, compared with mine records in my old 386@16 Mhz.

Great game, doing maps, or driving in the programmed courses. I like the engine sounds, I remember hearing the Ferrari GTO 1984 with earphones and It was fantastic!

The icy roads where the worst, then in the muddy ones resting speed or the jumps in an elevated road, breaking before jump to don´t crash in the invisible near corner!

Great sliddings in the corners, when your speed was too much, etc...excellent video game, it´s that kind that if I know then how many hours I will spend on it or how much I enjoy this one, I I had bought it.

These 2 replays show weird occurrences with the physics. Enjoy and have some lols!

Bumping this thread: I'm replaying Stunts, and have a few versions, all with different tracks. Does someone know which track(s) came originally with the game? "Default" has to be there or the game won't start, but I guess other tracks were delivered originally with the game? With the downloaded version(s) all kind of user tracks are included. I'd like to know which were the original ones that Broderbund included in the game when they sold it...

Disk B: default.trk
Disk C: bernies.trk, cherris.trk, default.trk, helens.trk, joes.trk, skids.trk

And I'm pretty sure that default.trk is the same on both disks.

Hey all,

I was going through some old 5.25 inch floppies from my father's archive, and found a few with games. One of them was Stunts. But the disk was corrupt / partially unreadbale, and the only files that were still there were:

- 4-DSPORT.BAT

with the content:

@echo off
cd 4-dsport
stunts

and

- STUNTS.BAT

with the content:

@echo off
cd 4D
stunts
echo Radical , Chombatta !

I do remember playing the game, and it was the Mindscape version (so "4D Sports - Driving") and not the Bröderbund version ("Stunts").

It was a cracked version for sure, but I'm looking for a distribution / release that also had the two BAT files included. The "Radical , Chombatta !" tagline might give an indication about what release or distribution this was? I know the "Red Sector" release is well known, but I did not find one with the specific BAT files included. What I also think I remembered, was that the "TRAINING" track was included on top of the standard included tracks.

If somebody could help me find this very specific version, that would be awesome! I know the game itself stays identical (I have a few versions), but I'd like to "restore" that original floppy disc of my father with the exact same files, pure out of nostalgic reasons. (Hope this makes sense.)

Thanks!
