anyone remember "stunts"?

Maybe the name is wrong... but as I play sims and the physics get better and we have ff wheels, sure would like to see a stunt game sim style! I remember playing stunts or whatever it was... jumps, a big loop etc, racing agains time. With vga it still gave me vertigo. Rick

I was working at Spectrum HoloByte at the time, and our own "Stunt Driver" was in beta. We released it soon after, though apparently not many people liked it. :-/ For a bit more "current" stunt driving, see if you can find Interplay's Whiplash ("Fatal Racing" in Europe). It supports GLIDE acceleration, though no D3D. It still looks good in software mode though. --KC

> PS - Wasn't GC planning a stunt racing sim game at some point? GC did do a stunt sim, and I think it was called 'Stunt Car Racer' if my memory serves me well. I think it came just after GC's other classic racer - 'Revs'. A long time ago now! I also think I remember some talk of GC updating SCR, but haven't heard anything about that for a while now. Iain

Take a look at "Stunt GP". It is a bit similar, although it is RC cars you're driving. But hey, it's got the loop! at http://stuntgp.team17.com There is a demo available. Lars G. On Fri, 13 Apr 2001 02:34:37 GMT, "Rick LaBanca" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Oh yeah - And couldn't you design your own track, too? And I think it had a 4wd Audi and the Lamborghinininininini LM2000 (or whatever it was called...)

Have a look at StuntGP by Codemasters (I think there's a demo). It's about RC style cars but exhilerating nontheless. Jan

KC, I had Stunt Driver and if that's the one that had the car with the shaker hood I absolutely loved it at the time :). I remember the car physics where way ahead of there time. hmmmmm now where did I put those old five inch disks :) Dave

I loved stunts. Building your own tracks was cool. I had some great ones. I ran it on my 386 but can't get it to work on my Pentium. Actually I can't get any dos games to run on a P2 350. Oh well.

I remember >playing stunts or whatever it was... jumps, a big loop etc, racing agains >time. With vga it still gave me vertigo. Long since abandoned, no longer for sale. However, it has a relatively large following. One of the more popular "abandoned" games. I've got a few links to sites with the game as well as add-on tracks, track building competitions, etc. http://www.kalpen.de/stunts/stunts.htm -Tim

Sure I remember Stunts. I had much fun with that game. It would be very cool if somebody could redo the original "Stunts" with 3D Acceleration, Force Feedback wheel support, many more cars, LAN & online play and much more. The track editor is a must, though, maybe include a weather editor as well (Stunts had only road Conditions of icy, mud and road, as far as I remember). :) "Rick LaBanca" <[email hidden]> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:1BtB6.29277$[email hidden]... > Maybe the name is wrong... but as I play sims and the physics get betterand > we have ff wheels, sure would like to see a stunt game sim style!

You'll see my name in the credits section. :-) If you still have it that is. The Beta AI was absolutely hilarious at the time. We assigned the "old lady" AI to the VW bug, as a test, and we drove the Mustang. With two laps left, we're doing absolutely the fastest lap we can, then comes this VW bug roaring up behind us! It was hilarious. --KC

What a perfect timing. Eldred, it sounds like you can help me out. I just dug through some of my _old_ games that I hadn't touched since about 1993, and found Civilization 1, F1GP (Crammond's first) and the legendary Indy 500! The problem is, I can't figure out a way to get the sounds working. Not much of a problem for Civilization, but I really hate to race with the beeper engine sounds. Can I somehow make the games realize the existence of an SB Live in a Win95 system? +Cinquo

Hi, Does your SBLive have an option to install dos drivers? That's probably all you need. Dos drivers might be deactivated by default. I don't have a sblive so I don't know for sure. Ian

remember STUNTCAR racing on the amiga??? Now that is what got me hooked on car racing on the computer!!! Glzmo wrote:

Yea, on the SB Live! you need to have the Dos emulation drivers installed on your system and make sure dos emulation is enabled in device manager under Creative Miscellaneous Devices. If you install LW3.0 it doesn't come with the Dos drivers. You need to install the drivers from the cards original cdrom and then update to LW 3.0 to get the dos drivers or look for the drivers on the internet as a seperate download. They can be found. Under C:\Program Files\Creative\SBlive\ there should be a "DOSDrv" sub folder. If that isn't present then he doesn't have the dos drivers installed. Then comes the problem of the config.sys and autoexec.bat. SB Live! dos emulation must have emm386.exe loading in order to work. The IRQ and DMA settings go in the autoexec.bat and some older dos games don't work on high order IRQ's. If you can get the SB Live! dos emulation to use IRQ5 then things will be hunky dory with *all* dos games because that is the SB 16's default IRQ.

Under my Device Manager, there's a Creative Miscellaneous Device entry(installed by the SBLive setup). That has SBLive SB emulation. That allows games to see the DOS version of the sound card as a SB16. If a game won't work with that, make sure you have the drivers loaded in your autoexec.bat, and boot to DOS. Hope that helps.

Yep, as I mentioned in earlier in this thread! GC had talked about updating Stunt Car Racer but I haven't seen anything about this for a while Shame because SCR was a classic!

There was one track I could never finish..I "think" it was in the last set of tracks..probably one with a moving ramp that you had to hit just right to sail across to the other side...but I'll never remember exactly... dave henrie "Iain Mackenzie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:bqcC6.4516$[email hidden]... > Yep, as I mentioned in earlier in this thread!

Oh I loved that game. I didn't play it until after i'd played GP1, so I can't really credit it with starting me on this sim-racing thing. But I do think it cemented my addiction. I loved being able to design tracks - i came up with some great tracks, some of the best had no "stunts" at all, just pure race tracks. I tried to recreate some GP tracks too, with varying degrees of success - the available track components were a little too limited. I dug out my last remaining backup copy of stunts a little while back - like all old games, it seems, it hasn't aged too well. It simply can't compare to todays sims, and once you've played GPL arcade physics just aren't going to cut it. But it was a great game at the time, and an update utilising the latest technology would certainly go on my wish list. Ahh, they were heady days indeed. When an entire game could be crammed on a single 3 1/2 inch disk. When every new game meant a few hours messing with the autoexec.bat and config.sys files and a new boot disk. When we dreamed about being able to race against other people over a modem.... DG On Sun, 15 Apr 2001 17:52:55 +0100, "Iain Mackenzie" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Sure do. I pulled out the floppys recently and fired it up just for fun.
