You can download the full version of Stunt Racer from the Gaming Depot, at http://gamingdepot.com You won't even need to enter a serial code. When it asks for it, just press enter. :-) Best regards, Moon-Watcher

I recently found an old copy of ega stunt car racer -- there surely must be a better version of this game out there somewhere....(maybe a vga version) any ideas anyone ?/ Dan Leach

I think my version was in CGA (pink white and cyan) - EGA would be a blessing :) Ash "Dan Leach" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:%Lpv5.77255$[email hidden]... | I recently found an old copy of ega stunt car racer -- there surely mustbe | a better version of this game out there somewhere....(maybe a vga version) | any ideas anyone ?/ | | Dan Leach | |

Stunts was great. The ability to make my own tracks, and the Jaguar. You could even drive a March IndyCar. So it was a IndyCar sim :) -- Olav K. Malmin remove spam when replying

A similar game that I used to have (kinda got me interested in racing games) is Whiplash. I cant seem to find the CD but it has all the loops and jumps and at the time, I thought the physics were pretty darn good. The AI werent that bad either. I think the game was bundled with hardware or something. This was back in like 1996 or so.

Your car choice was basically a White 65 Shelby Mustang with blue stripes, though I think you were able to drive an assortment of other things like a VW bug. I remember it had a 'look in the manual' copy protetion scheme. It was one of my first PC games. I still have the original diskette (complete with serial #) but no manual. It would be a hoot to install that old thing and see how it looks now. ~daxe
