Oh yes.
But the question is, can Crammond include multiplayer?
Notable threadGeoff Crammond's Stunt Car Racer remake announced
A poster linked news that Geoff Crammond was remaking Stunt Car Racer, and a report mentioned online multiplayer. Fans reminisced about playing the original over null-modem cables on the Amiga and Atari ST, and the thread drifted into fond memories of 8-bit and 16-bit games such as Revs and The Sentinel.

Automated summary.
At Boomtown the article says mentions multiplayer/internet play...
I hope Geoff will hire someone else to do that part though ;)

i'm not familiar with this series. is it along the lines of "stuntman" for
the ps2? sounds intriguing nonetheless.

Cool... a gaming generation gap. ;-)
I don't know what stuntman for the PS2 is like, but try to imagine driving a
paved rollercoaster from a first person perspective in a cross between a
front engined sprint car and one of those stadium cross buggies against
another player. That's the best I can do to describe stunt car racer.

hey, i played multiplayer in the first stunt car racer by linking my and
my friends amigas with a null-modem cable :)
first time i experienced multiplayer of any sort, years before i heard
of this thing called internet.

just a joke, but lets make the post worthwhile.
if you want to get a good idea of what its like to race.
get the stunttrack and rollercoaster tracks for gpl from the gpl
tracks database. set your car engine to FG or FD (I prefer FG at
first, swapping to FG later).
set the car up with *LOTS* of suspension travel and rigidity (anyone
with better advice, let *me* know as well!).
race and have fun. excellent in multiplayer.
also, the best versions are amiga and atari st. they are for all
intents and purposes the same, although the ST version ran a smidgen
faster. its best to play on the pc using an atari ST emulator as they
are not as sophisticated as the amiga ones. you can run stuntcar
racer in a window or fullscreen on your desktop. pretty cool.
best part of scr in my opinion was trying to balance driving fast and
avoiding suspension damage from the bumps and jumps. great fun.
great game. almost as good as The Sentinel....

I played the PC version of SCR not half a year ago. ;)
The concept is great, and it was great back then.
Hope it takes off.

Even more funny, really, because the Amiga with 2 megs chip and 2 megs fast
ram, did what these POS dos based machines still wish they could do with 20
gig drives and nearly that in memory :P.

That's gonna be funny indeed, since the Amiga had a completely different
architecture from the PC, and it was an 8 MHz design - the FPS on this
one is gonna hit the roof, and multitask like a madman ;)

If he's keeping up this travelling back in sim time, we're going to be
playing an F3 simulation cruising round Silverstone and Brands in 2005!

Myself and a mate spent far too many hours to even add up on SCR and
another game called Powerdrome (a futuristic hover racing craft type of a
sim) on our Amigas, hooked up with a null-modem cable. :)
SCR and Powerdrome still bring back great memories of my first dabble in
multi-player racing on computers.
I hope the new SCR is done well, looking forward to seeing how it pans out.

What a game Powerdrome was as well as Revs
mentioned by another poster. Considering the power of these old computers
like the Amiga and BBC Micro, the old programmers got a lot out of them!
Can't remember the last time a title made me stay up all night and make me

Speaking of great memories and sore thumbs
C64
Uridium, Paradroid ( Andy Braybrook)
Revs, The Sentinel ( Crammond )
Green Beret, Rambo, Yie Ar Kung Fu, Terra Cresta, etc
In fact, almost any of the Ocean arcade conversions programmed by Dave
Collier, Steve Wahid and Martin Galway (Respect for stretching the c64
there!)
Monty on the Run, Thrust. Excellent gameplay and extremely hummable
Rob Hubbard soundtracks. Mmmmm...where's sidplayer, now...
Dropzone (Archer Maclean)
Pitstop 2
Racing Destruction Set (AriolaSoft) - Wow. Major begging needs to
start to get this one converted to modern versions. In fact, we
should start an Open source project for this one!! Variable vehicles,
terrains, gravity (planetary settings), rudimentary setups, etc. Not
bad for early 80's.
Kikstart 1 and 2, Trailblazer and its sequel - (Shaun Southern)
Amiga
Stunt Car Racer, Sentinel (again), F1GP - Crammond
Bombuzal (Tony Crowther)
Deflektor (Gremlin Graphics)
Lotus 1,2,3 & Supercars 1 and 2 - (Shaun Southern, again)
Datastorm
Archer Maclean's Jimmy White's Snooker and IK+
Wheew.
Sorry for the rambling post... Hope one or two of you got a good
memory from it.

You got that right. I would love to see a few good Amiga games on the PC
like Magic Pockets, Leander, and a few more that I can't remember the
names of. Of course I have a feeling that if I did see those games
today, they would be quite disappointing. Kinda like watching episodes
of The Dukes of Hazzard -- they were so cool when you were a kid but now
they are just dumb! ;-)

To steer vaguely back on topic. Did anyone *ever* beat Richard
Petty's Talladega on the C64. It was easy to come 4th on a full race,
but to get a podium was damn impossible. Sore thumbs before you hit
anywhere near the end!
Also fond memories (although a lot more recent) of attempting full
distance races in the original Indy500 (amiga version using a mouse as
controller)
I also remember playing Test Drive 2 (The Duel) way into the night
with a buddy of mine and saying "One day, you'll be able to watch the
replay of your race through traffic from any angle!" Sounded pretty
far fetched at the time. Wonder what of my current speculations will
be true 5 years from now. My current fave is picturing a racing room
with 4 roof mounted projectors being a 360 degree panorama of your
racing experience. Hell maybe some rich folk have done this already!

I remember that I got a couple of disks with games from a friend back
then. One of the games was Test Drive 1. I loaded the game, and while
loading I saw a screenshot from within the car. You could see the
dashboard, the wheel..
While waiting for the 10-minute load I said to my friend 'One day,
you'll be able to play a racing game with a cockpit view'. Untill
then, all racing games I had played were only playable from the
outside view, like Pitstop, Pole Position etc.
To our amazement, when the loading was finished, the screenshot
started to move and turned out to be not a drawn picture, but it was
the game itself! Back then the graphics of this game were totally
amazing.
Maybe it's because I'm getting older, maybe it's because every game
released back then was fresh and original, but one thing I know for
sure: I had a lot more fun playing games back then..
Man, I'm 30 and I allready start to feel old :(

Well, the first ever racing game I played on a computer was Chequered
Flag for Sinclair ZX Spectrum. It had a cockpit view and it was released
in 1982! It was quite fantastic at the time, even though you were the
only car on the track.
