LOL Donkaments

Ok for you youngens out there thought i would post up some old PC games that i used to play and enjoy that can compete (at least game play wise) with some of today's games. I will steal the reviews from other sites as i am no good at writing.

The first one is "STUNTS". This was a gem of a game and if i could get my PC to play DOS games chances are i would be playing it right now but lucky for us there is a remake being made but first onto the original.

In Stunts, players race a lap around the circuit, with the aim of completing the lap as quickly as possible without crashing. However, these laps often feature special track areas such as loops, jumps (including over tall buildings), slalom roads and corkscrews. The game area is restriced by a large fixed size square area defined and surrounded by a fence which the player can not leave. Players can either race against the clock or choose between six different opponents, there is no support for realtime multiplayer. Stunts features 11 different drivable cars, with either automatic or manual transmission. Replays of races can be saved and reviewed. There are four camera views available during replay and actual driving, the dashboard is an optional overlay on all views. In addition, there is a built-in track editor that lets players design their own tracks with different track parts, which is considered by many to be one of the best features, if not the best feature of the game altogether.

The cars can drive on paved roads, gravel roads, icy/snow roads and grass if driving off the track — which all offer different levels of grip. The game has a relatively advanced pseudo-physics engine for its time which can simulate i.a. limited oversteer and understeer when cornering at the limit; and driving through a banked corner gives the car more grip. The graphics is a combination of 3D and sprites, no textures, running in 320×200 with 256 colors. There is an option to select high and low detail. The game is written for MS DOS and executes in real mode.

Ultimate Stunts

There is also an unofficial, free software and open source incarnation of Stunts called Ultimate Stunts, an attempt to create a modern Stunts-like game from scratch. It was started by a Dutch student in 2001.

Ultimate Stunts allows the player to race on different tracks including elements like jumps and loops to do stunts on. The game supports single player and multiplayer racing. The game will also allow the player to import tracks from the original Stunts game
