Of all the games to appear on the Amiga, Stunt Car Racer was one of the best stunt style racers and one of Geoff Crammonds finest games, it had some of the craziest tracks ever with one of them being the ultimate track the "Ski Jump". Yet what made it so good was not just the feeling of speed, but the thrill of accelerating into the sky and coming back down with an almighty crack, especially if you ended up missing the track altogether. So you can probably see why I'm just that little bit excited to see that a Stunt Car inspiration has not only appeared on the Pico-8 but can also be played in your browser.
This is Ramps! A 3D racer inspired by Powerdrift, Stunt Car Racer, Hard Drivin'. Choose from 8 varied race tracks, pick 3 difficulty levels, practice hard, and overtake the other drivers in 5 laps to win. As well as racing you'll need to navigate jumps, roller-coaster like ramps and occasionally even drive upside down... So basically Stunt Car Racer with a bit of PowerDrift and Hard Drivin thrown in for good measure!
