Stunt Car Racer was one of the best stunt style racers for the Amiga, and one of Geoff Crammonds finest games. 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 such as on the Ski Jump. So you can probably see why I'm just that little bit excited, as a fan by the name of omenoid and ptitSeb, has released a new PC remake of the game. A new version that was originally sourced from D. Vernon and A. Copland's version released back in 2019
Although it looks as if there's still a long way to go with the team saying the win32 remake is far from dead. You can check out the latest video above which shows a fully working suspension, car physics, fully modelled tracks, and much more you'll just have to experience for yourselves.
- Original Remake by D. Vernon, A. Copland. Later updates by ptitSeb and omenoid.
- Smooth frame rate patch by Bjoern Gdanietz and omenoid.
If only there was some kind of multiplayer between two computers on the PC platform!!!! It is so badly needed for one of the greatest games of all time. *looking over at the two Amiga computers with a null link cable.
ReplyDeleteI was a fan of the original in c64 but it would be a lot better if they cover poligons with textures.
ReplyDeletePure perfection , finally at at amazing framerate :)
ReplyDeleteThat game was GREAT. Thanks for the heads up, and I got it FB stream.
ReplyDeleteJust playing Stepping Stones and came off the track then got craned into one of the gaps between the track LOL, hopefully that can be fixed ;)
ReplyDeleteWish this could run on older PCs/Windows 95/DOS. Been obsessed with my Gateway 2000 Pentium 120 machine.
ReplyDeleteIt's really good but runs in slow motion on a 240hz screen! Have to lower it to 60hz to run at proper speed!
ReplyDeleteSame here on a 165hz oled. Have sent the dev a message :D - thanks Penelope!
