Press forward to accelerate and your race begins / the short intro is skipped.

This is the _best_ racin game ever made. Period.

Seriously, I still play this game every now and then with great enthusiasm. It was absolutely stunning when it came out. It also includes the legendary track editor. My choice for cargames!

Well... let's make a quick walkthrough...

1) Run Stunt.com (DOS, Windows 9X or DOSBOX recommended). or Stunts_k.exe for BB1.1 version
2) When the program asks you to enter some word, just press Enter.
3) When "Fasten your seatbelt!" appears, it's good, you are clear to start - just press the acceleration button. You even don't have to wait so long, you may go immediately the game screen is loaded (that animation will be skipped).
4) In-game controls are:
arrows: accelerate, brake, left, right.
A, Z: shifting (only with gearbox set to Manual instead of Auto in Car menu) or Space (gear up) and Enter (gear down) for PC esc: pauses the racing and summons some menu
F1: cockpit view
F2: helicopter view
F3: camera-somewhere-around-the-car view
F4: camera is watching the car from some fixed place on the ground (not good for driving :-) )
5) Editor controls are:
space: jump between editing window and menu
shift+F1: landscape editing tools appear
arrows, enter: the rest :-)

Some tips for playing:
- Indy is the best car, then jaguar and then Porsche 962. The slower cars sometimes can't gather enough speed to jump over anything. BTW., do the slower cars have any specialty they would be worth driving for? I don't know. Sure, some of them have a "powergear" that allow you to drive on the grass without loosing speed, like with the indy. NSX or ZR1 for example have this feature, which is a game bug originally. "Powergear" speed may be 245 (like for the indy) or slower (203 mph for NSX for example)
- Opponents are quite dumb, even the best one of them (Skid Vicious) can be beaten in much slower car (try it ;-) ).
- While driving some extra long tracks, a message "replay buffer is full" appears. Ignore that, the only problem you get is that you won't be able to see replay later. Once a replay is mlonger than 10 minutes, this problem appear.
- Bumping the fence all around the track doesn't hurt you.
- When you are driving at top speed (fastest gear stage, engine cannot go faster) and go on the slope up (bridge, banked corner etc.), you will reach some kind of warp speed - engine roars very high, everything runs behind you very fast and the grass doesn't slow you down (!) That's the "powergear". When you make a drift (it's quite easy now), you will shoot away in full speed at the moment you stop drifting. However, steering is practically impossible and you can encounter some very strange physical phenomena during jumps or along the fence - it is very easy to take off and fly almost a kilometer high. And to fall down then, of course :-). All cars don't have powergear. Indy has the easiest handling of powergear, as you can keep powergear speed during turns. All other powergear cars loose powergear when you turn too sharply.
- Sometimes when you turn you car wheels up, the steering stil works. But after few seconds you crash anyway.
- Those concrete blocks on the road can be avoided by driving precisely at the centre of the road. Then you don't need to steer left or right, just go forward. Maybe some cars are a bit wider, but Indy can do this. All cars can do this. Sometimes, you can even go THROUGH a concrete block when driving exactly right (no turn move) at high but not highest speed. It's a very lucky trick.
- The grass along double curves (2x2 squares) doesn't slow you, so you needn't to follow the road precisely.
- There's a demo that appears after some time in main menu. It is a replay loaded from file (I think) Default.rpl. It's quite funny to replace this file with some awful stunts (e.g. ignoring the gravity at top speed), the text "proffesional driver on closed circuit" looks a little odd then ;-).


Stunts is one of my favourite games... if it only had a multiplayer (splitscreen), it would be absolutely perfect. Now it is only GREAT :-D

Enjoy.

OK, a few things:
- The brake is important. While you're driving out in the open, it's not needed, but when you're in an up/down corkscrew or on a bridge, now is the time.
- Remember to open STUNT.COM, and just press ENTER when you get the manual thingy requester. (This SHOULD be on ALL the pages of this thread.) Oh, and if you're running this under Windows 2000, turn the sound off, or leave it on PC speaker. Win2K doesn't support sound cards under DOS.
- For jumping bridges, you will need lots of speed.
- This game brings back many memories. We used to have this. Ahh...

(can't edit it sorry)
If you run STUNTS.COM, try doing some random guesswork. Make sure you fill up all you can. Once you've got it right, you're free to go. "DISPLAYING" was the word that got it working for me. It just depends on the question, but if you're clever, you can crack it. Oh, and you only have to do it once.

Disable security system in Stunts :
I strongly suggest to use 1.1 version available at download page of ZakStunts website ( http://stunts.mine.nu/zakstunts/index.php?...d&menu=full ) instead of 1.0 version.
And then run stunts_k.exe which is cracked executable (simply press enter when question is asked).

Or you can use the following answers to the questions of the game if you prefer using the original executable :

This game (as well as Ironman super offroad) runs choppy as hell.

If I alt tab out, then return to the game, it runs smooth for a few seconds, then continues being choppy.

Should I download DOSbox to fix the problem?

The game runs perfectly under Win 9x or Me, but it has some problems under XP.
DOSBox is THE solution, adapt frameskip to your computer and enjoy Stunts pleasure. :cool:

Indeed you should.
