I suppose Mindscape's version is more frequent. My copy of the game, not from this site and which I have already for a very long time before this site existed, is also the 4D Sports Driving one.

Brings back memories...

I still remember that i got my first copy of the game (some Broderbund version i guess) in 1993 from my neighbours on a 5.25" floppy in an lha archive. It was somewhat around the end of August, and i was absolutely pissed off then about that school was going to start within days, and i can not play the game enough!!! I just do not get one thing. From where on the Earth people in Hungary got the games then since Internet pratically did not even exist then (at least in our village it did not... Anyways somehow on those 5.25" floppies any game could spread out). A later memory of the game is that i could not fit it in any way on an 5.25" floppy (i mean in an unpacked, ready - to - play state). That was maybe the first time i started "hacking", as i remember i removed the files relating to the opponents except for Skid Vicious. I do not know what i actually did, but it worked.

I knew about two additional glitches which i did not see in the topic yet:
One is the block of flats under a jump. This thing was dangerous, and especially pissing off on a long track. Randomly sometimes the car could not get it right, then, well ... Yet another nice space rocket launch video saved
Another is again with jumping when somehow the air lifted the car a bit higher. This was noticeable, then, when the car grounded, it crashed, except if it landed on a higher ground.
Well, and sometimes the car would start bouncing after the jump... Usually no problem, but when a turn, and a big flat was ahead...

The opponents were dumb. You all mentioned this, but once i got a very strange result. On a track i designed the opponent at a point mistook a turn, i mean it drove in a pipe which i placed under a jump, and when it was about to get out, it always tried to go down the road to reach the crossing one. You know what a deadly thing is the pipe's entrace / exit node, it obviously did not success for it :P

A trick which came handy for me: The icy 4 block corners also have a red and white colored area (like the pawed and mud corners). And that's not slippery. With an elegant turn, it is possible to make it much faster than by going on the ice! (But be careful, the Indy just fits on it! You have to be precise!; The 1 block sharp icy corners can also be tricked. I can not remember well, but maybe including the grass in the turn can make it faster)

I (as i think like everyone) experienced a lot with speed warp mode. I had even seen a track designed to be done with speed warp, and then even i created such a track, what i completed then (i could only do it with the continue replay feature, it is awfully hard to drive that way...).

Of course i still have the game I did not play with it too much recently though... At gaming i was too occupied with Albion and watching C64 intros

by manual, if you mean that it asks you 'what does page x, line y word z in manual say?' you can type anything you wish, the game is cracked.

and to get the colours, run setup.exe and choose MCGA/VGA as video display

Okay, but my graphics setting is already there.

Nevermind, somehow the problem fixed itself.

well i suppose im the 1000th guest who asks that, but it doesnt work out. no matter if i just keep pressing enter or write down muck like asdfa, this sec system keeps destroying my car in the first seconds...(
already loaded 2 different versions, and both wont work oO i wanna play stunts :'(

[_r.u.s.s.]

run 'stunt.com', its the cracked one. not stunts.com, niether old.com

Damnit this game was the muck. One of my all time favourites. Me and my brother used to play this for weeeeks.

The review is exactly how I feel about the game.
BUT what was left unnoted that with certain cars in Stunts you could reach I very high speed (higher than their official topspeed) and almost fly over the track even off the track without losing speed. Just taking turns that way was very hard. We used to call it "drifting".

Yeah this game is probably my favorite racing game. We used to make the most wild tracks and then challenge our friends to beat our times. What I loved about this game was how smooth the car felt when driving - a lot of racing games back then made it feel as if your car was filled with lead and would move in jerks but this is so fluent and smooth.
