Stunt Car Racer takes the humble racing game and removes almost everything sensible about it. Instead of ordinary tracks, you get enormous elevated circuits filled with ramps, jumps, steep drops, and opportunities to discover exactly how much punishment a virtual car can withstand. The physics are the star of the show, giving every jump a slightly terrifying feeling as you try to land without turning your expensive-looking racing machine into modern art. Races are about more than simply keeping the accelerator pressed; you need to judge speed, braking, and positioning carefully, especially when another driver is trying to ruin your afternoon. The sensation of racing high above the ground is remarkably distinctive for its era. It looks simple by modern standards, but the combination of speed, risk, and physical momentum remains wonderfully entertaining. This is racing for people who think ordinary roads are far too safe.

Stunt Car Racer reviews

Abandonware DOS - "I'm not a big fan of racing games, this one though catched my attention. I owned the original big box game for C64 and to this day I can't remember why I bought it. Anyway, I found Stunt Car Racer very engaging (and very difficult). The suspended tracks and the feeling of driving a dragster (or something similar) was palpable. Today Stunt Car Racer is almost unplayable. I would certainly consider support a remake, if someone out there would be interested in making one."

Zero Magazine issue 4 (1990) - "I'm not going to bore you with the details because we've done this one to death. But I couldn't leave it out because it's so good... Now this just shows what can be done with filled vectors and a racing game. A brilliant idea, fantastically executed by the geezer who did The Sentinel: Geoff Crammond. I can't really fault Stunt Car Racer. In fact, as far as I'm concerned, it's set the standard by which future driving 'simulations' will be judged."
