Stunts Questions / Re: Stunts - freeware or not?
June 06, 2016, 12:05:49 AM
Hmz, I guess it will stay like that till the end of times... So sad to see developers seem to forget and abandon their games after a couple of years while there are still active communities with players enjoying and enhancing the game. Stunts is a good example but I've seen it at some other games too. Anyway, it's clear to me there's no commercial interest from EA anymore, plus KHR's phone call gave me reason enough to add it to my website.

Thanks for your input!

  • Fluidity could perhaps be improved somewhat, though it is entirely possible that my network connection, browser and/or old CPU are to blame. In any case, one would ideally set the DOSBox CPU cycles setting to at least 10000, if that isn't too expensive in terms of server-side resources.
I set the CPU cycles to 10000, it doesn't raise the server load since the emulator is running locally, all it does is downloading the files from my server. Seems like the music is a little messed up now, but I have to test it on some different setups to see what's the exact problem here.

  • With Firefox I sometimes had a little trouble in getting keyboard input to work. It seems to be just a focus issue, as tab-cycling eventually made it work.
Good to know, I'll take a look at this very soon since this will also affect all other games. Were you also having this issue when trying to click your mouse in the game window?

By the way, I noticed high scores and tracks are retained locally, which is a nice touch.
Don´t clear your browser cache :)

As for the extra cars and tracks, I'll add some later this week, maybe some more suggestions come in.

Stunts Chat / Play Stunts in your browser

First of all: great to see such there's actually still an active community for one of my favourite games of my childhood! I still remember the moment we visited our uncle and he let me play Stunts, and when we left he copied the game on a floppy disk for us, I was so excited to play a race game which had the option to create your own tracks ;D Must be 20 year ago I guess...

Just wanted to let you know that you can now play Stunts when you're at work / bored / whenever you're not near your own pc: just go to https://www.playdosgames.com/online/stunts/ (I figured this is not really spam since JTK already posted a link in the Praise Thread  ;) )

I was wondering how do you -Stunts experts- think the game runs in our online emulator? And are there any mods/cars/tracks which have become so mainstream that they should be included on our website?

Hi all,

After email contact with JTK earlier this week about the legal status of Stunts, he pointed me to this forum and thread. I was wondering if somebody possibly has an update on the legal status of Stunts or even better written permission from the owners?

PS: Sorry for bumping this thread.
