Competition 2025 / Re: ZCT290 - Abandoned Mine

@alanrotoi This could be a great venue for a Death Race, Twisted Metal like story. Imagine Bernie Rubber being the villain who plays dumb, not to reveal he secretly is the evil mastermind responsible for the demise of the world and the situation where the rest of the drivers are in   ;) !

General Chat - ZSC / The Apogee FAQ
August 15, 2025, 01:21:14 PM
Don't know if anyone is interested, but I found this old website (last updated September 2005) containing a FAQ about Apogee.

It features a lot of in-depth information about the company, the employees and the games they made. It might be a bit too extensive to read in total but for DOS gaming fanatics like us it's really cool to spend some time on it.

Great initiative. Due to time restraints I don't think I won't be able to participate much, but in honor of the (re)launch of the competition I've decided to upload a laptime anyway.

As you can see I'm by far not the best Owoot or No Replay handeling driver but it was al lot of fun driving this track!

Couldn't find anything about this racing game on the forum (besides one post from 2002) so here it goes.

Anyone familiar with the 1999 racing game Re-volt? It was (together with Stunts and Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit) the racing game I probably played most as a kid.

It's a cool arcade pipsqueak in which you have to drive radio controlled cars through different kinds of environments like supermarkets, museums and a western town. It also features a variety of power-ups like bowling balls, fireworks and oil to make your opponents lives as miserable as possible.

For a game from 1999 it has aged surprisingly well so if you haven't played it yet I can highly recommend it. Search for Re-volt I/O and you'll find what you are looking for  ;) .

For the rest I'll the the guy from Lazy Game Review do the talking (in a 13 year old video that is):

@alanrotoi, especially for you I asked Gemini to make a photo of Alain Rotoi from Zakstunts. Luckily it doesn't give away any of the answers so I can post it here.

You can decide for yourself if you consider this a compliment  ;) !

Ps. And again no dogshead.

Stunts Chat / Stunts AI Team photos
July 27, 2025, 09:38:50 PM
I've done the liberty to ask Gemini (google) AI to create team photo's of the 6 teams that were active this season. As a seventh team I created the team FreeRunners which includes the current four highest pipsqueaks without a team (HerrNove, Zapper, Dreadnaut and Raskolnikovik).

The results were, let's say......interesting.

I thought it was cool to make it into a little quiz. So the question is, can you name the 7 seven teams in the pictures attached in the topic? And as a bonus question, can you identify the correct pipsqueaks in those teams?

Some are (way) easier and/or difficult than others but let's see your guesses! I'll post the answers here next Sunday.

Unfortunately the pictures are too big to put in one post so I'll put them here in two posts. But here are first four.

Ps. I asked Gemini the following question: Can you make a team of photo of the [number of members] of ZakStunts team [Teamname]. The members of this team are [names of the teammembers].

Competition 2025 / Re: Guest tracks 2025
July 25, 2025, 10:23:27 AM
@stanceboyCZ, as you can read in the last few posts I've opted to create the ZCT293 since no one else volunteered yet.

Since you seem te be more invested (and more experienced) in creating tracks I'm willing to give up my place to you if you are interested in creating a ZackStunts track. If not I'll create a track myself.

Maybe it's also an option (again, if you are interested) that you take over Alan's spot for the ZCT290 race since that would be his second track this year.

With the risk of putting you on the wrong track. I think the meaning of the challenge was to train your skill in this particulair trick. So as far as I remember you should try it without RH.

@HerrNove @MiDiaN , last year we rediscovered the "Rotoi Challenge". Maybe it's fun for you guys to complete the challenge as a right of passage into the ZakStunts community  ;) !

Chat - Misc / Tour de France 2025
July 04, 2025, 09:56:44 AM
No clue if there are any professional cycling fans here but tomorrow is the start of this year's Tour de France!

It's probably a safe bet to say that Pogacar will win the yellow jersey but who do you recon will join him on the podium?

My bet will be on Vingegaard and Lipowitz (since his teammate Roglic doesn't seem to be in any shape this year). Maybe Van Evenepoel could be a contender too but he's also not in his best form ever.

Thanks @alanrotoi , just started building the terrain around a idea I have. I think you are all gonna like or even recognize the overlapping theme. Now hopefully I can also make the track somewhat exciting, but I guess I still have few months to develop my track building skills  ;) !
