Stunts Chat / Re: Looking for VERY specific ...
Last post by Matei - June 02, 2025, 06:44:35 PMI forgot to mention. My games also run really well on a an old Windows XP computer (and maybe on windows 95 but at least with Pentium II or AMD K6-2). Here's the one that looks like Stunts:

simcar-6.1.2.tar.gz and simcarstunts-6.0.3 can be downloaded from archive.org (only) by opening them in a new tab.

That would be the 3D models from Stunts. Let's see.

No, I can't find it.

Last post by Shoegazing Leo - June 02, 2025, 01:08:07 AMThe smallest city this year in Brazilian Série A is Mirassol, around 65,000, but it's only 15 km away from São José do Rio Preto, a city with more than 480,000 people living, larger than Santos (418,000).

Last post by Duplode - June 01, 2025, 08:29:48 PMQuote from: Matei on June 01, 2025, 08:06:53 PMIs anyone here who didn't have a version of Stunts in the 90s? I didn't, only found out about it after 200? and initially it didn't seem very interesting because I was using a Pentium II CPU and DosBOX wasn't running fast enough.
Indeed, it could be awkward to run Stunts in early-to-mid 2000s. The native DOS emulation of XP didn't work very well (you needed an extra tool to get sound, and there was a noticeable framerate drop), and computers often weren't fast enough for DOSBox.
(While I had first played Stunts in 1996, in that time frame I came back to the game a few times after relatively long breaks, in 2002, 2004, and finally in 2007.)

I didn't, only found out about it after 200? and initially it didn't seem very interesting because I was using a Pentium II CPU and DosBOX wasn't running fast enough. In the 90s I was playing ZX Spectrum games. This way, my intention was initially not to make a game that looks like Stunts.

I was thinking more about this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_III:_The_Ultimate_Challenge
But doing something 3D was easier (and looks better, obviously). Observation:
https://archive.org/details/msdos_Lotus_-_The_Ultimate_Challenge_1993
https://archive.org/details/msdos_Stunts_1990
These games are at archive.org. I wonder if I can put the tracks of Stunts with my game at so*rceforge.net (if Cl*udf*are disappears, by any chance).

Last post by TomVDJ - June 01, 2025, 07:54:31 PMI know that as a kid we referred to our EU Mindscape version as "Stunts", even though the title screen said "4D Sports - Driving". Also the .exe and bat files I've seen, are most of the time called "stunts".
It's possible that it was part of a bigger collection indeed. It's indeed strange that both bat files change directories, but both to another directory (4D vs. 4-DSPORT).
Good tip asking it on vogons, BTW. Did not to that yet. Also asked the question on the Abondonia forum, but there is not much activity on that one...

Last post by Duplode - June 01, 2025, 06:16:40 PMHello and welcome, @TomVDJ ! I don't think I have come across a distribution like that. The distribution in the floppy disk I had in the 90s, in particular, used Broderbund rather than Mindscape, as expected given the Americas/Europe divide you allude to (I posted a bit about that one here). Going by the BAT files you found, it seems the distributors in your case did a fair bit of customisation. It looks like they wanted to present 4D Driving and Stunts as aliases for the same game -- maybe it was part of a bigger collection they arranged?
