Looking for VERY specific "release" of 4D-Sports Driving (EU Mindscape version)

[TomVDJ]

Hey all,

I signed up to this forum for one very specific reason.

I was going through some old 5.25 inch floppies from my father's archive, and found a few with games. One of them was labeled "stunts". But the disk was corrupt / partially unreadbale, and the only files that were still there were:

- 4-DSPORT.BAT

with the content:

Code Select Expand

@echo off
cd 4-dsport
stunts
and

- STUNTS.BAT

with the content:

Code Select Expand

@echo off
cd 4D
stunts
echo Radical , Chombatta !
I do remember playing the game, and it was the Mindscape version (so "4D Sports - Driving") and not the Bröderbund version ("Stunts").

It was a cracked version for sure, but I'm looking for a distribution / release that also had the two BAT files included. The "Radical , Chombatta !" tagline might give an indication about what release or distribution this was? I know the "Red Sector" release is well known, but I did not find one with the specific BAT files included. What I also think I remembered, was that the "TRAINING" track was included on top of the standard included tracks.

If somebody could help me find this very specific version, that would be awesome! I know the game itself stays identical, but I'd like to "restore" that original floppy disc of my father with the exact same files, pure out of nostalgic reasons. (Hope this makes sense.)

Thanks!

Ah!  I understand that feeling. This has happened to me with some games I've recovered later, but were not the same. I do still keep my original version of Stunts, which is a 1.0 with a stunt.com crack and an alternative Default replay that's played on the Default track and ends with the pipsqueak (in a blue PMIN) shoots up into the sky at the loop. Unfortunately, I have never come across the version you mention. Hopefully one of the guys here has.

That's why we don't progress. For Mr. TomVDJ: You seem to have an old computer with DOS on it(?) so the currently recommended version for you is somewhere around here:

[edit] On that computer with 5.25 inch floppies you probably can't copy anything. You can't record any diskette with a new computer and all my diskettes were useless last time I tried them anyway. [/edit]
