Stunt Car Racer - Development

Development

  • The ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC ports of Stunt Car Racer were programmed by Pete Cooke, already well known for his many 3D games on those platforms.
  • The Commodore 64 version was later modified for use without a keyboard. This version was in the Power Play cartridge together with Rick Dangerous and Microprose Soccer, released for the C64 Games System.
  • A long-awaited sequel, Stunt Car Racer Pro, was announced in April, 2003. It never came to fruition.
  • Two enhanced versions of Stunt Car Racer for the Commodore Amiga were also produced by hackers. One version was called Stunt Car Racer - TNT (The New Tracks) by AmiGer where new tracks were able to be played, and an earlier version called Stunt Car Racer - Turbo by Galahad of Fairlight which significantly speeded up the framerate on AGA Amigas, and had a built in PAL/NTSC screen mode switcher that smoothed the framerate out yet more still.
  • There is a Windows conversion of Stunt Car Racer available here stuntcarracerwin32 which is free. It is based on the Commodore Amiga version and also has some new features.

Famous quotes containing the word development:

    “Sleep hath its own world,
    And a wide realm of wild reality.
    And dreams in their development have breath,
    And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “I do seriously believe that if we can measure among the States the benefits resulting from the preservation of the Union, the rebellious States have the larger share. It destroyed an institution that was their destruction. It opened the way for a commercial life that, if they will only embrace it and face the light, means to them a development that shall rival the best attainments of the greatest of our States.”
    —Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)

    “John B. Watson, the most influential child-rearing expert [of the 1920s], warned that doting mothers could retard the development of children,... Demonstrations of affection were therefore limited. “If you must, kiss them once on the forehead when they say goodnight. Shake hands with them in the morning.””
    —Sylvia Ann Hewitt (20th century)
