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:
“Good schools are schools for the development of the whole child. They seek to help children develop to their maximum their social powers and their intellectual powers, their emotional capacities, their physical powers.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“The experience of a sense of guilt for wrong-doing is necessary for the development of self-control. The guilt feelings will later serve as a warning signal which the child can produce himself when an impulse to repeat the naughty act comes over him. When the child can produce his on warning signals, independent of the actual presence of the adult, he is on the way to developing a conscience.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“Dissonance between family and school, therefore, is not only inevitable in a changing society; it also helps to make children more malleable and responsive to a changing world. By the same token, one could say that absolute homogeneity between family and school would reflect a static, authoritarian society and discourage creative, adaptive development in children.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
