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 could not undertake to form a nucleus of an institution for the development of infant minds, where none already existed. It would be too cruel.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The work of adult life is not easy. As in childhood, each step presents not only new tasks of development but requires a letting go of the techniques that worked before. With each passage some magic must be given up, some cherished illusion of safety and comfortably familiar sense of self must be cast off, to allow for the greater expansion of our distinctiveness.”
—Gail Sheehy (20th century)
