I had Stunts but never Stunt Driver. I adored Stunts. Some of the insane glitches I found in that game were epic. I launched off track once toward the end of a track, but instead of wrecking, I somehow flew straight up in the air, with the nose of the car facing down. I didn't fall though and about 10-20 seconds later I won the race! LOL. I watched the replay from behind the car and it literally just kept following the track from about a mile up and somehow succeeded in crossing the finish line regardless. Ahh, great memories of that game: -)

I was massively into Broderbund Stunts and that game seemed far superior to what I see here. It had a varied choice of cars, though you'd always pick the Indy car for its speed. Even opponents with personality, such as 'Skid Viscious'. but what really put it ahead of them all for me was the drivability of the cars - it didn't feel like you're playing a computer game anymore, the handling was smooth and not cumbersome. It was a delight to break a long standing record for one of your own tracks

This game has an advanced or better graphics mode for top end hardware (of the time. It was noted by slightly better graphics and the air scoop in the hood would shake with the rev'ing of the engine. I am surprised you are not using it. I had this game (and Stunts) when they came out and upgraded by hardware to take advantage of their advanced graphics settings. Stunts is waaaay better but this game held its own.

I don't know if this is an official cheat but when you are at the top speed if you put into neutral without left the accelerator you will gain infinite speed. if you use the helicopter view you can see your official incredible speed, but after 200mph or more it can't be counted anymore. Somebody can tell me if this is an official cheat? I discovered it when I was child playing this game on pc

I downloaded this game back in the day as -abandonware- on my old Packard Bell hand me down. I actually got to play this online via a third party LAN over internet client, but I can't even remember what it was called. It worked but my brother and I had many more enjoyable hours just playing together taking turns and whatnot. The replay feature really was what made it.

I'm impressed that Stunts came out in the same year as this one. Stunts is far superior, with smoother controls, lots of cars, and a much more versatile track editor. Stunt Driver just felt limited and cheesy to me. Stunts still has an active community to this day, and there's an open source -spiritual successor- to it being developed, called -Ultimate Stunts-.

Great review! This is the way they should be - both reviews - and games - bonus comparison too. Played this at one of the places at baltimore inner-harbor, some science museum - maybe smithsonian institute around 92 or so? They had one of these 'hard drivin' arcade cabinets in the section devoted to technology - I couldn't get enough of it at 10 years old.

Aww, gotta get the memory config right to see the shaker hood in action.
I always thought the physics seemed a little more realistic than Stunts, but at the same time I found the game borderline unplayable. I modded the Iroc to look like KITT and just made a track that was all paved but with low friction. good times.

I know this is an old review, but that line 'Especially if your tired of that old formula set by Pole Position, and Outrun' Outrun, had a branching game play mechanic, that even the sequels didn't even reproduce (I dunno why) and added at least some visual differences as well as game play differences, but that's just me

Wow. Watching this video and hearing those sounds brought back some serious memories. I spent way, WAY too much time playing Stunt Driver as a teen. I would spend hours making tracks and then hours more playing them over a serial connection with my family. This is one game I wish could get a remake: )
