Stunt Driver (also known as Crash Course in some European releases) is a polygonal racing game released for MS-DOS in 1990. It has a feature set similar to Brøderbund's Stunts published the same year, including a track editor, and both games have much in common with Hard Drivin', the Atari Games 3D stunt driving simulator released in February 1989.

Gameplay

[edit]
Approaching the loop

Stunt Driver allows the user to create a racetrack from components such as draw-bridges, banked curves, oil slicks, water hazards, and loops, then race on them alone, against computer-controlled opponents, or against another user via a modem or null-modem connection. It allows viewing and editing of replays using different cameras, another feature shared with Stunts.

Reception

[edit]

Computer Gaming World praised Stunt Driver's game play and performance, sound card audio, and extensive customization options, and stated that it was a good computer counterpart to Atari's Hard Drivin' arcade game.[1]
