November 2023 - Stunt Car Racer (TNT)

[NinjaKat]

OCS/ECS Game of the Month for November 2023, is Stunt Car Racer (TNT)!

Thanks IronMaiden for the game request - thought I'd put up the TNT version as I havent personally tried that one!

I recommend everyone check out the manual - I have not put the story text here as it is so comprehensive, it is best you check the manual, but here is a snippet! - "You weren't no racing rookie. You'd served your time on the old Formula 1 tracks, before the cars got too quick for 'em and they all got shut down after the 2006 season ... What was it they said again? Oh yeah ... safety. You'd never managed to work that one out. Hell, everybody knew the only reason people went to those old F1 races in the '90s was on the off chance of seeing some Hash-Ecsted sucker silch himself against a kevoprene guard rail. The geeks up in CenCom who'd banned Formula 1 were just riled because they weren't getting their nice little rake-off from the race promoters. Jeez ... what a joke."

TNT is The New Tracks, but its more than that. First it unlocks the FPS for faster CPUs, and by pressing an F key there is also Turbo mode, which means it goes ever faster, and smoother. The tracks are not as dramatic as the originals, so no Drawbridge or Ski Jump, but seem faster and somehow more fun.

This game was created by AmiGer/CARE (http://www.discreetfx.com/care/) by modifying the original game Stunt Car Racer. The TNT of the title stands for "The New Tracks". A track designer was written in Delphi and used to create 8 new tracks to race. The title screen and menu screen have been modified, as well as the colour palette.

I'm assuming that's "Hall of Fame" for the second screen - as in for the scores?

Well.. Just reminded me why I don't play "car racing" games! I'm hopeless at it!

Don't even know how to score that one!

Played on both my A1200 (WHDLoad) and on the Emulated A500 on my Checkmate System (both the same results!
