Six Racing games that time and most gamers have forgotten. Does anybody else remember the awesome racing game called Stunts?

Suggestions for Part 2?

yes, and it's all but forgotten. loved that game back then. Played it first on my friends amiga a500. Loved the engine sound and making tracks. After a while I got it for my pc and had a good time playing the game. It was one of the great games from geoff cramond.

Stunts on the Amiga?! Huh... I bet it ran better than the PC version!

It wasn't written by Geoff Crammond.
Stunts was called 4D Sports Driving in Europe, and published by Mindscape as part of their 4D series.

Wow I remember all those racers, I always loved the Porsche racer.

Another good forgotten one is Vette (Spectrum Holobyte), forerunner of GTA for sure.

I loved the vid--it brought back a lot of memories from back when I played games on PC.

possible suggestions for part 2:
Kawasaki Superbike Challenge on Genesis
Moto Racer Advance on GBA
Super Drift Out on Super Famicom (it's overhead, so it may not fit in well with the rest)


Back when I played PC games, I had fond memories of the kart racer 'Wacky Wheels.' Anybody else remember those old shareware kart racers? There was 'Skunny Kart' too at about the same time.

Moto Racer on the GBA?! Huh... Loved the big boy version, so I'll have to check it out. Probably plays like RC Pro-Am, I assume. Great suggestions! I'll check them all out.

Oh yeah, I thought Wacky Wheels was a teriffic Mario Kart knock-off. I nearly bought/registered it way back when.

My mistake on Geoff Crammond. I only recall the name stunts in the Netherlands, not the 4d name.

You're thinking of Stunt Car Racer, that was him.
