Stunt Car Racer!!

[Guest Johnnyjohn]

Sorry if this has been discussed before but I just played stunt car racer on a friends P800 and it rocks!!! Used to love the game on the Amiga...

So..... PLEASE?!?!?!?!?

fanks,

John

i played it on a pc. and created quite a few tracks for it.

wouldn't it be great if those could be played again on a smartphone?

[Guest axe]

yes that would be awesome !!.... stunt car racer .. i remember it from the amiga as well ...

[Guest Thurstan]

Oh my god one of my favourite games along with Sensible Soccer, Monkey Island, Moonstone and Cannon Fodder!

Is that the one where you drive round a psudo3d track, and you can see a mavssive engine in front of you? Think it had loads of cylinders on it.

[Guest Johnnyjohn]

Yeaaaah!!!! That's the baby... was pretty slow on the Amiga but having seen it running smoothly on the P800 figured someone would get on the case for the SPV.

PLEASE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? if I knew anything about coding or lisencing I would but, hey.... if someone wants to make a bit of cash it would sell!!!!!

I had it on the C64 as well. Still got it at the back of a cupboard somewhere (both computer and game). I remember that it ran pretty well for a C64 3D game. I had played the Amiga version but didn't own one of those. I remember being surprised when it turned out to be so playable on the Commodore.

I loved that old computer. The slow tape decks, slightly less slow floppy drive (you can probably get smaller PC's these days!), typing in POKE's to get extra lives in games, endless hours of playing Elite, Mercenary and The Sentinel.

Can't help thing we are way too spoiled these days. Games designers certainly are spoiled. Instead of refining their code to fit into the smallest amount of memory and run as efficiently as possible they can just assume that people will buy bigger drives, more RAM, and faster processors.

Wouldn't these games work on PocketHobbit? (the C64 emulator for Smartphone).

I have tested many c64 games with this emu in my mpx200 and a lot of them work right .

PD: To the Amiga fans:

Amiga rules, Intel Outside ;-)

not to go too far OT but...

the flipside to this is that consumers expect graphics to be 'realistic' so much nowadays that it forces the games to use more space - back in the C64 era people didn't expect much, they filled in the blanks themselves

looking back on it, it was far more of a time of playability being king - but even then the best looking games tended to get promoted more
