Stunts (also distributed under a title 4D: Sports Driving) is a racing video game developed by Distinctive Software, Inc. (DSI). The game was published by Brøderbund in 1990 computer and video games for the United States and published by Mindscape for the United Kingdom in 1991. The influence of the classic game Test Drive (also by DSI) is easy to spot because of the similar graphics and game structure. The game was also similar in style to Geoff Crammond's Stunt Car Racer. The game was originally made for the PC and then ported for Amiga. The Amiga version is quite slow on the most common Amiga models if all graphical details are used.

Description

---

In Stunts, players may race laps, with the aim of completing each race as quickly as possible. However, laps in the game may also feature special track areas such as loops, jumps (including those over tall buildings), slalom roads and corkscrews. Players may race on a track (or off the track), within a large square area defined and surrounded by a fence. Players can either race against the clock or choose between six different opponents. Stunts features 11 different drivable cars, with either automatic or manual transmission. Replays of races may also be saved, and reviewed using a selection of camera views. In addition, there is a built-in track editor that lets players design their own tracks with different track parts easily.
