When the first racing season begins in Stunt Car Racer the player is in division four and must compete against computer-controlled opponents to work their way up through the ranks. The raised tracks themselves add to that challenge since they look and indeed feel like rollercoasters, with steeply banked curves and huge ramps to negotiate. Learning each of the circuit is essential to success and landing badly or falling off will damage the car,

so it’s fortunate that there’s a practice mode.

Stunt Car Racer has long been on the wishlist for many Atari 8-bit gamers and, as a belated Christmas present, Fandal and Irgendwer have taken apart the C64 version of Geoff Crammond’s classic racing game and persuaded it to run on a 128K Atari

8-bit. They’ve also added some features along the way including online high scores and a cover of Yello’s The Race during the menu screens.
