The DESC number (short for Distinct Editions of Stunts Catalogue) is a catalogue number for game versions. The numbering scheme, designed by Daniel3D and Duplode, aims at providing unique identifiers which do not clash with the version numbers from the original releases. A DESC number is of the form P.Y.R, with the three components being numbers such that:

  • P indicates the project or series of releases the game build belongs to;
  • Y corresponds to the release year, with 0 standing for 1990 (the year of the first release of Stunts), 1 for 1991, and so on; and
  • R is a sequence number for the release within a given year and project.

Though the system is primarily meant for identifying custom versions, the original releases of the game have also been assigned DESC numbers for the sake of consistency.
