Game versions
The game named Stunts is a creation of Distinctive Software studio, authors of Test Drive and Test Drive 2 before. Differents versions of this game were published.
PC versions
- Broderbund versions (also named BB versions) :
- Mindscape versions (also named M versions) :
There are several differences between these versions, mainly about crashes on jumps (very often in BB 1.0 and M 1.1 (1990 one)) or some track elements capability : for example you don't crash if you hit tunnel's roof with Mindcape's 4D Sport Driving 1.1 versions.
The most used version in competitions nowadays, is Stunts BB 1.1. At the beginning of competitions (1998-2000), it was Stunts BB 1.0 that was most used. When Stunts BB 1.1 was started to be used, a cheated car named Contest Car was created by Lukas Loehrer to allow Stunts 1.0 users be as fast as 1.1 users, because Indy car is slightly faster in BB/M 1.1 versions than in BB 1.0 version.
