Stunts - down memory lane

[MidKnight Lament]

Haha. Sounds like I better get a better time up pretty quick, or I'm going to be history!

I like putting the harder things in my tracks near the start. Nothing more frustrating than driving for 5 minutes only to crash near the end. Once you get through the tunnel on the eastern side of MD_1 (about half way) you're pretty much going to finish the track unless you do something stupid. Which leaves the second half nice and fast with lots of banked corners. There's just one banked corner where you really have to use your brakes or you'll go flying over the side. Not happy with that corner actually, but I ran out of room. I'll make a better one next time.

Well, "Bouncy" doesn't show this but that happened to me. It's strange that the car in the replay MISSES the mill and stays on the ground...

so, have you checked my replays? just curious...

[MidKnight Lament]

I did, but none of them look right. The car turns at inappropriate times like it's following another track. The car crashes about half way through most of the replays, with the rest of it just blank.

Does Acolade still exist? Who are they now? Perhaps we should write an email... Chances are we won't get any sort of response, but it might be worth a shot...

[MidKnight Lament]

I'm pretty sure it's Acolade. Haven't got the game in front of me here, but I'm pretty sure.

Who would own them now? Who put out the latest Test Drive?

- MKL

[Andz83]

Accolade? I always thought that stunts wouldn't be made by accolade but by mindscape...

the way my replays didn't work on your stunts is the same way as yours didn't show REAL action on mine... very strange.

Has anyone outside of MKL and me tried out some others' replay? Now I become really curious about this thing...

[Andz83]

And I'm pretty sure it's Mindscape. I don't hope that we have in fact different versions from different publishers. That could explain our replay-problem. BTW, Accolade made many racing games, you perhaps mixed them up...

[Andz83]

Well, here are some other things:

1. I managed to break the highscore in MD_1. I made it in 3 : 39.60, I think.

2. My top time on the very Default track is 1 : 09.25 . What are your best times on the Default track. I mean the real Default track.

3. There's a way to edit the terrain in the track editor. Anyone wants to know how? You can put in hills and lakes...curious?

[Andz83]

DEFAULT in 1:08.85!!!

I'm getting better!! I will manage it in under 1:08.00 I tell you...

[MidKnight Lament]

Yes, I'm more than a little curious. In fact, I think I've asked you about five times before.

I've hardly played the default track. I've got no idea what my best time on it is.

Well, while being in the track editor just hit [SHIFT] + [F1] to activate the terrain editor. [F1] to reactivate the track editor.

the new soon to be released Stunts game: http://www.ga-sports.com/article.cfm?id=1050

too bad it alreay sucks...

[Andz83]

Yes, it doesn't seem to be a worthy successor...

[MidKnight Lament]

Well, it seems I was wrong with Accolade. I start it up, and it says Broderbund. I checked out broderbund.com, and it re-directed me to the Mattel interactive site. Which, then seemed to have no links to anything called Broderbund. The redirection page has a logo, but nothing after that. Well, I tried. *shrugs*

By the way, I only just tried out that Shift+F1 thing. Very nice

[Andz83]

broderbound? now it's getting really weird...

don't you see a "mindscape" logo when starting?

yes, the shift+F1 thingy is cool, but the publisher question is much more interesting for me...

[MidKnight Lament]

Nup. "Broderbund presents". Then on the next screen, "Stunts. From the makers of Test Drive and The Duel".
