I really liked that game for it's many quirks, and the track editor obviously.

The briefly mentioned Restunts sounds interesting, I'll have to check if it's just a port to C or whether they already extended the game and made it run on modern systems.


its was partially ~40% ported (10 years ago) to C but still only running on DOS

sadly, correct reversing is such a huge time consumer - decades are easily reached and there are not that many developers who are passionated enough

correct "16bit segment:offset" reversing is such a huge time consumer - linear 32bit DOS code is more or less easy in comparison

Yeah the weirdbbug when you land on the middle of the top of 2 bridges you are catapulted into the air was awesome

the same guy that created (800% Detail: Tweaking Stunt Island’s 30-year-old 3D Engine): https://marnetto.net/2024/11/20/tweaking-stunt-island

developer Alberto Marnetto create a modification (based on Stunts reversing propject restunts) to increasing the field of view while driving

Loved the Amiga version of this.
