Albert Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 This is an amazing effort, thank you Fandal and Irgendwer! It's fantastic to see the obvious love and attention that went into this version! I played the hell out of this on the Atari ST nearly 30 years ago, and now I can look forward to playing it on the 8-bit. Someone should update the Stunt Car Racer page on Wikipedia to include this new and amazing Atari 8-bit version. ..Al 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I'm so impressed with the game, even on an un-accelerated Atari, that I've finally decided to take the plunge and get a Rapidus so I can then play, as far as I know, the fastest version ever! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Can someone post some screenshots from the game, including of the beautiful title screen? Thanks! ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) Irgendwer Please know that for every 1 'suggestion/complaint' there are thousands of thank you's that will take it how it is... Some may ask that a hard drive friendly version be worked on however, since disk space would allow it. I hope everyone can see fit to help in a friendly tone and way of talking. Might it also be suggested there be donations to our coding friends... perhaps they have patreon, of fund me, or pay pal... It is a joyous gift, and perhaps some giving is order to make some happy in place of tough talk.

Albert Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Wiki updated (just the list of platforms) :-) Definitely needs a paragraph about the 8-bit version. As well as a port of the Atari ST version to the Jaguar (still in progress). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grzybson Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 No one denies that Fandal and Irgendwer put an enormous effort to bring this game to us. I can't even imagine how much was that. Guys, I really appreciate it Let's not forget why we all are doing that - for fun! And for those having nothing but complaints - try to do anything on your own instead! @xxl - No, I don't feel ashamed. You should - for trying to divide Atari community as you have been doing on polish forums. At least let's keep this place clean from our local "mess". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) Just try to balance out the various remarks; there are many more very positive and encouraging ones (page after page here) -- even from those who have a few negative things to say. And I think, in this case, the criticisms are amplified by the excitement over how great the game is in the first place.

SoundGammon Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Ok, here goes... Any chance could this get ported to the 5200? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swami Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I will have to check if you can use the Tototek (PS2 to Genesis) or Willingham (PS2 to Amiga) adapter with a racing wheel like the Mad Catz MC2 or Logic3 TopDrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam242 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) Just had a few tries at this on real hardware (Incognito 800) booted from a real floppy. MIND BLOWN. The emulation experience is NOT the same, folks. This will be in my heavy rotation for the foreseeable future. Thank you so much for this amazing piece of work!

emkay Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) Please be civil! When I'm reading your posts, for some reasons always Monty Python comes to my mind You don't know what I'm talking about and get personal against me every time by that. The Game is outstanding great. But, how about asking Fragmare, Dippy or Tobikomi for a fitting tune? They seem to learn quickly, using POKEY the right way.

Rom Hunter Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Truly fantastic work. Was a huge SCR fan on the Amiga and C64 back then (although I cursed the ramps many times) and this is an amazing conversion.Many thanks, Irgendwer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 @Gunstar, try grabbing it from the first post again, somewhere in the thread I thought I saw mention of fixes being applied for some reason, I could be wrong.. The saving works 100% on the version I'm using...There's 5 slots to save to. Super super game.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Yeah. Dont worry regarding xbios etc. What makes me concern is that now it seems Wild altered / hacked versions are which is not good. Same like the 65816 friendly version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzip Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 complaining that loading times are too long (hey, you waited nearly 30 years for it?!). How long do you normally play in relation to the loading time - does it really matter? The memory footprint is very tight, I'm glad we were able to have the IO stuff inside this otherwise not full featured port - thanks to xBIOS. This is where emulation is your friend. I just hit the 'full speed' key and don't have to wait long for the game to load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
