About the game

Stunts / 4D Sports Driving is one of the defining DOS racing games of its era, remembered for its stunt tracks, dramatic jumps, and the freedom it gave players to build and drive their own courses. Our release is aimed at players who still own one of the documented original versions and want a straightforward way to run it today without getting stuck at the old manual protection check.

Our loader detects the supported builds automatically and applies only the matching protection fix. The original game installation stays untouched, and we still launch the supplied STUNTS.COM, so the copy-protection or protection prompt is bypassed in a way that keeps the rest of the game logic working normally. Supported builds include the known Broderbund and Mindscape releases, including the documented December 1990 version and the related Red Sector distribution. That makes this a clean option for owners of the original files who want a practical way to get the game running again.

Orinth notes

Stunts, or 4D Sports Driving, is the kind of racing game that cares more about its idea than about polished bodywork. In 1990, Distinctive Software did not just build laps against the clock; it built a playground for jumps, loops, banking, and above all the track editor. That is what people still remember: the driving is quick, but the real pull comes from experimenting, failing, and then smiling when your own course finally works. The fact that Broderbund and Mindscape labeled it differently depending on the market almost feels fitting for a game this flexible — Stunts was never just another racer. Contemporary reviews and later retrospectives kept praising that blend of accessibility and tinkering, even if the early 3D presentation is very much of its era.

Our DOSGAME.AT release goes after the part that tends to get in the way today: the loader detects the supported original builds automatically and applies only the matching protection fix. The game installation itself stays untouched, so owners of the original get a much smoother route back to the starting line. That matters here, because nothing about the physics, timing, or course logic needs to be rewritten just to make the old executable behave. In other words: less waiting around before the race, more time for brave jumps and gloriously bad attempts on purpose.
