Stunt Car Racer (Kixx)

3D high-speed motor-racing action thrills-'n-spills-type excitement ahoy! Stunt Car Racer gives you a jalopy, a twisty, turny circuit with jumps and high bits and an opponent determined to see you sail off the most dangerous corners and out of the race. You must tear round several tracks at top speed, trying to beat or ram this guy into submission.

Each track features a jump, some criminal bends or some large humps, which you've got to negotiate at just the right speed in order to stay in the race. Too slow and you'll get beaten, too fast and it's into the stratosphere you go. You'll find it's very tricky but immense fun as well.

It's fast, the graphics are great and it's nail-bitingly, nerve-breakingly exciting. You can also race in a tournament with other like-minded pals.

I know it'll be a shock, but it's time to untack the carpet and dig out your 1982 Christmas money, because if you don't get hold of Stunt Car Racer your chums will chide you for millennia to come.

Frame Rate

Fast, fun and fiscally fairly frugal. This is a game worth swapping your toenail collection for. (Failing that, go ahead and buy it!)
