  • Would you believe it if I told you there is a game that plays like Trackmania on the N64? Well maybe you shouldn't because I've never played it. However, that's how I feel Stunt Racer 64 plays.

    The number and variety of characters makes me think of back in high school, when everybody wanted to be either a video game producer or anime creator, but all we wanted to do was create characters, none of the boring stuff like backgrounds or coding physics etc. Feel like the character designer for this game finally got his dream job only for it to be for a Blockbuster exclusive racing oriented game but he was still like "Eff it, I'm making a zillion OCs anyway"

I just ordered a copy to add to my blockbuster collection, slowly getting all the N64 games I like with "property of blockbuster" stickers on them and documenting the journey on my youtube channel. I felt so silly earlier making a video about stuntracer and having such a hard time beating the qualifying lap, it took me about 8 tries to do it. Makes sense why I only remember one snowy level from the weekend I rented the game as a kid. lol

    I found this in a local pawn shop around 2002. I had enough money to buy just 1 game & I chose this & a big N64 memory card over Super Mario 64. I think someone had lost the cartridge after renting it from Blockbuster, then sold it after finding it again. I had zero idea that it was a rental-only game or how valuable it would be nowadays.

    Did you try HI-REZ Letterboxed - mode?
    -It runs just as smooth as low rez.(Like WDC, that uses the same graphics engine).
    Overall, this game has really good atmostphere, almost SNES like feel while playing it.
    It also offers similar semi-arcade concept as Wave Race 64, where stunts are not required, they are rather additional fun/challenge for more advanced players.
    Very solid game. It is a true shame that this was not really available, while rubbish games like GT64 are so easy to find everywhere.

    The game switches to "high res" mode during replays, that is from 320x240 normal res to 512x240 letterboxed in a 640x480 interlaced output. That is why you got severe letterboxing during replays; oh, and the game has a resolution option where you can choose either resolution during the race, replays will be always displayed in high res tough.

    Stunt Racer is kind of a Kart racer in drag, but still.
    Edit: Top Gear Rally 1 and 2 are also good 30fps, also Overdrive isn't bad if you turn hi-res completely off.

    Every couple of minutes watching this game in motion in this vid made me exclaim, "Damn this game looks great and has such personality!" It was soo disheartening in the days of the N64 where most games where lazily crafted with little interest or effort from the developers, especially racers! Some racers looked like straight-up vomit with their muddy visuals and the crusty music would grate on a players ears till they bled! That's why i mostly relied on the Ps1 (heavily at that!) for racers in the fifth Gen of consoles, but this gem (and most of the Midway related games like this was), Beetle Adventure (by E.A.of the Need For Speed games on the PS1 too), heck even Star Wars Ep.1 Pod Racer (more flare and style over the somewhat weaker visuals in my opinion) made you proud to be an N64 owner! Mario kart needs no mention, and honestly I only like the SNES, GBA (oddly enough maybe since its like the SNES original), GameCube and Switch ones though! This game should have received at least a port on the Dreamcast with a higher resolution, frame-rate or preferably both! Funny enough the visuals are such a stand out that exceeds many of the Dreamcast's basic attempts anyway!

    • @jsr734
      @jsr734 Před 11 měsíci

      This game was developed by Boss Studios, the same guys who made World Driver Championship also on the N64. I suppose it uses the same engine as WDC so that resolution option should work the same, it increases the rendering resolution from 320x240 to 512x240 and then letterboxed in a 640x480 interlaced video output. Actually even if you chose the "normal" resolution all replays are always displayed in "high res" mode.
