Stunts was so good. Ran it on my 1MB 386. You could record games and play them back from different angles.

You could design your own tracks and I remember finding a glitch if you raced the indycar at top speed towards the biggest ramp where it would fly into the air and be bound only by the top of the coordinate system. Great times (and I don't even like car games...)

I love stunts so much I did a song using only dosbox recorded stunts wave files as samples.

also check out the song's pixel artwork, a remix of the main game screen.

What REALLY blew my mind is when I found that there were third-party editors that allowed you to build regular roads on water... but they would break as soon as you tried to open them in the built-in editor. Some custom-made tracks also made the game glitch by only showing some obstacles once you were basically one grid coordinate away (e.g. slalom obstacle would be invisible just until the moment you are about to hit it...). Fun times!

Edit: Also took me YEARS to figure out that you could edit your own terrain with Shift+F1!
