Play Stunt Track Racer Online

Stunt Track Racer is a racing game released in 1989 for the MS-DOS platform. Developed and published by Microplay Software, it is a driving game presented from a first-person perspective inside the vehicle. The game features races conducted on elevated stunt tracks.

The player controls a race car, competing directly against a single computer-controlled opponent in each event. The objective is to finish in first place to advance through a league structure, starting in the fourth division where three cars race each other twice. Progression involves winning these matchups to move up. Each race consists of three laps on a track suspended high above the ground, with an on-screen display showing the distance to the opponent. Key gameplay systems involve navigating the stunt course, which includes jumps, gaps, and moving drawbridges, and managing a limited turbo boost resource. The turbo provides a temporary speed increase, but using it all at once can leave the car without a boost later. Players must also avoid crashing, as significant damage to the car's engine persists and affects performance in subsequent races.

Track navigation requires careful handling of the car's speed and trajectory, especially when approaching jumps and steeply banked turns. Falling off the track results in a time penalty as the vehicle is reset to the course. The core loop involves racing, managing vehicle condition and boost fuel, and mastering the unique track layouts to defeat the opponent and climb the league rankings.
