I played "Stunt Car Racer" on both the Amiga and the Atari ST, it must have been year 1989. It was a great game. I suppose it is possible to hack the game they way it was described in the first post on a real C64, to see the additional cars on the authentic hardware with a lower number of frames per second.

You only compete against one car, my guess he means "road units". So basicly you can see more of the track in front of you. I played the game a lot. I noticed the Amiga and C64 version are exactly the same track wise. Every bump is the same. -- Etienne von Wettingfeld [Apple Mac OS X Tiger] I.C. Sr. S.A.

The last one that knew 6502 asm died long time ago. -- -=[]=--- iAN CooG/HokutoForce ---=[]=- File not found, I'll load something *I* think is interesting.

I think it's an idea that could be explored. It only really applies to certain types of games where there is some sort of detail setting that can be turned up to take advantage of the extra speed. Stunt car racer was obvious because it actually shows you that it can draw a lot more of the track than it normally does (when you're hanging from the crane). So it was just a matter of finding the switch. Another idea would be to take a game like Gunship or Mercenary and try to hack it so that everything moves at half speed. If you then ran it on a system that runs twice as fast as a standard C64, you'd get a game that plays at the same speed as the original but twice as smooth. |
