Anyone looking for a great game to give to themselves for X-mas?? Well, I have seen a real doozy! It's called Stunt Car Driver, and is roughly a cross between Falcon and Pole Position. You are the driver of a stunt car in a 3-D gamespace, jumping and swerving, etc. Excellent graphics, and has an option for connecting two ST's via (null) modem for some really good two player action. All in all, worth the price (rare for a game). Bob Marley

The author, Geoff Crammond, used to write some of the most amazing games for the BBC Micro (Aviator - Best BBC flight sim ever, Revs - Best driving game, Sentinel - Strange 3D power struggle). I have no connection with Geoff other than the fact that his brother used to work here. But that's not why I recommend Stunt Car Racer. A game you should definately NOT buy is Hard Drivin'. It's a piece of *&%$! Only the graphics are the same as the original. It's slow, buggy and a complete insult to the capabilities of the ST. I guess that's why Domark were only showing on TT's at the recent computer shows. You get a big stoopid plastic box with a disk, a badge and a sticker in it.
