Stunt Car Racer

This has been kicking around for a while now on the other machines, and pretty dashed amazing it was too (the C64 version was just as nippy as the 16-bit versions). Now the Amstrad version is here, and it joins its cousins in the ranks of being flippin' brilliant.

The graphics are mainly wire-frame 3D, but the sheer speed and feeling of whizzing around a track is astounding. Sound is adequate, with the engine buzz and sounds of the frame cracking when you hit the deck (an occurrence which happens all too often when travelling at full whack).

Stunt Car Racer deserves to be at the top of your shopping list - just for sheer fun value alone, but also because it's still the best racing game going. Take it out for a spin, pronto.

Fast, frantic and most importantly, fun. An absolute corker.
