Stunt Car Racer (published as Stunt Track Racer in the US) is a racing video game developed by Geoff Crammond. Versions for the Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64, MS-DOS, and ZX Spectrum were published in 1989 by MicroProse, under their MicroStyle and MicroPlay labels in the UK and in the US, respectively. An Amstrad CPC port followed in 1990. Two player race each other on an elevated track, with ramps they must correctly drive off as the main obstacle.
The game was released to critical acclaim. The Commodore 64 version's use of 3D vector graphics was met with critical enthusiasm, which was unusual for a game for that platform.
