  Chocolate Stunts 🍫

  Exciting times in the world of Stunts reverse engineering: new efforts based on the Restunts project are popping up left and right.

  In my eyes though, the release Chocolate Stunts marks a big milestone: it is the first port that sticks close to the original while going well beyond graphic enhancements. I'm thinking in particular of the “press Q to rewind” feature, which can greatly reduce the effort of replay handling.

  To keep racing fair, improvements of this kind need to be accessible to everyone, and Chocolate Stunts is in a good place, with builds for many operating systems, DOS included! Give it a try today, and let us know what you think on the forum

  The landscape is shifting

  From the point of view of the competition, Stunts BB 1.1 remains our reference point, at least for the moment. Racers might use different versions of the game (original, SuperSight, Chocoloate?), but replays must show a valid line in the Stunts version available for download on this website.

  But the Stuntsphere is changing, as they say, gradually, then suddenly. From small patches to extensive mods, to a Cambrian explosion of projects bringing Stunts into the 21st century. We need a conversation to chart the competition's path ahead: how do we keep racing fair and fun with an increasing number of improvements and tools?

  What remains fundamental to ZakStunts is that the replay must be entirely driven by the person submitting it. Sharing with other folks is no-no, and magically generated laps will not be allowed. The spirit of the competition remains to challenge ourselves, to find and execute the fastest route that our fingers, our patience, and the game will allow.

  Again, join us on the Forum to shape what the competition will look like in 2027. And fasten your seatbelt, however many pixels it is rendered with.

  ZCT300 deadline extension

  This Saturday, ZakStunts and the other stunts.hu sites stayed offline for the better part of the day, from early in the European morning up to now, around 22:30 on Budapest time. To avoid compromising anyone's entry due to a hosting (or timezone) misfortune, we are extending the deadline by one day, that is, up to 2026-07-26 23:59:59 Budapest time.
