I love Stunts! No other game that I know of has made an incredibly clunky gameplay and controls so fun. When I was a kid, I would make custom tracks for hours and hours. I wish some game could capture it's spirit and make a modern version, since Stunts hasn't aged well.

Agreed! Stunts was one of my go-to driving games. Driving was fun, track making was fun. Playing against crazy characters like Bernie Rubber or Helen Wheels was great. Heck, the music was great too.

did you check the trackmania series?

Played TrackMania Nations Forever so much when I was younger. It was a great time to relax and chat with people from all over the world.

That game struck an interesting balance between trying to improve your lap times and just socialize and hang out. The tracks playing in the background added a lot to the sense of everyone hanging out in the same place. Always looked forward to the current map changing, they always managed to keep it interesting.
