Flight of the camcorders.



<span class="bold">Stunt Island</span>, the unique flight and filming simulator where you capture your best aerial acrobatics on film, is now available on Windows, Mac, and Linux, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 10% launch discount.

Games are very good at offering us these cool moments of thrilling escapism, fulfilling audacity, and daring heroics that we wish were possible (or safe) to pull off in the real world. Wouldn't it be cool if we could somehow doctor these moments to perfection and put them in a thrilling motion picture for our virtual audiences to enjoy? As a daredevil pilot/ stuntman/ filmmaker, you can do just that in the (relative) safety of Stunt Island! Over 50 aircrafts and 1000 movie props are waiting to star in your spectacular antics that -once put on film- will give you the fame and glory you deserve. Or, if you're still short on cash, you can just hop on your plane and undertake stunt missions for money, all the while planning your big breakout in the industry as a bigshot Hollywood director of high-caliber action movies. Just keep flying (and aiming) high!



Pull off the most captivating acrobatics ever filmed as you're flying around <span class="bold">Stunt Island</span> -- DRM-free on GOG.com.
The 10% discount lasts until December 28, 10:59 PM UTC.

muntdefems: However, didn't most of these old games in GOG had their protection systems 'hacked'? I.e. you could input anything you wanted and the game would accept your answer as good.
Appears to still be an issue:

Surprising.

les4pommes: Where do you find the passwords (airplane take off speeds) once download is done??

muntdefems: Let me guess: you're either younger than 30, or you never played a computer game back in the 90s, did you? :P

The answer to most of these copy protection systems was always in the manual, and that's where you can find airplane speeds and max altitudes for this game.

EDIT: Nope, I've just checked it and this one requires you to enter the right answer. Which is quite a PITA without messing with its DOSBox configuration as it launches in fullscreen mode and you cannot Alt-Tab out of it to check the PDF manual. :(
Thanks for the quick reply. That's a big bummer; having to print a 200-page manual!! BTW, I got Stunt Island back when the kids were growing up and they have great memories. They are in their late 20s and will love to play again.

You could try pressing Alt+Enter when it asks you for the password. This switches Dosbox into windowed mode, meaning you can then open the PDF file to look it up. Afterwards, you can press the combination again to switch back to fullscreen.

However, since I don't own Stunt Island, I can't say for sure if this works.

Just checked: it does. At least with the Linux version of the game, but I guess it'll work on macOS and Windows as well.

Thanks for the tip! I've still got so much to learn about DOSBox. :P
