Overview
Description

Set in a speculative future, Stunt Racer 64 lets you pilot classic cars retrofitted with turbo engines and jet mounts. Perform flips, barrel rolls, and other mid‑air tricks to earn cash while racing on floating circuits. The cash you collect upgrades your ride’s performance and aesthetics, though you can’t sell the vehicles. Play solo or challenge a friend in split‑screen mode for high‑octane competition.

Wipeout 64 brings the futuristic combat racing franchise to the Nintendo 64, offering high-velocity anti-gravity craft racing across demanding tracks. Players navigate tight turns and steep drops while collecting offensive and defensive weapons to eliminate rival racers. Developed by Psygnosis, this installment features exclusive tracks, a Challenge mode, and split-screen multiplayer support for competitive racing action. The game retains the signature sleek visual style and pulse-pounding techno music that defined the series.
