The Ultimate Stuntman is an ambitious, multi-genre action game released as an unlicensed title for the NES in 1992. Developed by Codemasters, the game tasks you with rescuing the kidnapped scientist Jenny Aykroyd from Dr. Evil. What makes it stand out is its constant shifting of gameplay stylesโyou will transition from side-scrolling run-and-gun platforming to overhead driving sequences, top-down shooting, and even wall-climbing stages, keeping the experience varied and challenging throughout.
How to play
Your objective is to survive the distinct stages in each world to reach and defeat the boss. The controls depend on the current gameplay style, but generally rely on the standard NES setup: use the D-pad to move or steer, the A button to jump or accelerate, and the B button to fire your weapon. In the browser, these map to the arrow keys for movement, Z for A, and X for B. Press Enter (Start) to pause the game.
Tips
Ammo for your secondary, more powerful weapons is limited and carries over between sections, so conserve it during the regular stages and unleash it on the tough end-of-world bosses. During the wall-climbing segments, patience is keyโwatch the patterns of falling debris and moving obstacles before making your ascent, as rushing will quickly drain your health.
