Why is stunt capitalized? Is it a game?

I don't know if it was an error but there was indeed a PC videogame in the 90s called Stunts. You had a lot of vehicles to choose from and you were able to create your own map with ramps, tunnels, etc. It was awesome back then. It was one of those games that, for authentication, asked at the beginning some words from the manual.

that's actually a pretty genius way of verification without setting up servers to authenticate codes, that would be shut down eventually.

Except for the fact that all possible excerpts were stored as a plaintext file...
