Carmagedon

[DaemianLucifer]

Roaring of the mighty engine,smell of burning gasoline,and blood sprayed over your windshield!Is there anything better? One of the very rare inovative game,a race where your goal is to smash your opponents into tiniest bits,and to kill innocent bystanders.Played both parts,and I never finished a single race regulary(go through the checkpoints),although I did finish one by killing all of the zombies(not a special mission in carmagedon 2,but one regular race in part one).My favourite car vas vlads rocket in part one.As for part two,I usually drove some heavy machinery,fully upgraded of course

Carmaggedon was quite a fun game, there's nothing like running amok with a vehucle in the middle of a mob of squishy little humans. Too bad they made them green blooded zombies in the second one.

Of course i never did really care about actualy completing missions, just squashing people, so i never did finish either of them.

Actually, there were no zombies in the 2nd one Titan. That was in the 3rd game, which was terrible becuase you almost had to complete the race by finishing the laps. It really ruined the game by stripping your freedom to either destroy your opponent's cars or kill every single pedestrian on the map. Nothing quite as satisfying as hitting a person on a roof, having them cling to your hood, and then hitting the brakes to send them flying to their death. It was good, sadistic fun for the whole family!

And whilte the rocket car was nice DL, it was no suppressor. Nothing like hitting a little car with a 6 wheeled assault vehicle and sending it flying into the atmosphere.

Oh, right. Then i probably never played #1. It's been awhile.

Oh man I loved those games

Mad Max face when you did a tight turn, the police tank car that you couldn't possibly defeat and ofcourse, all the pedestrians you could kill

I normally went down some mainstreets on the place where pedestrians walk and kill dozens of'em. Then in the end I made a braketurn (sp?) and killed a few more and got awarded some style points.

You know that Carmageddon 4 is on its way? Can't wait to drive over people in glorious 3D with pixelshaders

Other games that are like Carmageddon are Twisted Metal and Vigilante 8. Love them both but they're console games

[ThunderTitan]

Interesting. Apparently all the games had Zombie versions.

I remember watching my brother play Carmageddon when I was really young. I kept annoying him so that he might leave and let me play something else

Funny,but I think they were zombies in C2,though with red blood.I seem to remember that they were going "gah" and stuff like that.

Actually you could.I had solid granit car once and pounded that tank until it blew up.Also,once I threw it into the mine field(very late in the game)and killed them like that.But I still needed a lot of repaires after that one.

the thing i remember as most gratifying from the first one was lightning attack and the football field, mowing down one team at a time!!!! mega bonus!!!!

Actually the first version of the game had humans with red bloods, but with all kinds of pressure coming from conservative political groups and parties, they changed it to zombies with a patch, and the repacks of the first game always had green zombie blood..

Other games never had humans, they always had zombies; but fanmade patches allowed humans and red blood...

I remember Iron Maiden was featured in Carmageddon II, I guess the spot was on 'Bring your daughter to the slaughter', which unfortunately is one of the worse Iron Maiden songs; not that most people that played Carmageddon hadn't heard of the band...

[asandir]

I only ever played the game in it's first incarnation, so I had humans and real blood!!! and although it was fun for a while, i lost interest fairly quickly

I think the non-American versions of the first two had zombies, but the American versions didn't have zombies anywhere in it. The first game had "living" sprites and the 2nd had 3D people, but none of them were zombies. They also had red blood in both games. Carpocalypse Now (Carmaggedon 3) had the purplish zombies with green blood.

[DaemianLucifer]

Wasnt carpocalipse now actually number two?The one I had had red blood,but the zombies always weng "gah" and stuff like that,plus all the weapons were named after zombies,like "zombie repulsificator",etc.

[Omega_Destroyer]

My mistake, Carpocalypse Now was number 2, but the American version didn't have any zombies. The 3rd one was the one with the zombies.
