Carmageddon remakes?

[Grumps82]

Out of interest, did anyone actually do the races on this game? Not once did I try to race, always just went for running folk over and smashing the other cars to retirement...

Yep, I only did a couple of races. It was so much fun to destroy the other cars. There was talk a while ago of them bringing out a new version. Shame its not happening though .

There was a couple of racers I approached 'properly', usually ones where for one reason or another it was hard to waste opponents (typically due to a lot of water).

Most of the tracks however it was actually pretty hard to stay on course and do the checkpoints.

If there's one game crying out for another sequel it is Carma. TDR2000 was a huge let down due to harsh timelimits and powder-puff collisions, and that was like 7 years ago now. I guess the only problem would be getting the game past the censors what what all the recent hype over GTA, Manhunt et al.

If they remade Carmageddon with todays graphics and realism it would be banned

Not a game, but find a copy of the 80's B flick Death Race 2000- That's where Carmageddon nicked the whole concept from (Few minor tweaks, but instantly recognisable).
Watchable film too

Play BF2, Jalalabad 64 player server with a DPV and you will have similar gameplay

Will it run on XP/Vista?

The first two are great games, steer clear of TDR2000 though.

You might want to check out GLIDOS which lets you play the 3dfx DOS glide version of Carma under windows on other hardware.

It would seem so

I bet the box isn't as big as mine (huge Carmageddon "Max Pack" containing Carmageddon, Splat Pack, Mousemat and Keyring) It's kinda like a 'widescreen' shape!

Both carma 1 and 2 (in both hw and software modes) run on xp on my old lappy, but that's a p3 600 mhz + 8mb rage + 192 mb ram thing so I dunno.

Carma 2 runs on my 6800GS on main pc but depends on drivers in hardware mode (a lot of drivers make it crash b4 launching), software mode always works but then it looks worse as carma 1 so no point in playing it like that imo.
Didn't try carma 1 on my current pc.

When I worked for SCi I held the Carmageddon 1 gold disk, found it with a bunch of other masters - even though it was just the dvd casually spammed with some black marker pen it felt good!

Bit late now but I was going to mention it also, didn't realise when I was 10 when I played this originally but you gotta watch the move this is based on.

DEATH RACE 2000.

Frankensteins car is just like the one in the game.
