Evolution of Carmageddon games (1997-2016)

I was playing the first 2 at a local gaming/internet cafe back in the late 90's. Me and some friends even rented the whole cafe one New Year's Eve and spent all night playing Carmageddon, Starcraft, Fifa, Quake 2. Fun times.

[@nickyjames1985]

C1 had such a great atmosphere, played it for hours on end

Love the dancing cow at the end 🤣

[@ЯсенАспарухов]

Yeah me too

[@jamesdominguez7685]

One of my all-time greatest bits of "how the hell did they do that?" game technology was the car body deformation and detachable body panels in Carmageddon 1 and 2. This was at a time when other car games didn't even have scratchable paintwork, but here's this weird blood-splattered novelty game with absolute top-tier driving physics for the time and an industry-first solid body deformation system. People tend to remember these games for their shock value and how upset they made politicians and concerned parents groups, and far too often the incredible technology on display gets ignored. Stainless did absolutely incredible work and they deserve more credit for pushing games technology forward.

[@kylebeck3910]

I agree bro there really put the work in to games back in the days

[@wes8723]

Man, that graphical jump from Carmageddon 1 to 2 was massive.. and there was only one year difference between them

[@chaotic2050]

yeah those were the times when you had to buy a faster comp every 2months

[@ozar1472]

Don't forget the damage model, you could even split car in a half, in freaking 1998!

[@despeinadormisterioso5741]

it was the jump of graphic cards.. everything had to be accelerated tru 3d accelerators and every game got his remake too xD

[@surject]

..and still I prefered the software rendering (and still do). Your brain fills in the missing pixels. 3DFX was just a blurry mess and callous. Same with Screamer btw. - played in software mode. Quake was a bit special if I remember correctly ...the performance became a problem and hence I 'had to' use Glide/3DFX, doesn't change the fact it looked like crap. It took a few years until textures and became hires enough and polygon count rised enough to make 3D accelerated graphics look good. Around GTA3 and BF1942.

[@rovervitesse1985]

Downloading 100s of additional cars for carmageddon 2 was a blast. Spends years playing that game

[@Esa826]

I love Carmageddon! Started from the original, spend so many hours playing it. It's still really awesome. Carmageddon 2 was really good, some of the missions were hard, needed much practice to win those. TDR I had issue with timer. I mean you get only so much time for running over people, crashing opponents so I would run out of time like every race. Reincarnation was great but needed really powerful PC to run it well, also wish they would have added something little more like tracks, cars, different pedestrians, more variety and it was quite short. Wish they would make new Carmageddon game like Carmageddon + Carmageddon 2 put together + adding much more features, bigger maps, cars, pedestrians, more gore, more customizing options for the cars, maybe even mode when you are the pedestrian trying to avoid getting run over. Something unique to the series...

[@bdawgg_73__]

Tdr did have its issues but still perfer it over the newer versions anything past tdr is pretty trast and the newest are just basically graphic updates to melt ur pc lol Like you said I wish they just added to the new ones and even revert to carmagadon 2 with new Vehicles pedestrians Maps I would be absolutely happy and glad they would purchase it I don't even care about like the 1997 graphics. Still better then the new

[@ohnhai]

Actually bigger maps were counter productive. We had a much bigger industrial map in grey box but you never could find anyone (especially with true 3d maps) and we opened up and filled in the space between roads on coastal C and it suffered with the same problem of having too much space….

[@rudeboyrudje96]

Played the 2000 version on PC! Never got bored of it!

[@lancemalvey597]

Ahhh... 1997 bargain bin PC game of the year, I remember it fondly until it was banned, I was one of the only kids around my area that knew about this game.

A difficult game but that was what I meant, I was looking for something to prove myself, I cursed a lot, I kept losing on missions, a tiring game for tough players, my friends said it was too difficult and they prefer the older versions because they are simple.

[@baldox9138]

I am a fan of the saga, and I also like Carmageddon Max Damage (2016). Beatiful maps to explore, car design and power abilities. However, car handling is really bad, and that of finding a good crash is hard. They should have made it even more "arcade". Also, additional maps and car packs could have enriched the game, which unfortunately seems dead.

[@Maeddn11]

Thank you for bringing back those memories. I got C1 as the German version with androids. I was so hyped when I saw someone playing Carpocalypse and there were actually pedestrians. And the graphics jump was huge. My favorite level was C2 the one where you had to wipe out all pedestrians and one was standing on a big rock. Had real hard times to get up there. But soooo awesome

[@SmokerFace12]

The first is definitely the best one, despite the pixelated graphics.

[@RltchieI]

They weren’t as pixelated if you used high-res mode by adding -hires to the end of the CARM95.EXE shortcut which doubled the resolution to 640x480. Made it look more like the iOS version of the game. Mind my rig at time was likely classed as high spect vs the game specs. P200 MMX, 32mb of ram, 4mb Matrox Mystique 2D/3D card, 4mb Diamond Monster 3DFX accelerator card & 2.5gb Seagate Medalist Pro HDD. Ahh those were the days.
