LGR Plays - Carmageddon Splat Pack

[@LGR]

I stated why in the video, but it's easy to miss: this is the 3DFX/Glide 3D accelerated version. The GOG version of the game being sold now comes with it pre-configured to run like this, and it's awesome.

[@unbridledenthusiasm]

Carmageddon is one of my all time favorites, and the splat pack was an awesome expansion

[@LGR]

With the GOG version? Run the graphics mode setup program it comes with. Choose Direct3D or OpenGL, run in fullscreen. To get the Windows version, follow the link I provided in the video description.

[@noizyme]

Carmageddon was one of my fave games back in the day. It's a good thing it's still getting recognition today.

[@cromulence]

Fun fact - the developers hark from the Isle of Wight, a small island on the south coast, usually know for being a haven for old people to retire to. I've seen Nobby (the head of Stainless games) driving around the island a few times but thankfully his driving is sensible!

[@LGR]

Yes, anyone who pledged $15 or more to the Kickstarter got the game from GOG. They sent out emails with the download voucher September 27th. If you didn't get yours, contact them!

[@LGR]

Yes, that's what I played it on back then, with my Voodoo 2 and 3 cards. Works awesomely. I actually recorded the DOS version running in Glide on a real DOS PC for my Carmageddon review.

[@Madraeus]

That driver cam in the top left corner is very entertaining.

[@AndrewDBarker]

Become a loyal follower of LGR, he does the Duke voice often. :)

[@LGR]

Stainless has been showing off the mobile version of the game at the Eurogamer Expo this past week, so it's still coming!

[@AnnoyingTiger888]

"This car orgy, I did not sign up for this!" Too epic for words.

[@theravendemon]

I spent almost the whole video watching your avatar in the top-left corner. It's one of the few that are actually of high enough quality to be worth having in a game.

[@LGR]

Overall, I enjoy C2 more. More enjoyable maps, better car damage, crazier weapons, etc. But C1 has a certain atmosphere to it that I really do enjoy, and it doesn't have those annoying missions from C2. It's kind of a toss-up, really.

[@Znadder]

That Towtruck is op as hell... used to oneshot other cars with it... Great game, brings back many good memories :)

[@LGR]

If you think *this* is dull, I'd hate to hear your thoughts on bland, regular racing or demo derby games! If you can't see the fun in mowing down pedestrians, killing off your opponents, getting ridiculous power-ups, playing with the physics and damage engine, and roaming around over-the-top, open environments without a care in the world, all while being bombarded with bizarre and twisted humor, then I don't know what to tell you. That stuff's pure bliss to me.

[@LesboNerd]

Hey, thank you so much for spending your time making these reviews on these older games. I like the newer games but there's just something about these older games that I just love.

[@cavegames]

You're the first person I ever heard get reasonably close to Jon St. John's Duke voice. Respect!

[@LGR]

The story, the aggravating missions, the physics, the instability of the program, I could go on. Just not a very fun game, even not comparing it to other Carma games.

[@Wayoutthere]

AT LAST, Carma. Dammit I miss this game. Great video man, brings back memories.

[@Trusteft]

I still remember the levels of this one. I haven't played since it was originally released. Great game. I never managed to like the sequel. The missions you had to do KILLED it for me.

[@cwbeas]

hell yea. About time! First game I remember playing on a LAN i love the cop cars...and the aspen town that looks like SouthPark

[@mirabilis]

The AI was really impressive in this game for the time.

[@TequilaCT]

Good 'ol GOG! Carmageddon ate up a LOT of my time when i was younger. Unfortunately I had the Zombie Version back then, now I have the Uncut version and the lame German Robo-dustbin-boring version. Fingers crossed for Carmageddon 2 on GOG!

[@Singular8ty]

My go-to-game after a tough exam.

[@clmBerserker]

I agree about the missions I never did finish carmageddon 2 because of that(they were realy hard). Thanks for linking the 95 version!

[@built2last31]

the best game ever.... many many many hours on this game! i remember i had dual voodoo 2 video cards i thought i was the man with those

[@TheVanillatech]

Joe Schmoe Glide Carmageddon worked in DOS mode. That was pretty fucking awesome. Didn't even need to run in Windows 95 to enable those Voodoos. I played this from the very first world exclusive demo on the PC Zone cover CD, right through to when I bought my 3Dfx card and my jaw hit the floor staring at that 35fps - 640x480 - bilinear textured "Maim Street" for the first time... Excellent game. Legendary game. PC Master Race game circa 1996.

[@unbridledenthusiasm]

@@TheVanillatech I discovered Carmageddon after pocketing a demo CD that had fallen out of some PC magazine in a store, and was just sitting on the floor. I was blown away

[@TheVanillatech]

@@unbridledenthusiasm Yeah I'm sure it just "fell out" ... XD Great story though. It was amazing the first time you played it. True golden era of gaming.

[@unbridledenthusiasm]

@@TheVanillatech LOL I did steal demo CDs but not this one. Agreed

[@infamousKONVICT]

What a classic game

[@BaldrsDraumr]

Maybe I'm slow, but it took me forever to realize the "Bonus for Artistic Impression" was for sending a pedestrian over your hood like on the case.

[@TheVanillatech]

The clicking of that $100+ mechanical keyboard, probably running this on a quad core i7 aren't you, LGR? :D I remember smashing this out at a fluid 30fps on my Pentium 200mmx and a Microsoft XStone PS2 keyboard I stole from college one night while the cleaning ladies were smoking a cigarette outside... Banging, son.

[@Juumpei]

This brings such great memories, I still occasionally shout: WRONG CHECKPOINT!

[@paulpetroleum]

Oh how I loved this game back in the day, Still a fun one to pick up and play, and yes the new version looks awesome. Can't wait!

[@studiograham]

One of the first games I ever played on pc. Totally awesome!

[@acidsyringe69]

The best part about this game is the character's expressions in the top left corner.

[@ElPrezzy]

I love these videos so much. You have an excellent taste in videogames.

[@MyHamburgerIsWet]

That would be Duke Nukem but the voice actors name is Jon St.John, and he does the Duke impression in most of his videos that I've seen I've seen about half of them.

[@emoldandriel]

Been playing this and the original game this days, and had a blast!

[@JadedAce8727]

i feel very greatful for seeing this video from Lgr that got me into the series 😎👍

[@AmayirotAkago]

The Carmageddon games remain some of my all-time favorites, minus TDR 2000 of course, but I fortunately didn't have the misfortune of ever playing that one. I'm not one for racing games normally, but the amount of freedom and violence offered in these is just too much fun to pass up.

[@MrTuco40]

Haha. He doesnt do the duke voice enough! Do the whole damn thing as Duke. It never gets old for me.

[@SpooferJahk]

This game is freaking fantastic, and this is coming from a guy who never played it back in the day so I have no nostalgia with it.

[@Adefesio94]

Im totally In on this channels... Cause it reflects the kind of gamer that I am, the atmosphere and feeling that I get when playing certain games, using certain software, hearing certain sounds and smelling certain cd's that bring me back so many memories... Ms Dos.. Old Pc's... Big Crt Monitors that doesn't shows up Pixels... Read an old Manual that has a date from 1998... And im Just 19 years old ... but since I grew up with this...

[@JimPlaysGames]

Man the violence in this is so damn cathartic. The satisfaction of driving your opponent into the wall and seeing them explode and go flying while pedestrians get indiscriminately splatted all around. It doesn't get better than this. At least until Carmageddon Reincarnation, fuck yeah!

[@HourOfOblivion]

Oh man Clint, the Windows version looks so sweet and runs so smooth! If only the IPX style multiplayer from DOSBox could be used in this version...

[@QbertTehKiller]

This game shaped my childhood.

[@karras85]

best car game ever... great phisycs... i still play some races every month...

[@LGR]

That *is* what I do... during reviews. But this is not a review, it's an unscripted "let's play" episode. The entire point is to play the game and make commentary while I'm playing, and adding a fake voiceover would achieve the opposite effect. I don't care what James does, this is what I do :)

[@srcheddar]

Oh man, nostalgia overload! Now I gotta find my old Carmageddon CD

[@LGR]

I don't own or use any iOS devices (or anything by modern Apple at all). So no, it's not happening. I'm waiting on the Android version.

[@pc_gameplay_vids]

great stuff dude, seeing this vid made me buy from GoG. Cant wait for the new carmageddon game as well, gonna be sick!

[@Emualynk]

Not really, I've been playing it for the past few days and it really is as good as I remembered back then, and I loved it back then.

[@Vtripp86]

Carmageddon has to be one of mankind's greatest achievements. The game physics still hold up surprisingly well even today and its more addictive then meth, cocaine and taco's all put together! I'm really excited about the new game coming out, if its even half as good as the first I'm all up in that. Thanks for posting this video, even watching someone play this is crazy fun. Also I agree, TRD2000 was garbage.

[@hippiechick7897]

Looks fun! Definitely a stress relief game!

[@plan7a]

:D - thank you for the information Clint, I hope it will be a great version and that it plays well too.

[@radarlockeify]

Love this game. I had a sort through of old cd roms and found this, carmageddon 1 and 2. Need to run pedestrians down!!!

[@knivesron]

its a great cursor i cant argue that, but have you seen nox's one. that one is awsome

[@misterninetyseven2898]

This game is so sick and twisted lmao

[@Polaventris]

Cant wait for th new Carmageddon game!

[@P4INKiller]

Heads up! Android version available for free May 10th only!

[@MagikGimp]

I had no idea Carmageddon was one of ours. I'm a bit surprised by that but then again I'm not considering where Rockstar came from.

[@EdyAlbertoMSGT3]

2:22 that flags are from the stadium at the city

[@kipparimies]

The cop siren freaking out is due to its getting stuck in oil. Going to do carma 2 review? Love your videos!

[@stevef4010]

I remember Knight Riders map well...cool as hell. Indoor racing FTW.

[@lurkerrekrul]

The handling takes some getting used to? That's an understatement! It's like driving on ice!

[@shantheman9922]

you sound like duke nukem

[@TheCoolmanawsome]

*takes off fedora* *hands over fedora to David Shannon* *slow clap*

[@knivesron]

thats lgr's thing.

[@A_Player]

CANT WAIT FOR CARMAGEDDON 3 >:D

[@DandelionVolta]

Suddenly I feel an urge to play Carmageddon and Wild Metal Country

[@cherrypop1685]

They now have carmagedon for iPod!

[@wabbit234]

I really hope gog do a Carmageddon 2 release as well.

[@studiograham]

One of the first games I eve

[@LGR]

Like saying flight sims are better played with a joystick... it's a given :)

[@alexanderveritas]

*Ah yes, the perfect game for the chemically **_”unbalanced”_*

[@Idelacio]

Hehe, well the cops don;t do you any favours but you can steal that special forces APC. I remember when I got that.... jeez it just wrecks EVERYTHING, including the cop cars. XD I remember it being hell to get for worth it for the satisfaction value alone.

[@TheColmarr]

I carmageddon 2 I hated the mission in the end of airport track. It was the one where you had to jump in to Air traffic control tower

[@lmttn]

Would you ever do a review or LGR Plays on Carmageddon 2 or TDR 2000? I think that would be pretty cool.

[@Cyberbrickmaster1986]

Have you ever heard the song "Get ready to die" by Andrew W.K.? I think that would be an appropriate song to play in a Carmageddon game!

[@Nchan1999]

Classy, yeah right.

[@Songbearer]

Any game sounds dull when you boil it down to the essentials. If you play the game in a dull way then of course it's going to be tedious - The joy of Carmageddon comes from what crazy things happen during a race. The majority of players aren't going to bonk a driver over and over until they win like a robot, they're more likely to ram someone then ramp over a hill and splatter a herd of cows. Most of the fun for me comes from pulling off insane stunts, the physics are still rewarding even today.

[@83jack12]

i just got carmageddon splat pack i game fun great way to kill the hours

[@tussletoes]

I think there's a T-1000 truck from Terminator, aswell.

[@daskraut]

13:45 yup, splat pack was pretty unstable. crashed on me every second race back then. also the tow truck was my favorite car to drive!

[@Turbo.RF4]

TOWMEISTER

[@HUNDOLOS]

5:48 "Ohh there's a nice combo over there" - If that's how you see the world from behind the wheel, especially if with a Terminator-style HUD, better use the bus :D

[@yostoyou]

I wish Carmageddon 2 will get a GOG treatment. It's a bitch to get it running smoothly on Windows 7.

[@TomeeDee86]

i fully agree with that... 1 & 2 are unique! and also it's sad, you have to drive over zombies because of the censure... keep on reviewing, phreakindee! i really enjoy your reviews! btw... i don't know what you think about platform games, but i'd really enjoy a review of Heart Of Darkness from you... or don't you like it that much? however i'm impressed of Eric Chahi's works, i also really enjoyed Another World (Out Of This World)

[@MLGertzert]

Nice video, would you consider reviewing one of the X-COMs in preparation for the new one being released? ;)

[@RetroHellspawn]

LGR, good sir, you have a sexy Duke Nukem impression. :D

[@Bigbacon]

the driver always reminded me of the singer from the Clash for some reason.

[@tussletoes]

Don't forget the turtle van.

[@speedysandisk78]

I prefer C1, C2's pedestrians were so low poly it took most of the fun out of hitting them, even though they exploded into giblets. There's a Glide3D patch available for Carmageddon 1, if you use a Glide enabled version of DOSbox together with a Glide wrapper (I recommend Configurator) you can enjoy Carmageddon in high resolution with smooth textures.

[@DaPajamas]

01:12 lol the green and red signs xD

[@TadRaunch]

I remember when people were freaking out about this game

[@AstreaZero]

i wish there should be a mod for Carmaggedon where you run over the cast of the Emoji movie

[@Ultranist]

GOTY for all years to come

[@DSDMovies]

Got the first game on Android the other day for free. I'd never really played it before as I didn't have a PC at the time. Played 2 quite bit about 6 years ago. Found myself enjoying the Android version last night. The atmosphere in 1 is better than 2, it is more raw and anarchic. Hopefully the new game will feel more like 1 than 2. For me the second game's main drawback is the polygon pedestrians lack personality compared to the sprites.

[@K_Bone]

Someone should make LGR a Racer and a Car in Carmageddon :D

[@megakek4457]

Thanks for mentioning this. I too didn't receive it, or so I thought. Appears Gmail marked it as 'Bulk' mail and so it nevered showed in my inbox.

[@P4INKiller]

I've played it on my Galaxy Note quite a bit. It's a really well made port, the touch controls don't bother me like I thought they would. Technically speaking it's better than the PC game thanks to modern processing, it feels smooth and looks great. Carmageddon has a lot of character compared to the later games, it's the best in my opinion.

[@Shakezulla]

Bet u had the note 5 at the time... I. Watching this on my note 9

[@rhodesy761uk]

i got my version in a 3 game pack called vicious cool game in the day

[@HDXFH]

Lol duke nukem impersonations funny as

[@Melinmingle]

Playing this at 8 years old made me the monster i am today

[@ShiroColdkeyesTheHedgehog]

I have Carmageddon on my iPad and Android Phone :) RAZR MAXX
