Description

76 Carmageddon is the original freeform driving sensation, where pedestrians (and cows!) equal points, and your opponents are a bunch of crazies in a twisted mix of automotive killing machines. The game features anarchic drive-wherever-you-like gameplay and over-the-top surreal comedy violence. It’s the racing game where racing is for wimps.

Now the same Mac & PC classic that was BANNED AROUND THE WORLD is back and available on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch!

Carmageddon features real-world environments that have been turned into killing fields, where the locals stay out on the streets at their peril. As well as using your car as a weapon, every level is sprinkled generously with power-ups that have a vast variety of mad effects, adding a whole extra level of craziness to the proceedings. In every event you have the option to “play it your way”… Waste all your opponents, kill every pedestrian, or (perish the thought) complete all the laps. Oh and watch out – the cops in their super-tough armoured patrol vehicles are lurking, and if they catch you being bad they’ll be down on you like several tons of cold pork!

AWARDS AND RECOGNITION FOR THE ORIGINAL GAME
Carmageddon won the “Game of the Year” trophy in the 1997 PC Zone Reader awards. Carmageddon 1 & 2 were “Driving Game of the Year” 1997/1998.

SELECTED REVIEWS OF THE ORIGINAL GAME
Originally released for the PC in 1997, Carmageddon was an instant hit and the titles went on to sell over 2 million copies worldwide. Here’s what a sample of the gaming press thought at the time:

“Carmageddon is visceral, violent, vehicular fun...” - GameSpot 8.8 out of 10

“Carmageddon, to get straight to the point, is one of the best computer games I've ever played… Carmageddon is God!” - Duncan McDonald 95% Classic Award PC Zone Magazine

“Carmageddon is one of those games that only come along once in a blue moon. An essential purchase.” - Escape Magazine 6 out of 6
“The gameplay is spot on and anyone with a dark enough sense of humour should give it a go.” - Computer Gaming World 4 out of 5

“So next time you gun down coppers on GTA VI, just remember, Carmageddon’s controversy was there first, and you have a lot to thank it for.” - RetroGarden

ABOUT STAINLESS GAMES
Stainless was founded in 1994 by Patrick Buckland, a veteran of the games industry going back to the Jurassic period of 1982, and Neil Barnden, who used to have hair like a mammoth. A team of 8 worked on the original Carmageddon at Stainless, and 5 are still with the company today, although a couple of them are now kept manacled in a small padded room in the cellar.

Stainless Games now employs well over fifty mad, dedicated people of assorted gender, height and width. They can all be found dangling precariously from a small chalky rock just off the South Coast of England.

Carmageddon is the '97 classic given just enough of a tweaking to make it feel at home on the iOS platform - there are still some quirks left over from the original, but smashing your way through pedestrians and vehicles alike makes for a disturbingly fun distraction. Date: October 17, 2012

As a touch-screen driving game, Carmageddon is a delight to play; the controls work very well and can be configured quite extensively if you don’t get on with the defaults. Visually it is nowhere near as pixellated and blocky as I feared it would be, thanks to some graphical enhancements and probably the fact that it’s running on a much smaller screen than the original version.

It is a nice touch to see how the game added a driver’s screen at the top corner of the game, so players can see and amuse themselves at how their driver is being thrown around beaten like a ragdoll by their insane stunts. While Carmageddon could do with better graphics to replace the current blocky texture, that hardly affects the awesome gameplay that just screams for gore and violence. One fair note though is to keep this game away from the younger ones, for fear of them developing into rampaging drivers in the foreseeable future. Date: November 20, 2012

The camera is still annoying, particularly for reversing, the steering is questionable and the violence and swearing may be off-putting for some. However, Carmageddon is one of the most fun games you can buy for iPhone. It always has been rough around the edges, but that is kind of the point- Carmageddon is pure, unadulterated carnage, and makes a fine mess on the pristine, principled iOS. Date: October 23, 2012

Carmageddon may have lost its sheen along with its controversial edge, but it's lost none of its schlocky, multilayered charm. Date: October 16, 2012

Carmageddon is a really fun game, but it’s hampered by some bad controls and the fact that it really hasn’t been updated in any way for modern gamers. It’s basically a straight port. But if you can get around the games flaws you’ll find yourself with plenty to do and maybe even a devilish grin on your face as you smash through two and four-legged targets and exploding cars with gore running down your windshield.

Carmageddon is an older game, and it shows even on a mobile device, but people don’t always love old games purely because they’re old. Sometimes they love them because they’re fun. And despite the slippery controls, this bit of nostalgia is still very, very fun. Date: October 18, 2012

Carmageddon was a game I loved in my younger years – and this re-release definitely does it justice – except for no multiplayer! – not trying to mess with what made the game so memorable, both positive and negative. An easy recommendation for fans of the original, and for a new generation of racing fans, Carmaggedon is a unique piece of gaming history that must be experienced. Date: October 23, 2012

Carmageddon has never been a great racing game, not in 1997 and not in 2012. It is however some of the most fun you can have on four wheels in a game. I have already had more fun playing this game than I have ever had in Real Racing or Need For Speed. Sure the gameplay differs greatly, but when I play games it is about having fun. Carmageddon spits at realism, farts at proper handling and pees on fair play, and that is just how I like it. Date: October 13, 2012

The bottom line. Campy carnage makes for some fleeting fun, but the racing thrills don't last long out of the starting gates. Date: October 29, 2012
