When I was 11 years old I remember being out to recess one day and seeing a kid with a juice box playing on a bench. He had popped out all the seams so the box became more fluid and was pushing it about on the seat. I spotted him and said "Oh dear, jelly suspension". This kid looked up and said "do you play Carmageddon too?!" I laughed and said yes and we got to talking. 21 years later we are still friends and have fond memories of this game.
I'm from Brazil. I remember when Carmageddon was banned. Games being banned was unheard of back then. Some years later, Counterstrike would be briefly banned in Brazil too.
I never understood why Brazil did this. I mean is Brazil a shining example of morale standing? Is violence nonexistent in Brazil? Vice? Corruption? What did they gain from the banning?
@@Krystalmyth "Brazil see US do, Brazil do the same." Is probably the closest explanation. Our current president embodies it very well, he would give our satelite launching bases away and talks about morality as if everything could be solved through the gospel of prosperity kind of churchs that took hold through televangelists.
I appreciated that the original Carmegeddon included a driver cam to document the shocks and glee registering on your face, and a gender option to register as a female or male psychopath. Later games in the series neglected to acknowledge that vehicular manslaughter is so gratifying to either sex.
Man... this is one of the best channels on UA-cam bar none. Well done, well narrated and edited, and immensely entertaining and engrossing content and themes.
I was in dorms in my first year at Uni, 1996, the demo for Carmageddon was released and got heavy play with me and my friends. We were bummed when the finished game came out and it was toned down with the change to zombies.
The game came out with the real pedestrians orginally. If I remember correctly the Zombies were bought in later (Robots in Germany), but a simple patch could get the pedestrians back again. The Zombies were made (I made them) after the original game had been released in the UK.
Wow, you've already been doing this kind of videos back in 2011?! And it's even narrated just as good as your more recent videos! Have you ever made non-awesome content?
Carmageddon was the only game my dad ever cared about, except trying out the new GTAs when we got them. He loved running people over... and his road rage definitely explains some of that lol. I'm just happy you brought up the Conflict series, as I completely forgot they existed. I played and finished all of them, amazing to know a company half responsible for Carm was involved... I luv games
Carmageddon 2 is still one of my alltime favourites! All those nights just goin absolute carnage was such great fun. Game still holds up great to this day.
Not true, unfortunately. The timer had no digits to display time bigger than 19-59, but when you went into the map view - the entire time accumulated was displayed there. My biggest was 124 minutes or so.
+Lord Dirt I wondered about that too. Maybe it's because TM kinda slipped under the radar? I was still quite young when I first played TM2: World Tour (still my favourite game to this day) but I don't remember there being that much of an uproar over it. In fact I don't remember anyone really going after the Twisted Metal series at all. My memory isn't the best so I could be wrong.
+otacon152 In the first Twisted Metal there was supposed to be live action "violence" being portrayed as cut-scenes. The developer was pressured to take them out. You can find these deleted scenes on UA-cam. Twisted Metal 2, there was some controversy to the violent animation and the ability to run people down.
+Zan I had no idea! Thanks for the info. I always thought it funny that I'd heard no mention of TM being attacked, I guess I was just too young to notice it. I found the "lost" endings for TM1 on here but couldn't find anything else. Are those what you were referring to?
Of note is that each event has a "peds shown on map" power-up barrel, which does exactly what it says on the tin. Makes the ped annihilation victory _way_ easier.
+Cha4k Yup. You might be able to find it elsewhere, try google it's going to be on some abandonware site. If you know how to use dosbox, you can play it.
Never forgot this game. Spent around two months at evenings with it 25 years ago :) Quarantine definitely deserve a proper remake without political correctness and moral castration.
I am surprised that the video missed out Deathtrack though... released in 1989 for the PC and it was a first person "racing" game with weapons (and management, so you have to be economical on your top tier weapons or you may not make enough from the race to upkeep the usage), vehicle upgrades, and a career mode...
An awesome trip down memory lane this was and you forgot to mention a worthy game that can be added to this list which is “Quarantine”. Vehicular combat and also mowing down pedestrians who lob Molotov cocktails at you. Ah! Memorieeees
Twisted Metal came out 2 years before this game they deserve some credit so does Vigilante 8/second offense. Die Hard Trilogy deserves honorable mention here with 3 games in one package the 3rd one you could run people over and their blood would end up on the windshield and the wipers would kick in and wipe it off. Carmageddon is based on large open world environments which coincide with Twisted Metal big open world levels.
Carmageddon 2 was such a fun game. I had so much fun with the demo (which had only one level), that I bought the full game at full price. That was the first sand-box type game that I ever played, and it was loads of fun. The vehicle damage physics were incredibly detailed, more detailed than most games even today. Multi-car pileups were particularly fun, and it was so detailed that a big crash would never happen in the same way more than once. The game even had a built-in replay recording system, allowing you to save video files which you could then show to your friends. I really wish that I hadn't lost mine! The game definitely needed a bit more polish though, as the controls were super sketchy and the sound was pretty terrible. It was way ahead of its time.
Carmageddon was one of my first games I played on my fathers PC. It was a 133mhz Pentium and I was just 9 years old. I played the german version with no blood, but it was fantastic!!!
Wow - I'd forgotten about the Death Race game. My local mall arcade had one, and they hung on to it until it broke down. I spent a lot of quarters on that machine as a kid. (And no, I never have actually run people down on the road. )
I played it into holes before my driving exams. We hadn't had a car in the family and that was an affordable addition to the driving classes. After all, game physics is very good. I passed the exams since you asked. Also, after all those wobbly cars in the game, I have very good imprinted reflexes for steering out of skidding. It saved my offline car three or four times from getting totaled on the wet and sleety roads.
Badlands was another awesome post-apocalyptic racing arcade game from 1989, it featured several tracks with cars that had machines guns and rocket launchers and you could upgrade your car, I played it on Midway Arcade Treasures 3.
@10:45 its honestly one of my all time favorite games right next to the great such as transport and rollercoaster tycoon, the music the just good enough 3d rendering without the need to be overly realistic, the secrets, the options... still a blast to play
Was expecting to see "rock n Roll racing" in this video, one of the very first blizzard game and one of my best childhood memory on super nes that totally cover the "racing & shooting your opponent" topic
Carmageddon had a special release in germany. While the UK and some other countries had Zombies bleeding green blood, the german version featured non-humanoid robots in various shapes and sizes.
The number of views in this video is just around 300k. That is too small for Retro Ahoy's standard. Means this game is that this series is so underappreciated.
This high quality video was made in 2011? Okay, i know that youtube kinda has moved back a -bit- allot in recent years but this is extremely high quality even for now!
Since the original release of the video, Carmageddon has returned with Carmageddon: Reincarnation by Stainless Games onto Steam. Sadly, the reboot just isn't very good. Graphics are not that great of an improvement on the third game in the series, much smaller stages, clunky physics, and horrible optimization (Totalbiscuit's monster of a rig could only play it on medium with any decent frame rate).
+notbobby125 The sad thing is that it's actually a fantastic game. The horrendous optimization is what killed it. The big patch they did recently DID make the optimization a whole lot better. It's still not where it should be, but I can actually play it at a solid framerate now on my few-years-old gaming laptop.
+notbobby125 While it still requires work, the latest patch really improves the game and they have promised further optimization. The game now looks great, but still requires optimization and I think it's a pretty excellent game and a worthy sequel to Carma 1 and 2.
Very nice retrospective about the Carmageddon series. Tanks for the video! I really like the recent title Reincarnation, and its upgraded version Carmageddon Max Damage. Too bad that this game wasn't a financial success (from what I have heard).
I loved Demolition Derby. Me and my brothers liked taking turns trying to cause the biggest car crashes possible and see how far everyone's cars went flying. IIRC there was a setting that made all the AI opponents gang up on you, smashing into each other in a kamikaze frenzy.
I always thought the car that shot electricity out was the most fun car. Might not have the best armor and whatnot, but it makes the ped victory much easier.
The only time I managed to beat a race by wiping out the peds - Mist Me! race and Electric Blue to reach two peds on a strut by the bridge. Or maybe I cheated an Electro Bastard Ray...
I had to go back and replay the first game because of this video. One thing I remember very well was that the cars are really hard to control and have awful turning radius.
I own the trilogy on PC and the Splat Pack to the first game, as well as the Game Boy Color game. There was a PS1 port produced, but its U.S. release was cancelled. It was released in Europe however.
Remember when Matrix was released and the bullet time was a cool new thing. I played Carmageddon 2, smashed into stuff and then you could pause the game and zoom and rewind.. was hella cool to see such 3D action frozen in time.. What a great game it was.
Funny thing is that no one knew that game in Brazil before it was banned. The ban only made it popular and one of the most played games here. Streisand Effect at it's finest.
Aww I really wanted to play this game, I fell in love with the adverts for it, I don't know why I didn't, I played quake from when I got my first PC aged 11, same with the sims as well, wow that was a lot of commas,
I remember the Carmageddon prohibition in my country, Brazil. but it happened about 6 or 7 years after the game was released. everybody had played by then. other games were banned gta1, postal and counter strike
My only peeves were that the controls were... difficult... (unless you played with a wheel, that was great), and cars, even the monster trucks, would so easily bump into sidewalks and all sorts of stuff... Fortunately Ivan's car was a blast. The best for all around exploration, if you were feeling bored. Still the most fun car games I ever played, alongside Rollcage.
I kept waiting for/hoping he would mention the Twisted Metal series (I think there was more than one) for the PC when talking about other car-themed games that are particularly violent (it was a great game by the way too hehe). Lol - I went through and read the other comments and turns out I certainly was not the only one to have remembered TM. Great video regardless.
I loved this game as a kid. GOG still has it available to download...well worth the small $$. There is also an android port (for phones/tablets). It is a GREAT way to kill time. Another possible pre-game to carma was a game called mega-race (1993-ish?). Had cars with guns...explosions...etc.
I would love to correct you, Remember that giant police APC? You called it the enforcer, But it actually is just called the suppressor. yes yes the enforcer did appear but it was based off a yellow interceptor. In tdr2000.
When I was 11 years old I remember being out to recess one day and seeing a kid with a juice box playing on a bench. He had popped out all the seams so the box became more fluid and was pushing it about on the seat. I spotted him and said "Oh dear, jelly suspension".

That's awfully wholesome for a game that scores you for Vehicular Manslaughter and Road rage
This is truely a good friend ship
"GTA 4 is the current title.."
"Its been 82 years..."
lol same thought
“Gta 4 is the most recent game in the series” man this video is a time capsule
One of the best games ever made. That feeling when you waste someone waiting to see if you unlocked the car was always exciting. 10/10
As I recall, you needed to kill the driver without totalling the car, which was tricky. I never got the hang of it.
Damn, This is a really HIGH quality video for 2011 :)
contrary to popular belief, HD existed in 2011 :/
I meant the quality not the resolution.
By quality i mean its very well done and detailed.
it's not like it's made in the -70... Not to say it was bad even then. This is such a weird thing to say.
it's a REUPLOAD.
Anyone who thinks old is bad is nothing short of an absolute moron. I absolutely do not get this ideology. 2011 was only 6 fucking years ago anyway.
I'm from Brazil. I remember when Carmageddon was banned. Games being banned was unheard of back then.

The shear effort Stuart puts in his videos is astounding and his videos really are of the highest quality here on UA-cam.
I love the quotation marks on "sport" referred to demolition derby
The one thing I will never forget from Carmageddon:
DRUGS!!!!!
haha :D that and "I WAS IN THE WAR!"
Pinball Mode.
Negnav123 best way to use that is driving into a narrow passageway
Personally I loved the pinball barrel...

You missed Twisted Metal series and Quarantine.
Also missed ROCK N' ROLL RACING!
And friggin' Spy Hunter.
but most imprtantly , he missed jazza„s destruction game
Quarantine is a really cool game.
@ if you want a trip down nostalgia lane go check out Ross Game dungeon on a review for it.
Great stuff. I love Carmageddon and sadly it never gets the respect I think it deserves. It's such a well-made game.

I was looking for Death Rally for years ! Thanks so much for including it, you helped a lot remembering what was that game I loved to play so much.
Yes, same here! The car designs were soooo good!
destruction derby was one of my favorite games at that time. Never drove backwards more in a game.
4:43 That time bug was highly exploitable.
Kill pedestrians/earn bonus time until you surpass the 19:59 mark, and the timer will stop.
Not true, unfortunately. The timer had no digits to display time bigger than 19-59, but when you went into the map view - the entire time accumulated was displayed there. My biggest was 124 minutes or so.
Maaaaan! What a game. I bought it after having it as a demo. From that point I was hooked. Seriously a game that defined a new genre of racing!
Surprised you didn't mention Rock 'n roll racing for the SNES when you were doing old racing games. One of my favourites!
Seriously, no mention of twisted metal?
+Lord Dirt Another honourable mention is Quarantine

A game of my childhood, such a lovely game, highly detailed and extremely fun, not like most games nowadays...
I still play the original game from 1997 from time to time. A true gem :D
I was about to freak out when you said GTA IV was the recent GTA game in the series, but I realized that this video was originally released in 2011.
The fact that you wanted to freak out at all is worrying.
I have some recollection that the German version of Carmageddon went even further and changed the zombies to robots...
Correct. The Robots also were not even allowed limbs.
First half life, now this
I just wonder if anyone in germany really played the censored versions or if there were uncensored copies being passed around.
I used to love this game back in the day...
Destruction Derby, Death Rally and Interstate 76'... I love them.
I am surprised that the video missed out Deathtrack though... released in 1989 for the PC and it was a first person "racing" game with weapons (and management, so you have to be economical on your top tier weapons or you may not make enough from the race to upkeep the usage), vehicle upgrades, and a career mode...
These re uploads just make me miss retro ahoy! MAKE MORE DAMNIT

i have never have had as much fun with car games since carmageddon.
Have to love more than one 2+ minute unskipable adds in 12 min
Death Rally and Hi-Octane were a couple games I played quite a bit back in the day. Fun times :D
The game "Swiv" mentioned at the 00:53 mark was later released as "Firepower 2000" on the SNES. Great game.

The mobile version of Carmageddon is a damn good port. Wish it was brought to other platforms as well.
Just found out it was removed from the iOS store. Definitely needs to come to more platforms now.
not many things in life more satisfying than running down a pedestrian with reckless impunity.
I feeel so lucky growing up with all these classic games
Carmageddon had a special release in germany. While the UK and some other countries had Zombies bleeding green blood, the german version featured non-humanoid robots in various shapes and sizes.
Holy shit i forgot about how horribly, hilariously badass this game was!!
This video was a trip back to memory lane!
out of all the combat vehicle games, I've always found the Vigilante 8 series the most entertaining. I'd like to see them rebooted today
The number of views in this video is just around 300k. That is too small for Retro Ahoy's standard.

Super Cars and Super Cars 2 were ALWAYS staples of my brother's and I's childhood multiplayer experiences!
Seems more like a video about vehicular manslaughter games than Carmageddon
I remember buying a steering wheel peripheral for my PC in the '90s, just for Carmageddon.
Carmageddon also is 3D accelerated. There is a 3dfx Glide executable / update. It looks gorgeous then.
Very nice retrospective about the Carmageddon series. Tanks for the video! I really like the recent title Reincarnation, and its upgraded version Carmageddon Max Damage. Too bad that this game wasn't a financial success (from what I have heard).
This was the game I got addicted with before exams...and because of this I got 1 week headache
Where is Twisted Metal. That game fits perfectly here.
Car Wars was a Steve Jackson table-top road playing game in the 80's.
When i hear Carmageddon, all i can think of is "Whooooaa! *Mommy!* "
I can only think of the male character grunting and saying "son of a bitch!"
I loved Demolition Derby. Me and my brothers liked taking turns trying to cause the biggest car crashes possible and see how far everyone's cars went flying. IIRC there was a setting that made all the AI opponents gang up on you, smashing into each other in a kamikaze frenzy.
"apt reaction to a 2 ton hunk of steel traveling at high velocity" I love it
