I just simply never got around to playing them. Of course, I’d heard about the game and its sequels over the years since its release. I was too young to really know about, or be into Carmageddon, and still haven’t played it to this day. In the end, though, sales won out, as Stainless Games’ controversial effort nabbed them two million of them.īack then, my focus was on the Nintendo 64 and the few hours that I got to spend with my friend’s PlayStation. Needless to say, there were those who supported Carmageddon for its cartoony take on violence, and those who were against it - including countries like Germany and the UK, where the game was banned or censored. Hell, bonuses (in the form of time increases) were awarded for killing innocent civilians, or by maiming cows who wandered into the roadway. Why? Well, its main bullet point was violence that being the ability to run over and kill pedestrians in gory ways while racing other combatants.

Granted, those prominent and never-to-be-forgotten titles were joined by quite a few others of note, including Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, Star Fox 64, the original Grand Theft Auto and Carmageddon.Ĭarmageddon, itself, is one of those games that has always carried with it a dubious reputation. In fact, 1997 will forever be known for being the release year for some of the most timeless games out there, including Final Fantasy VII, Goldeneye 007 and Mario Kart 64.

The year was 1997, and gaming was enjoying one of its best calendars yet. Nintendo’s 64 and Sony’s PlayStation were duking it out for console supremacy, while PC gamers enjoyed treats of their own.
