'A Trip Down Memory Lane'
It looked so good, so different and so fun... I didn't even know how many hours I would spent driving!!
But the real two moments I love were the one in front of the church waiting to all people to come out and be a real big multiplier saying "Come to me with your tires ready, honey!", and the second one... oh the second one, the almighty football stadium... oh my!! drift, drift, "Bonus for artistic impression" ,drift, drift, splash, splash, "Nice shot, sir!"... oh these were goooooood times :P
I can wait to put my hands again on the wheel and see what Reincarnation will offer...
'A Trip Down Memory Lane'

- Splattering a civilian with just the spikes on the Eagle3's backside... He'd stand in place for a few second and then disintegrate into a bloody mess. Watching the exact frame it happens in the Replay was awesome
- Pushing a boulder off a cliff for shits and giggles, and then after a few seconds you get BONUS FOR ARTISTIC IMPRESSION for that poor construction worker who was in the boulder's way.
- Getting the granite powerup, ramming the train offcourse and having it pulp a crowd of running pedestrians and assorted wildlife
Back then, I didn't even realize you can do that sort of stuff in a game. Blew my mind!
'A Trip Down Memory Lane'
One of my favorite gaming moments was when I unlocked that beast of a car (rhino I think it was, whatever the heavy police machine of death was), that gave me my first taste of god like prowess in games, come at me little cars you wont survive!

Enough Said, Finish that game and send me Goodies.
'A Trip Down Memory Lane'
My best moment was when i tried to kill every civilian (on the first race) it took me almost 2 hours, then my computer froze.
Please, can you make this game so funny and cool that we can play 2 hours with a songle race, triying to find every secret of the map w/o being bored :).
I loved the "combo" system and the kill tricks, it was juste awesome to find the most powerfull combo ! (Opponent repulsor -> Vlad -> Cow -> Wall -> Ground -> TNT -> Firework !)
I can't wait to see this Reincarnation !

This truly was the funniest thing ever.
EDIT: Got something else to add here ;)
My first encounter with the Carmageddon series was in 1998, my father had bought this new game and was playing it, I thought it was cool so he let me have a go, I remember this like it was yesterday; I was playing on 'Eye of The Beaver' in Beaver City and I think I was using the Eagle 3, I remember my car being somewhere around the bank area of the map and Herrkooled came slamming into me, I managed to push him into the drink and Jenny Taylia came up from behind and pushed me in after him, I immediatly recovered and Jenny was racing off towards the main city area, I chased after her and shouted something out loud along the lines of "Come here Jenny Taylia, I'm gonna waste you." at which point my mother turned to my father and said "What did he just say!?", she turned to me and asked the same question so I had to explain to her that it was the name of a character in the game and that was what I was referring to and not the female anatomy.

Me and my brother never heard of it and start playing it right away.
We did a lot of race but we almost never won..
The next our dad said: You should try and smash the car and run over the people.
Oh men, from that moment we were addicted!
'A Trip Down Memory Lane'
Before there was Carmageddon, there were other racegames. Some good, some very good and others were crap.
But one thing always kept coming back: the frustration when i failed at getting to the next level or race. Many times i was thinking, before i rammed my keyboard in anger: "What a pleasure it would be if i could get my hands (read 'tires') on those puny, fucking spectators alongside the racetrack!"
It would have saved me a few keyboards, right?
And then there was Carmageddon. It was the ideal racegame. I would launch into a race and lose. But, there would always be enough pedestrians to split up and mutilate.
I'm playing a lot of Grid, when i'm into racing. Fantastic game, really, but the initial frustration remains. Finishing last or not obtaining a certain goal gives me an irresistible urge to maim and lobotomize innocent bystanders (they're laughing at me, i know it!).
So, come on guys and girls at Stainless. Get it right again, before i wind up in an institution for the 'criminally insane' (you should include this Slayer-song if you're planning a soundtrack, just sayin').
I will ram my keyboard up your arses if you fail at reincarnating the original Carmageddon.
I sincerely thank you.

Gimme goodies and I will do a "HANG ON TO YER HELMET" tattoo.
'A Trip Down Memory Lane'
I can't forget when I wasted the first police car in Carma, I was so proud and happy =D
Another wery good moment of my life is when one of my cousin told me : "I have Carma 2 !", I can't describe how I felt ! It was so cool to dismember 3D pedestrians, and when a opponent is just in front of a corner, and I arrive full speed right on him, using the Nitro to get more speed and see him cut into 2 parts, it's so good =D
I really want to feel all this fun again in the next one ! I'll be the first to buy Carma R !
PS : I'm french so if I made some english mistakes, sorry.

With Camargeddon being the type of game that it was, you can imagine my joy at getting it, ok so that sounds a bit sick and twisted but hey the game is freakin awesome. I remember back then just sitting for hours on end, on my brand new PC just mowing down hoards of pedestrians. I would always try and initially win by killing all pedestrians, then if that wasn't working to well plan wreckage would come into effect. I would just destroy the other cars, and if that wasn't going down to well then plan z was to just get to the finish line in one piece :D
Carmageddon 2 just completely blow my mind at the time, with the upgraded graphics and new tracks, i'm stoked at the fact you guys are bringing this franchise back and

But, my all time favourites have to come from the original game, both in arranging duels with my friends across a small home network, which often ended with a standoff, one of us getting the concrete car, colliding with the other, who limped off, got repaired, grabbed the concrete car and fought back.
Finally, as an extension to the duels in the original game, my friends and I started using a very long street map that we found, most likely as an addon for TDR2000, we would spend many hours, seeing how much carnage we could cause in head on collisions, with each of us not knowing which vehicle the other had selected. Apparantly I wasn't playing fair by using a huge dump truck, when they were trying for speed..
'A Trip Down Memory Lane'
also pinball mode =/= tight corridors, found that out the hard way
'A Trip Down Memory Lane'
It was in a level that had you going 1-on-1 against a huge yellow truck, and you had to waste that monstrosity while a countdown clock was ticking.
I remember trying all sorts of approaches. Smashing it with bombs, using the Opponent Repulsificator to damage it, running at it with high speed and hitting it from behind...but after several attempts it just kept wasting me. So out of frustration I decided to simply CHARGE at the damn thing right after the level started, just to see what happens.
3-2-1-GO...and I just race towards the truck at max speed. I notice some power-ups sitting next to the street. "Might as well get them, maybe they'll increase my speed or something. In a moment of extreme luck, one of the power-ups happened to be "Acme damage magnifier". I keep racing towards the truck, which is also racing towards me, we get really close, the street went down-hill at a point so my car jumps a bit in the air...and smashes right into the truck's upper half, WASTING it immediately.
Words can't describe the satisfaction I felt after that. I bought the truck at the end of the level, another trophy for the Junkyard of Glory.
This game rocks, god-dammit :P

Also, every time I'm about to do something ridiculous while I'm driving, I say "Hold on to your helmet". It's just ingrained in me now.

Yet, I chose to remember my brother with this game. I was only 8 years old and my brother bought it! How I remember telling eachother what happened in carmageddon. :)
A year later I got my own computer. How much fun it was playing with a keyboard, multiply it by 841654894 and then you have the fun playing it with a steering wheel. So I nagged and nagged without succes. Until my brother gave me his steering wheel! Ooh yes, the destruction went to a whole new level.
And I already stayed up late to play carmageddon. Sneak in bed when my parents went to bed, wait a while and then getting out for some more destruction. :D
Also having friends over to play this game together with GTA 1... boy oh boy, great memories!
'A Trip Down Memory Lane'
I still have the soundtrack embedded in my head.
'A Trip Down Memory Lane'
Then there were the times where I discovered cheats, when I started modding (amateurishly), when I finally got the fly cheat to work...
The Carmageddon series have got me so fascinated that I translated most of the games into Portuguese. I also made around half of the 500+ pages on Carmageddon Wikia. During all that time, I learned a lot of epic stuff about the series. The rough road through the censorship lane, the cars and powerups and such you had planned, the way you guys smacked Tony with a pool cue to simulate the crashes... In retrospect, given the physics, the fun, the diversity, the powerups, the cars, the races, the hard work putting into developing the games, the community, and everything... I gotta say. I shouldn't have played Carmageddon as an underaged kid. But wow. It was a well spent childhood.
My best moment in the games? The parts where I was actually playing them.

I'd managed to steal the police APC, and had enough cash to upgrade everything to the max, making the vehicle a concrete block moving at rocket speeds :D
Anyway, I was driving along in one of the city maps, and driving up a hill, which ended quite abruptly (as in, it went up at an angle, then flat again... so it was really just a ramp!). The car, going at ridiculous speeds, flew off the edge of the ramp, flew for a good 10 seconds, over the train-rail in the sky.
THEN, it landed, specifically it landed on a lamp post, sending it flying into the air, and causing the car to skid, which hit about 10 pedestrians, causing a combo.
THEN, as I started to drive off (heading towards the next group of pedestrians a few yards away), which was a good 10 to 20 seconds after I'd landed... out of nowhere, the lamp post fell out of the sky, landing in the group of pedestrians, killing most, giving me another combo :D
I've never forgotten that moment, and wished I had something like fraps back in the day to capture that.
'A Trip Down Memory Lane'
well the game is so awesome, the music, the fun, you can do what you want, sometimes my car went flying because of tnt for almost a minute, then tnt + pinball = killing machine, i killed some enemies by this way
then pedestrians were so funny, the power ups were insane crazy funny, slowmo, suicidal, fat, lol, amazing really, then cows, dogs, so lol
wow amazing games, i am going to install them again to have lots of fun right now

"I've had the luck to find this game just a few hours before its retire from stores!", said a dear friend of mine.
I saw all those green pixels fly all around in that 15" display. And already I knew I coulndn't play with it, having only an IBM/PS1 bought in 1992, without any CD-ROM drive...
...2000...
PlayStation version. Wow. I must have it, now. Awww, how the hell does it cost?!!? But... What I'm seeing there? An used copy only a week after its entry...!? Well, let's go.
I just LIVE in it. Pixels as big as stones, who cares? That athmosphere so sick, those road signs sprayed of fresh blood... My Eagle who merrily distributes free death on every unfortunate soul who walk (crazy people!) on the road...
...2001...
The digital carnage continues on my PC, finally. C1 & C2, what a shock for my eyes -and my back, especially-. My ears was been kidnapped by Fear Factory: nothing else runned in my car radio for months and months. I also started to print some nice adhesive for my car (the real one :P). I've stolen one of that office bar with letters, used to show employers' names... and I've put it in my car, with my nickname... always this one, obviously. :)
...2004...
TDR2000 comes with all its fury, letting me enjoy intensily its graphic, its soundtrack ("HANDS UP! HANDS UP! HANDS UP! WHO WANTS TO DIIIIEEEEE!!"), its 2X, 3X, 4X combos, all. And I was waiting for a new game, expected in 2005...
...2011...
Damn! Where is my spiked bumper? It should be somewhere in my garage, yet...

- The super disturbing but hilarious chick car thing (the glass one where all car sounds were changed into moans)
- Breaking the monstertruck lambo (the yellow one with drill onfront) in two when i skidded out of a corner
- In tdr2000, in that stunt park, i blazed over a ramp to show a friend the cool view over the park, only to meet anna midair and die in a flaming ball of fire, while she carried on to overrun pedestrians.
- The map where there was the train rails (from tunnel to tunnel, short straight piece of rails) to cross to get to a mountain, i always loved driving up the mountain and pushing off sheep for great bonuses
- Opening the console of tdr2000 literally a few hours after seeing wargames on tv

So i had to keep starting the demo to continue playing, restarting the race causing some mass destruction. Rinse repeat. I still laugh, cause i remember my dad coming in my room after a few hours telling me to get to bed since we were flying early in the morning and all i was interested in was playing this demo.
And its funny how i still rememeber all the sounds of screaching metal and sounds the game had. Good times. So began my love my caramagedon, many an hour wasted playing both 1 and 2. Yet to this day, i don't think i ever completed a race by actually racing. Much more fun destroying everything in your path.

Carmageddon played a pretty significant role in my growing up. Mainly the introduction to fear factory. And the fact that when I'm driving down the road my friends see a pedestrian they yell "10 Points", I still say "300 Credits" or "+2 Seconds!", I still have to remember that orange barrels on the side of the road to not contain opponent repuslificators or solid granite car. I have long wanted to convert my vehicles into the magnificent Mad Max style delusion, but not for show, never for show.
There is almost not a day that goes by that I do not miss this franchise.
Welcome back Stainless
I'll see your ass on the starting line..
'A Trip Down Memory Lane'
And we did press some buttons and something did happen.
But while every computer had decent and mature games like Putt Putt, only one had a game called Carmageddon. It wasn't isntalled on mine. It was installed on the computer next to me. Where my best friend sat.
I asked Uncle Peter:
"Is it possible to copy it to my computer as well?"
"Dunnu. I dunt have a cable or sumthun."
So I asked my friend:
"Can I play it?"
"Of course not", he said. And he played like there wasn't anything else in the world
So I watched him play. And my anger was growing. I murdered him in my imagination every bloody way possible. But I didn't say anything.
And then one day my mother bought me a computer. And through some contacts I got my copy of Carmageddon.
One day, my friend came over. And I said:
"I have Carmageddon. But you will not play it. You just fuckin' watch."
And then, in that moment of revenge I realized, that this is stupid. One hour later we were playing Carmageddon, taking turns as we progressed and splattered guts all over the damn city, we destroyed cars, ourselves, laughed like morons.
And it wasn't over when we turned off the computer. When we finished, we found some old toy cars. We just beat them to each other and screamed like maniacs.
And nobody even cared that this so called Carmageddon wasn't supposed to be played by children.
Yet here I am. Got my driving license. I'm in a relationship. And still. When I saw the announcment for Carmageddon, I almost screamed like a ten year old driving a spikey-bladey monster of machine and killing everyone in sight. Almost.
As the years passed, I had drawn literally every Car in my notebooks, and since 2000 I was always hoping for a new Carmageddon game, and here it is. Hopefully not tainted by the disgusting trends of the modern game industry and delivering only what I expect: dismemberfest.
So what happened to Uncle Peter? Dunno. What happened to my friend? I see hime very rarely. But still, we make references that no one can understand. We pass by an earthmover and we just say: "Gotcha!"
/sorry if my english is not perfect, but this was a good practice :)/
'A Trip Down Memory Lane'
My moment (or moments) have to be in C2 and the insane damage modelling, can't believe how many times I was chasing down the last opponent only to flatten the Eagle. Still my best moment was when I was in the deserty area gunning down all of the nubs in screwie lewie. I ended up bending 3 of my opponents in half but still being able to drive. I was astounded as I stood back and watched them chase after me, luckily I still have a screenshot of it Totally awesome. Killing them after was such a laugh, I had to scramble around for the Opponent repulsificator and then play a makeshift game of footy with the goal being the front of the mountain tunnel.
Needless to say this didn't go very well but it did the job.

I was in joy seeing all these footballers running from my car, seeing them splatter on my windshield with all the spectators watching the horror.
Good times.

I play this game all night... inimitable games!
