Tunnels don't work very well in Carmageddon, that I agree with. The controls aren't... optimized for it? It could work in a high-speed purely racing game, especially if the tunnels were circular or semi-circular so that you could drive on the walls or ceilings. Wait, wasn't that Trackmania?

Maybe you're thinking of Rollcage?

I may have played entirely too much of Carmageddon II over the years. Even finished all the missions without cheating! :shepicide:

You may have. I didn't remember any of that! It's been a few years. There have been a lot of games and events and babies between then and now.

Was it possible to cheat in Carmageddon? I know that I used to cheat in FPS and RTS games, but racing games I used to play legit... except for Need for Speed 2:SE. We used to play multiplayer with the horn cheat enabled.

Sorry, just missed this. I don't remember playing that. Isn't there a remake of that in Early Access on Steam at the moment? "Grip", I think it's called. I was sorta interested, but it's been so long since I've played a straight-up racer, I didn't bother. But yeah, that game looks like what I meant. That works.

You are correct, sounds like a microphone issue at my end during the latter part of the level.

You were having problems where Speedball or I couldn't hear you. We figured it was just a transmission thing, and that your recording was alright.

I ... uh... will look into things. When I'm not still sore from my new job.

In that one case in race 29, there was a shift in microphone position between beginning and end which would likely account for the inaudibility towards the end.

To be honest, your audio seems quiet in the beginning too, though it did get even quieter. I'm not sure if perhaps it could be helped by dialing back the game audio while AJ's talking? I don't edit video so I don't really know what to suggest. :shobon:

Watched the third one! Finally. Woohoo, full upgrades!

And now it won't cost so much to repair the car either because it won't get so damaged...

The city maps are great. Long straightways to pick up speed, walls to smash people against, buildings to jump onto, and (in the other map) a stadium to go hog-wild in.

YouTube hit me with 33 first so I haven't gotten to the others yet, but now AJ_Impy is the clearest and everyone else's audio is muffled.

The tunnels on this map remind me of Boston's Big Dig. Also, I'm enjoying the tweeting of the double speed sirens. :allears:

Confirmed for 31! Audio is muffled for everyone. Lots of screaming and shouting, but no dialogue.

By the way, who played Die Anna? I checked the Carmageddon Wiki (yeah, they have those for everything nowadays, just like they used to have Geocities websites back in the day), and when I searched for the name they had, I kept getting hits for a porn star...

She was a 14-year-old drama student from the high school where Carmageddon co-creator Neil "nobby" Barnden's wife was working as a teacher.

Oh, thank goodness! I mean, nothing wrong with having a porn star in the driving seat, but there's something that adds to the feel of the game when you have a student playing a major character. Besides, she looks so adorable when she takes off the helmet.

When did Carmageddon come out again? 1997? Assuming that production was during 1996, she'd been about my age, maybe a bit younger.

Just one more week to go....

Race 34 - Ramp Rampage

A small and tight map which is just perfect for making laps!
Or something even better.

Race 35 - Blood on the Rooftops

Yes, I can complete this level through laps.
... But there is something more important here.

Race 36 - The Suppressor

IT. IS. DONE.

After all these videos the one thing that really sticks out is the sound of that bloody police siren - man that is the one thing from this game I do not miss. So glad they didn't include them in the second game...

Let's take our new car out for a spin, shall we?


Race 38 -Beaches of Blood

Put the top down, or take a little off the top?
Why not both!

Race 39 - Beef Curtains

15 Laps or 15 Cars?
There's no real choice here.

Race -1 - Electric Blue

THIS is how you win the game the third way.
By cheating!

Thank you all for watching, and to AJ Impy and Speedball for their commentary along the way.

Another job well done, berryjon.

I love that the electro car is thwarted by slopes and curbs.

The face cam is so good. The scarycam LPers could learn a lot from Die Anna!

Sweet, the ending!

With Carmageddon, it was the journey rather than the destination, quiaff?

I think I did do an all-pedestrian win, but I did it on one of the beach maps, which have a fewer number of pedestrians, and I made use of the pedestrian respawn powerup. That way, you don't need to hunt down the last pedestrian, you can just retrace your steps and kill the ones you killed before.

I think that once I got the tier 6 (or maybe even at tier 5), I made it a policy to hunt down and kill every cop car I could find before trying to end the race. Hell, I wanted revenge.
