Leftover Turkey



Yes Carmafans, we’re excited to announce yet another NEW
post-Thanksgiving celebratory retail opportunity day… Brown Thursday!


So, you know how you can currently get a FREE copy of the Carmageddon Max Pack and Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse Now if you already own or purchase Carmageddon: Reincarnation on Steam Early Access. Yeah! What a great bundle deal!

Well, as of today, Brown Thursday, that bundle has goddamn GROWN!

You know that slightly whiffy leftover turkey lurking at the back of the fridge that you’d normally avoid, but might end up eating, usually by accident, usually when drunk? Well, that’s kind of what we have for you here… Although you might recall it by its other name: Carmageddon TDR 2000! Yes, this old bird has been given a quick sluice-out and pronounced almost fit for human consumption… Because, in a move that some are calling “Their Daftest Hour”, we heroically managed to hold down our leftover turkey lunch for long enough to get Carmageddon TDR 2000 working and on Steam! So, altogether now… woo!

Now, being completely honest here, it’s well known that 1) Stainless didn’t develop TDR 2000 and 2) just about everyone we know thinks that it’s a bit POO. BUT, there’s no accounting for taste, and some people have actually asked us to release it. And so, just for those poor souls (plus anyone else who enjoys getting a “full package”) we’re more than happy to plop it into your Carma collection. And for the rest of us, well…. Maybe give it a spin every now and then to remind everyone what a GREAT JOB we did on Carmageddon 1 and 2!

So, you wonderful Carma peoples, if you already own Carmageddon: Reincarnation, you’ll find that Carmageddon TDR 2000 has also automatically added to your Steam games list. And for those of you who don’t own Carmageddon: Reincarnation, what the hell are you waiting for? Get it on Steam NOW, and get the FULL CARMAGEDDON COLLECTION at the same time, with our compliments… because we LOVES YA!!*

*Yes, even you fans who think TDR is the best in the series. We still loves ya, even though you’re WRONG. And MAD!

http://store.steampowered.com/app/331650/

Health Warning! Please note: Just like that whiffy old turkey, don’t blame us if TDR 2000 consumption is rapidly followed by uncontrollable projectile vomiting and violent diarrhoea!

About This Game


The world's first high-speed internal organ liberation simulator is back in full 3D! The slaughter is bloodier, the body parts fly further, and the destruction is heavier. Crash and burn through the 3D rendered crowds with the pedal to the metal. Destroy your opponents every which way possible, the more creative the destruction, the better the rewards. No rules, no compromise, NO MERCY!

Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse Now is the sequel to the sensational "Game of the Year" smash and trash blockbuster from 1997. The creators of the original Carmageddon packed the follow-up with more action, fun, and mayhem! Play chicken with an airplane! Fry pedestrians with the Electro Bastard Ray! All of the fun and none of the responsibility of motorized murder and mayhem in one huge package. What are you waiting for? Gear up and ride out!


"Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines! Members of the public, you have ONE minute to reach minimum safe distance!"

  • Crazy range of vehicles and drivers, each with their own personality and driving style.
  • 30 grueling tracks
  • 10 manic mission levels
  • 10 stunning new environments
  • All-new damage model - cars smash apart, and can even split in two!
  • All-new full 3D modelled pedestrians!
  • A range of wildlife to mow down - from poor penguins to the mighty moose!
  • 90 Power Ups (and Power Downs) including user-triggerable ones
  • Waste trains, planes, and slaughtermobiles
  • Reckless driving gains points - annihilate anything and everything in your path
  • Great open world track design allowing complete freedom to explore.
  • Hidden bonus areas to find.
  • Ludicrously satisfying, arcade-style gameplay.
  • Heavy metal soundtrack from Iron Maiden and Sentience will accompany you on this hellish ride.


    The aim is for the player to work their way up the ranking system, from 99th place to first. The player vehicle is pitted against a wide range of computer controlled competitors, in locations such as cities, desert, airport, funfair and even an aircraft carrier. Levels can be beaten in one of three ways:

    • Completing all the laps of the race course, as one would a normal racing game.
    • "Wasting" (wrecking) all the opponents vehicles.
    • Killing all the pedestrians in the area.

    Each level has a time limit, but more time may be gained by passing through checkpoints, collecting PowerUps, damaging/destroying the competitors' cars, and by running over pedestrians (with bonuses awarded for style).

    These actions also reward the player with Credits, which can be used to make instant repairs or recover the car (after falling down a chasm, for example). They can also be used to upgrade Armour, Power and Offense stats in the Parts Shop between races. This is also the time to switch which car to drive if others have been obtained.
    As well as opponents partaking in the 'race', some levels also contain a number of Cop Cars, which will activate their sirens and hound the player when provoked. They can be attacked and destroyed, but do not count as opponents. A single "Super Squad Car" exists in one level, and it can be claimed if destroyed.

    An Action Replay with multiple camera viewpoints is available at any point during a race.


    Originally released for the PC in November 1998, Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse Now was an instant hit and the Carmageddon series sold over 2 million copies worldwide. Here’s what a sample of the gaming press thought at the time:

    “There are many clever vehicles, the levels are fun, and the physics engine is simply amazing...” - Christopher Allen Allgame.com "Enjoyment" 4.5 stars

    “If you love the smell of gasoline in the morning, prepare to take a huge whiff of victory. This is random violence and destruction at its most beastly.” - Joe Ottoson Allgame.com "Enjoyment" 4.5 stars

    “Arms go flying, heads pop off and roll into walls, and legs fall off and squirt blood on the ground. This game is not for the peace-loving hippie types.” - Dr.Moo GameRevolution.com B+

    “The physics model is so open-ended, and there are so many silly power-ups, Carmageddon II ends up being entertaining for a long time.” - Greg Kasavin Gamespot 8.3 av. User Score

    “Carma II does for Carmageddon what Doom did for Wolfenstein 3D: takes the concept and fine-tunes it, producing a game that is a ghoulish dream come true for fans of the original... and a kick in the cock for the critics.” -PC Zone 9.5



    Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse Now is the second of a series of graphically violent driving-oriented video games. It was conceived and developed by Stainless Games, published by SCi and released November 30, 1998 on PC & Mac.
    The Carmageddon series of games was, and remain, a poster child for video game controversy. The controversy surrounded the game's central premise; that of earning reward for running down innocent pedestrians.
    The game was notable for its realistic and ground-breaking physics, and for its in-game action replay features. It was also one of the earliest examples of a sandbox 3D driving game, and may have influenced other later games including the Driver and Grand Theft Auto series.

    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 around one hundred 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.

I played this game SO much as a kid... and after years of trying to get the patches to work on my OS, finally it comes to steam. I can't think of any other game that never, ever gets boring. Maybe I'm just a sociopath. Racing, killing, searching maps. Its just perftect. The carnival level is great for really cool stunts, and the airport is good for pedestrian mayhem. So much fun

i played the old non-steam version and loved it, now its on steam and i still love it

the best "racing" game ever made.
finish the race, kill your opponents, or kill hundreds of persons and animals to beat the game.
you got money and time for powerups, crashes, kills, and stunts
its your decision how you will win the round.

many of different cars all driveable, all with a freaky desing.
sports cars
buggys
trucks
monster trucks
gigant monstertrucks
work vehicles
AND YOU CAN DRIVE A DAMN PLANE!!!

So, you want a racing game with damage mechanics! Good.

But... you ALSO want to be able to win by wrecking everyone else. Great!

Or... what if you want to just mow down every last pedestrian on the map?
On an aircraft carrier?

Sure, the graphics are a bit dated, the music is repetitive (even if it's Iron Maiden it does get old), and the required missions are either too easy or WAY too difficult... but on the bright side, you get to kill clowns!

Improved version, with added glide wrapper, meaning you can play games designed for 3dfx Glide API without the need of having a 3dfx graphics card. The 90s :)

If you go to your Steam Library and look for "Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse Now" then right click on it you will only find "Play Game..." and "View Player Manual" There is no option to configure the glide wrapper aka "nGlide" You have to do it manually go to your SteamApps/Common folders and inside "Carmageddon2" you fill find the "nglide_config.exe" so you can configure correctly the wrapper.

Also when the game was released (Late 90s) it came with ipx support so for this release (Prolly the GOG version have it too) they added an ipx wrapper, that wraps IPX packets into UDP, so modern OS can run this legacy games with multiplayer support.

About the music, The amazing soundtrack is still here, this time is compressed using Vorbis (Lossy compression) The original release of Carma2 came in a CD, it was an Enhanced CD (Yellow Book CD-ROM + Red Book CD-DA) where the 1st track was the Data (The video Game) and the rest of tracks were the music, meaning your were allowed to put your Game CD in your CD Player and listen to the music, of course if you played the 1st track the one that contains the game data you will only hear random noise. While writing this review I was listening to the songs and found out that track Number 8 "The Trooper" by Iron Maiden at the 3:04 there is an error in the song prolly the CD was damaged/scrached, and you guys ripped it anyway, Lazy Stainless :P

Excelent Game, lots of fun.

Please add Carmageddon TDR 2000 :) let's get this complete.

I'm one of the few people who liked Carmageddon 2 better than the original. The racing was a lot more exciting this time around and the use of 3D graphics, while primative, was a big asset. On the other hand, some of the challenges / missions were cruel in their difficulty.

Got this game free from buying Reincarnation. This game truly needs full controller support for true maximised gameplay as using a keyboard could prove extremely hard than you people think. Soundtrack is quite awesome due to rock music (my favorite kind!), but it crashes once you quit out of the game for some unknown reason.

Finally the game is available on Steam...and it runs really smoothly on my gaming tablet (MS surface pro 2). An Excellent purchase (currently free for me with Carmageddon Reincarnation). For a game that I consider very old now the classic formula that's offered here is still enjoyable to play today, missions and all. Marvellous!
