You should post about the new Carmageddon: Reincarnation which is in development with a tentative 2012 release date.

The original game pretty much created its own genre.

Carmageddon was awesome indeed. I might do an article about it some time in the future.

Yeah looking forward to it. It's been like a 14 year long break between drinks pretty unbelievable they're doing another one.

I'm quietly hoping it's a huge success so that other developers follow suit and remake tons of older games.

A similar type of game was Interstate '76 did you also play that game?

What do you mean "might" where is the passion for your site, it would be a disservice to your audience not to post about it! jokes jokes

Well, honestly I'm more into 80's and early 90's games. Carmageddon was released in the late 90's and I don't really think it's retro enough.

I'm really more of a C64, Amiga, NES, SNES, Genesis and arcade guy.

 

[dcristo]

LOL showing your age! I only started getting into gaming in the late 90's.

Anything before than would have had primitive graphics anyway

Seriously though, any game that basically created a genre deserves discussion on a retro gaming website.

It's like talking about FPS's and forgetting to talk about Doom, Quake, or Duke Nukem 3D.

Well, yeah, I'll consider it.

Haha, yeah you might be younger than me then. I got my first Commodore 64 when I was six, which was back in 1988. The C64 still rocks and I still use it occasionally.

 

[dcristo]

Well, yeah, I'll consider it.

I sense no enthusiasm in these words.

It's your loss not mine.

LOL

Lol .. Seriously.. Carmageddon .. *cough* lame *cough* .. Instead give me a nice 8bit horizontal shooter with parallax scrolling. <3 haha ..!

Ohhh boy. Now the truth comes out. I think you should stick to not updating your site.

It's possible you will brainwash a new generation and they will never learn about good games from yesteryear.

So you liked platform games... I guess they weren't all bad.

In 10 years from now I might do a Carmageddon article, as it will be retro by then.

Anyways, platformers are awesome. You should really go download a C64 and an Amiga emulator (WinUAE) if you have never checked out those two particular home computers. When the Commodore Amiga 500 came out in 1987 it was years ahead of all other console/computers at the time.

I owned a C64 one of my favorite games on it was Paperboy.

Paperboy is cool, but I prefer the arcade version. My favorite on the C64 are the "Last Ninja" series. Dang.. All this talk made me want to fire up a C64 emulator right now.

No, never got around to it unfortunately.

Any ROTT players here? I played this for hours on end

They released the source a while back also: ftp://ftp.3drealms.com/source/rottsource.zip

After reading this thread earlier, went looking for carmageddon in my backups... Found it! Making a note to dig around the office for a 3dfx card

Weird. I did hear about this game, but for whatever reason did not actually play it.

I think all my time was consumed by other shooters at the time like Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Heretic, Hexen et etc.

Rise of the Triad was awesome indeed. Played it a lot.

BTW, if you want to play the copy of Carmageddon you found all you need is DOSBox.

Your PM box is full. I've also sent you a couple of e-mails. Thanks.

Yes I figured this out today through GOG.com which is a digital distribution website dedicated to old games (also discovered this website today).

Been a good day

Most of the games at GoG are available freely on different abandonware sites. The only difference is you need to run most of them in a DOS emulator (DOSBox as mentioned above). GoG is a very convenient way though, for those not tech-savvy, to play some of the games from the past who aren't compatible with newer OSes.
