Carmageddon 2 was my favorite entry... probably spent a hundred hours playing that one back in the day.
+Jeremy Madsen Same
Same. I remember I was extremely impressed with damage model. And it was one of not many games that ran OK on my crap PC back then. So I got 200-300 hours out of it.
Me too, i was 6 years when i played this in 1998.
the android version is good as well
It's in Google play for like 5 bucks now
Man.. Carmageddon II
I can't remember how many hours i've been playing this during the early 2000's
I remember grinding before one of the missions, so I could buy the giant dump truck from that mission. It wouldn't go trough checkpoints but if you were in front of the starting field at the beginning of a race and vent into reverse then you could wreck like half of the competitors right there. It was easy mode.
Same! I enjoy the semi truck too. It's easier to drive but nearly as tough!
Jeez that truck was enormous cant remember the name but other cars would crash into you and they will be wasted lol
Awesome, hope you continue to enjoy! More videos every week :)
My god, when you said "I'm much more offensive now
" you sounded exactly like Duke Nukem
7:31 Poland? No, in here, you can get as much violence, pain and suffering in game as you want.
But some censored versions end up here nontheless, mostly German imports or whatever. Not so much nowadays but back in the day it was a pain in the ass. Half-Life with robots instead of marines springs to mind immediately.
Maybe he meant Germany. I heard they have some ridiculously pathetic censorship laws. Something like blood has to be green and the people you run over in Carmageddon have to be referred to as "zombies". They even banned Cannibal Corpse from playing songs off their 3 or 4 first albums. I heard that at least. If true it's embarrassing.
@@Gurra88 it's true and it's embarassing too. not sure if the CC thing is still in effect but it definitely existed
Im' from Poland and I remember playing both Carma and Carma2 uncensored.
Carma 2 is still one of my favorites. Maybe it's nostalgia but damn it it's so fun and the vehicle damage is second only to beamng
Oh..so many hours, days, months, years playing this great game (:
Iron Maiden in the background, nice touch.
+Owen Fitzgerald It's the actual game soundtrack.
Fabrice Bacquart Ah excellent. It's years since I've played that game so I forget it.
Heh, when I first played a downloaded copy this game I thought "Hey somebody written Iron Maiden tracks on the soundtrack?" They were the original soundtracks although.
I remember borrowing the disc and burning my own version of the game, then playing it for hundreds of hours over the years. I grew up in 90s Poland, spoke 0 english, I didn't even know those were zombies till later when soneome told me lol. I experienced that game purely by trial and error at around 10yrs of age. I think it took me over a year before I actually tried to beat the game instead of just driving around wrecking stuff! Anyways, great game, definetly one of the best of the time, I loved it and I had no idea if other ppl played this or not, it was just a great game!
9:10
That...was amazingly epic. So much bad-assery.
I played through this game a MILLION times. It's awesome! Loves the Iron Maiden soundtrack!
The "wheelspin" key lets you turn around quicker as well as false start the race (with minor credit penalty). Feels quite rewarding learning to use all the controls, like hitting pedestrians with your doors or spinning the car on the spot to get into position to ram your opponent.
This and Midtown Madness and NFS Hot Pursuit were my favourite driving games on PC in the late 90's. They were all such brilliant fun.
Carmageddon:Reincarnation =D not ressurection hah, dont kill me! Carmageddon 2 is on steam now! join us on www.carmageddon.com/ man it is now hub of carma fans!
I can't describe how lucky you got with Jenny Talia. In 4/5 of the early game races she's always the last enemy I fight, because her car is so incredibly prone to get damaged in a way that it actually just turns into a mobile ramp and you'll just jump off when you crash into it.
I'm still impressed that not only can you split your car in half in this game, but if the car is still drivable the physics properly take the new weight distribution into account. Completely unnecessary and a pain to program, useless during gameplay as well, and yet they still put it in because they could. I mean yeah, it's cool as heck, but that sort of dedication is something you don't see in... any racing game. Even Wreckfest doesn't have cars that can split in half, let alone be drivable in such a state.
I played this game as a tiny child. I don't think I ever seriously did any of the races or anything, I just had so much fun exploring and upgrading my car, testing powers, smashing other cars, etc.
There were so many cool little things scattered and hidden everywhere as was the standard back then.
Indeed, forgot about that. Though I was referring to her not being one of the selectable drivers at the start like in the first game.
Played this so much back in the day. Had a ton of mods for it too which made it extra fun
This was an awesome game, I still like to play it everynow and then. The soundtrack (Iron Maiden!!!), gameplay, everything polished quite nicely since the first one.
Me and my friend had the demo of Carma 1 from a pc gamer cover. You could play for i think 2 minutes only and only 1 level but we spent all summer holiday taking turns until i could later afford to buy it. Amazing game, prob one of my fav's.
Unfair Funfair was the best - just near the start was a lane that ended with powerups for Pinball and Bouncy-Bouncy. Plus some TNT. Hit them at top speed and you'd quickly be gyroscoping a mile above the track, and if you didn't fall fast enough the invulnerability ran out just before you hit the ground. Hit them in the wrong order and you'd die hilariously. So really, no way to lose.
I will forever cherish this game... I pretty much grew up with it. I remember my dad telling me I'd be sitting there watching him play it when I was as little as 3, when I could barely even talk. First got to play the game myself when I was 6 or 7. I remember getting stuck on the Group 3 mission where you had to kill those mental asylum escapees, so since I could never pass that mission I just modded the crap out of the game with additional cars from the Internet to keep myself entertained.
10:45 The Room reference got me crying😂😂😂
Ahh .... the memories ! I played this game everyday back when i was 6 ! Best racing game ever !
Indeed, forgot about that. Though I was referring to her not being one of the chooseable drivers at the start like in the first game.
LGR i love you even more for loving this game
Thumbs up for Hi Mark and Bye bye doggie :) I still prefer Carmegeddon 1, though.
I still have the CD and Case for this game. I first played it when i was younger as a Demo, but man now it's always great to play
You totally forgot to say that carma2 has the most improbable and heavy rooster of cars available, including a WWII plane, a combine, a gas turbine powered bus, and the most game-killing car of it all : Pitbull's dump truck, 50 tons gigantic machine that is as wide as the road and too tall to go through checkpoints...
Carma1 always had been about stealing the heaviest car (Don Dumpster's earthmover) to have a chance to beat and steal the cop's 6 wheeled armored tank, but cars were still pretty balanced. You can race (I mean harvest peds) pretty peacefully with light but fast cars, mid-weight ones had a chance against heavy ones, but carma2 was completely unbalanced, there were just too many big vehicles. If you took time to farm a lot of money to buy the big dump truck which appeared only in one mission, the game was set forever, and it was a bit unsatisfying. Thrashing that formidable opponent was also a joke, making him crashing against a corner of a building was an instant kill without even touching him...
Carmageddon 4 is way more balanced in the spirit of the very first one, even the semi truck is not that tough because of it's snails speed. Beating the cop's tank is again a noteworthy, tiresome and rewarding combat and lightweight cars, having active offensive weapons like bladed wheels, has a chance to rip appart medium weight opponents.
Unlike normal vehicles in C1, if the Suppressor got wasted in any way, you were automatically rewarded it, even if it died by itself. So the best way is to let it chase you to the top of the building and either get it stuck in the monorail near it (and ram it over and over), or just drop it down the building over and over (I think it needed something like 6 or 7 drops, it's been a while). Awesome vehicle, along with Pitbull's Tow Truck.
Even though these games aren’t my thing I love watching you play these
Carmageddon 2 is my fav game of the series (i also like the 1st game). Cant get TDR 2000 to work now.
I vaguely remember that one of the "bosses" is a HUUUUGE sort of construction truck that you can buy for an obsene amount of money but that is just freakishly invincible, I had so much childish fun playing with it :P
I just finished playing I Scream in the sun in the original Carmageddon and came back to this in my sub box. Awesome!
Kyuss! Especially on the desert maps!
I enjoy watching this while i play carma 2 lol. Probably watched this about 100 times
LOL was that a "The Room" reference? Bonus points!
I tested this out whilst on college work experience with the QA team at SCi in Southampton!....Amazing.
I remember playing this game like an early 3D GTA title. Just driving around, killing people and crashing into other drivers. I had no idea what this game was about and how you win.
When this game came out I worked at the local computer store. Had a lady come in and wanted a new racing game for her son, so I told her to get Carmageddon since the box did not have any age rating she had no idea. Fast forward a few day's later she came in to return the game and I got a talking to by my supervisor.
I'm 38 thanks for this so many fond memories of this game definitely better than the original imo
finally playing carmageddon 2! one of my favs from back in the day haha
This is the only carmageddon game imo , my childhood right there
Another great review! :) I remember Midtown Madness; played MM2 for hours, maybe do an LGR plays of that?
Hey! Been enjoying your videos for a while now.. Keep coming back for my nostalgia fix! - So first of all thanks for the good work :)
2nd. I was wondering if you could do a video on fantasy world Dizzy?
9:11 Nice flip, I never did so amazing stunt in carmageddon 1, splat pack and 2
Oh my god, you're so right. 1998 was a great year for PC games, racing games in particular. I played a ton of those great games that year.
I tend to kind of like the graphical aesthetics of the first game better than the second, but the second game seems so much bigger and better created. Like you said, the levels are a huge difference here. And after a relatively short period of time, I stop caring about the graphics aesthetics and I get completely immersed in the game (whether talking about watching this video or talking about when I actually played the game originally). That's a sign of a really good game.
I don't think I can choose one over the other. They're both great games. And the first one obviously has a soft spot in my heart, but so does the second one. I completely agree with you about everything you've said about both games, I just still can't decide which one I like better. I like them both equally.
I swear i was thinking of Midtown Madness when you JUST mentioned it xD
You should do a vid on that one, it was pretty awesome!
I'll probably get this, i got Carma 1 on my tablet the day it came out and played it for like two weeks every chance i could! SO GOOD!
Your sense of humor is sending my sides to the orbit every time. You should make some machinimas with yourself as voice actor, it would be huge hit. Anyway, did you ever thought about reviewing Warcraft: Orcs and Humans or Beyond the Dark portal on your channel? It's about time.
I love this game! Played so much both in singleplayer and multiplayer.
Oh trust me, I know. If her front her end weren't all bent up, she can be SUCH a pain. Her and Vlag, ugh, I hate trying to take them out sometimes.
Half of why i watch these is for your voice, lmfao, and the SUPERB content is the other.
This looks awesome! I had only played the first one.
Totally was, Google "Carmageddon 2 Why does the UK version have zombies in it" and you'll get the official info on the ordeal. The BBFC refused to classify the original version of Carmageddon 2, so they made a zombies one originally.
I loved it. Now play it on my andriod .one of the best
Oh playing Iron Maiden in the background? A man of culture I see.
Edit: I only played the demo of Carmageddon 2 without a decent turbo gfx and a sound card. Didn’t know Maiden were in this -.^
You know in that first level, go backwards... there is a black can with red star power-up that gives you some random power-up every time, sometimes it fully upgrades to your max capacity all of your car stats...
dude iv been looking for this game for so long i played the demo and so wanted this one
I personally prefer the original way more to this one, but you made some damn good points. They're both fantastic games, definitely among my favorite racing - no - favorite video games of all time.
Musics catchy as well.. I surprisingly enjoyed it!
I love the flip from 9:10 to 9:16 :D
If that were in slow motion, it would go good with the Chariots of Fire theme music :)
nice video and the Duke Nukem imitation made me laugh.
Oh sheesh I remember Kazaa, used it to download everything back in the day!!🤣
One of the only games installed on my Grandad's computer was Midtown Madness 2, so it was played a lot by me, my sister and cousins. Any look back to that series would be very nostalgic!
I am expecting the new one too. I prefer the first one, maybe it's just an emotional thing (It's one of my "childhood games"...dont ask, I love my parents for letting me play this xD) I like the original anyway. Your channel is a great discovery, thanks Mangaminx for leading me here! You've got a new subscriber ;)
When I was little I saw Carmageddon 2 in a Gamepro, I wanted it so bad but only had an N64...
But then I saw screenshots for Blast Corps and how it had a bunch of different vehicles and explosions and I thought BALLS YEAH! Damn I'm glad I bought it.
Love that game ! hours and hours of fun !! + this game make me fall in love with Iron Maiden at the time !!
9:09 ! wow nice finish lol
im a guy who's usually into jazz/soul/rap
but i have to admit, this soundtrack was fire :)
10:45 You're TEARING US APART LGR!
Actually some of the other cars have certain advantages especially for missions. Purple Piledriver is definitely the best one for raw speed (which will come handy in that oil well mission). Plow Mk2 is the cheapest heavy vehicle you can buy and is pretty decent, one of the better choices for wrecking cops in the donut shop mission. Abba Cab is expensive but is basically the best vehicle for wrecking everybody fast. Bugga is weak and cheap but is the best one for the ski slope mission. My favorite all around vehicle is Thunderbucket. Excellent physics on that one, and good weight for damage. Kind of fast too.
Die Anna is in the game btw, you have to wreck and buy her car first though...one of the best you can get early, but i always prefered the purple piledriver for its nice and boxy shape :)
I still play it... The sound doesn't work anymore for me, but it's still fun as hell :|
Also, The Eagle is pretty good, but later in the game you'll come across Synthea in The Thunderbucket, black T-Bird with white stripes.
It's great for the late game as it's got nearly the same speed and handling as the Eagle, but weighs much more (I think it was listed at 3 Tons. So when you ram something, it hurts like hell.
The special vehicles are fun, but they're more of an incentive, as they're not really practical for objectives (like Loggerhead, Don in the snow-plow, that guy with the mining truck, the Greyhound bus or that black Semi). The smaller vehicles are the ones to use for the jumps, sneaking to places to find secrets, hunting pedestrians through buildings, etc.
Hehe, "Holy nuts!" is the best exclamation ever. XD
There is this yellow offroad-car with the driller on the front. That one was my favourite
The first time I played this on 3dfx mode blew my mind, the glass was so good looking at the time.
Love this game. So perfect.
I remember the Carmageddon games were banned in most countries in Europe but damn me and my cousin played the shit out of this game. Thanks for the review brings up memories.
Just bought this on GOG a few days ago :D
Another great video. What I would absolutely LOVE to see, is a review or lets play of Wing Commander (from 1990) on dos. That would be the most epic thing of the decade :D
1998 was the best years for videogames.
Speaking of Midtown Madness, can you do an LGR Plays or a review of it?
Love this game, so addictive lol
Man, I had Carma 1 back when I was a kid. It was easily one of my most-played games for a while, and I recently picked up the Android port of it with the Humble Bundle. It actually plays extremely well (with the D-pad control)! I never did manage to play Carma 2 (looks so similar that they even kept the announcer clips).
I can't wait for the new one, and I kick myself for missing the Kickstarter. It'd be awesome to have a modern Carma to romp through. Online multiplayer would be amazing fun.
The game at the left when you show the game box, it's Speed Buster? I think I played it a really long time ago and I did not remember the name so thank you so much for making me find it again.
Because they're still every bit as good and enjoyable as new games. Also, "the price of new" implies 50 to 60 dollars, and that's certainly not the case as almost every old game on GOG is 9.99 or less.
TDR2000 is not too bad! Of course I consider it the worst of the trio, and I agree about the annoying missions, but in the end of the day, you are able to cheat on the missions, beat them quickly and enjoy the normal gameplay. My favourite will always be Carma 1, because of its dark, extra gory setting.
I am really happy to see normal reviews again!, they cheer my lunchtime so much!
YES! FINALLY C2, damn what a game, still is.
3:52 I don't think his Obamacare will cover that, OUCH.
Man I cant wait for Carmageddon Reincarnation! I hate how people confuse the GTA 4 mod with the game about stunts and obnoxious hilarity.
No exact date yet, but sometime in the first half of 2014 they hope!
11:13 "Fat Bastards everywhere!" Earth 2020-21, after the quarantines.
I had a bigass carmageddon 2 poster (the cover of your boxed copy) in my room for years when i was a kid.
Oh I was thinking Midtown Madness too, man they need to make another one.
I think that the first Carmageddon game looked darker and more serious. This game though, it looks way too sophisticated for such a brutal concept.
I'm surprised this wasn't on GOG before a few days ago. I grabbed it as soon as I saw it.
Usually it's just bundling the games with DOSBox (or nGlide, in this case), with preconfigured tweaks to the games and any necessary patches applied. The focus is on making the games work straight out of the box.
If you already own this game legally, you could probably get it working by installing nGlide. Still, I support GOG because of their DRM-free stance and their work bringing classics back to life.
Now I seriously got to add a repulsificator on my car. Seriously, that would help when a horrible driver is in the way.
Boing, Crash, BOOM(Possibly), haha!
Great game! Still play a lot of Carmageddon 2!
im not (very) ashamed to recognice i've probably played Carmageddon 2 over 3k hours. May be even more, it also had a lot of upgrades to discover, first you had to get the blue (i think) ones, then the golden ones, and save 50k cash for each. I remeber the lvl wich was the city, the one with the Dumpster truck, in wich roofs there were A TON of stuff, was a bit hard to get there but man when u did... And.. i think there was Die Anna, but you faced her later in the game. Also i think the later levels increased the number of opponents from 5 to 10 gradually. I had a ton of fun wuth the jet bus, Mike something was the driver, if i remember correctly. Also the UFO over the pyramids... man, the feels...
