Some of you may remember Carmageddon, the first in a series of drive-and-kill games for DOS and later Windows. Unlike other racing games of the time, Carmageddon was notable for being a very violent game. In addition to being able to win races by completing laps the fastest (booooriiiing!) you could opt to wreck all the other racers or kill every pedestrian in the area. In addition, you're encouraged to kill pedestrians in general since they instantly award you money you can use to buy powerups, repair your car mid-race, and more. This series was known for being censored when released in certain regions, anything from a different blood color, changing the pedestrians to aliens, or even banning the game outright depending on which game it was and which country it was in.
Unlike other kickstarter-backed 'reincarnation' projects that tend to involve a new group buying the rights (and source if applicable) to the game from the original team, was done by many of the original people at Stainless software.
As thanks for the kickstarter being backed, the game is free for today.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.
