The Armageddon starts with C.

Carmageddon Max Pack, the game of ruthless racing rivalry and motorized metal mayhem is now available on GOG.com for only $9.99.

Ah, automobile racing! Such a classy sport. The pinnacle of friendly rivalry, fair play, and finesse. There's quite no other activity a gentleman could enjoy more on a Sunday afternoon in the company of his good chums. I know there are some unprogressive circles proclaiming automobile racing to be brutish, morally corrupt, and unworthy of a true gentleman. I say! It's hard to understand all that public controversy surrounding our favorite pastime. Some accidents are bound to happen, but risk is a crucial ingredient of every elite entertainment. It's certainly not like we are putting anyone but ourselves in the harm's way. The thought that a gentleman driver could run over a pedestrian with his automobile is simply... pedestrian. I can't imagine how this noble sport could ever become unfair, not to mention brutal. Absurd notion, I say. Absurd!
--Sir Harold M. Damage, April 1908, Dullbottomshire

Carmageddon Max Pack, a dynamic racing game with original vehicles, exaggerated car damage model, (un)realistic physics engine, and little to no rules, embodies all the fears of early auto racing contestators. With deviously designed tracks, oddball drivers, and wheeled monstrosities that pass for cars, this game will entertain you just as much as it will shock you. The Max Pack edition includes the original Carmageddon and the Splat Pack expansion. You have to see it for yourself. But before you go, here's a little pro tip: the best way to make sure that no one reaches the finish line before you do is to make sure that no one reaches it at all. In other words--don't hold back!

Gentlemen... uh... people... uh... well... Drivers! Start your engines and roll out for the Carmageddon Max Pack, for only $9.99!

We'd like to thank the members of the amazing Carmageddon community, especially Toshiba-3 and hifi. Thank you, guys! Your contribution to the release of Carmageddon on GOG.com will never be forgotten.

ATTENTION Kickstarter backers of Carmageddon revival project: your codes have been already sent to Stainless, they should support you with them shortly!

Dark_Pontifex: Hi guys, I have the following error when I try to change grafics (see attached image). Anybody has a clue what to do?
Try to use setup that is in Menu -> GOG.com -> Carmageddon. I was having the same problem because the one in the folder is without any additional commands at the end. Like "Graphic mode setup.exe" GOGCARMAGEDDON".

Actually, I still can't setup it good because I'm new to DOSbox at all. What is the best setup for 16:10 1680x1050 and mid-end computer?

I suggest using the hardware accelerated version.
If you want to change the graphics of that version, you need the nglide_configurator.exe file (or something like that)
A true classic!
Not one of my all time favorites, but a golden addition to GOG's catalogue anyway.
thanks. menu works. but no matter which mode (ddraw, d3d, open gl) i still have a no 3d supported grafic in low res mode... what are the proper settings?

every time the game is closed the following message (see attachment) appears


even when i pick the non hardware exe from the startmenu (it shows vodoo....bla bla) but still looks like hardware mode (see screenshot 3)

Same here. :(

BadDecissions: I'm not excited either; in general, I shy away from games whose main selling point seems to be "Aren't I shocking?"
it's actually really great game - once you get hold of the controls of your vehicle you become quite confident and you'll enjoy this game greatly:

- there are two ways to play the game - win the race by being the fastest or win the race by destroying all the other racers (second is more fun for me, waiting for them behind corners or just smashing them in full-speed head-to-head :)
- the maps (well, the later ones) are quite large and they're all open, so you're free to drive around and explore them (if you have time of course :D
- you can acquire other racers' vehicles so you can drive fast or heavy machines eventually, which are fun to learn how to handle
- and yes, it's really funny to drive your car into an american football stadium where the players stand in line before the match - you know what that means ;)

this game is violent of course, but it's not it's only feature! :o)
Great release but I have it on playstation still. ^^
So... Any word on the second one ?

Licurg: So... Any word on the second one ?
I could be wrong, but I get the feeling that the second one will be far more difficult to get working well, as I'm assuming DOSBox couldn't be used. Sorry. (I could certainly be wrong, though.)

Not at all, it runs out of the box with the official patch and nGlide.
But if Stainless release it now they won't have anything to bribe us with for their next Kickstarter project. ;)

Nice! (But of course, as TET has said about PC gaming, so many configurations can cause problems.) I'd love to see a list of which games are using nGlide. (Maybe I'll create a new thread about that.

Anyway, I quite hope that isn't the case, lol. Maybe those highly interested in 2 should email Stainless about it. Stainless really has nothing to lose from letting GOG tweak and sell 2, other than not getting ALL the profits from selling the game themselves. It would be (a little) extra cash towards Reincarnation. :)
Yay been waiting for this for a long while ;)

So you just made the estimated date of Sep 2012 eh guys?

Let's hope Stainless can make their Feb 2013 date they estimated too ;)
Good job, GOG!

You know what to get next (LucasArts, Blade Runner, System Shock 2, etc.).
FINARRY!
