You're used to playing normal and simple racing games. Whether it's normal racing or even police chases. Now a racing game where you run over people and even cows, which gives you points and increases your time... Let's agree that it's very bold and innovative for the time the game was released. The characters: Max Damage and the iconic Die Anna They are unforgettable in the entire franchise! As for the cars... starting with Die Anna's car, her car's gameplay is like a "tank car" and you have a hard time driving... Even if you're being bad or good... the difficulty is the same! As for Max Damage's car... Compared to Die Anna's, it's infinitely better and you can get the hang of it. So much so that the game shows the cars' static shots, like the ones in Need for Speed from the 2000s, you know? The locations are good, the graphics are spectacular for the time... Nowadays it has aged badly... The movement... LOL they are literally paper sprites, like the enemies in DOOM, so don't expect much The soundtrack is remarkable without a shadow of a doubt! It's a really fun game and I HIGHLY recommend Carmageddon 1 I really hope to play the Carmageddon sequels in the future!

The lo-fi engine and screaming sounds just never get old. Bizarre gameplay, bizarre car design, pure fun. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2856237838 A truly unique game series. There are no clones of it.

Masterpiece, I'd trade this for any modern racing game. Cars handling doesn't hold your hand, wrecking enemies gives you satisfaction and so do the occasional car unlocks, which are always exciting. They just don't make games like this anymore, like it wouldn't even pass the rating system most likely, in our current snowflake woke age. Played this back in like 1999, came back just recently and had a blast. As for this particular Steam release, it's fantastic, you can adjust resolution and keybinds, through just a couple of small tweaks. I had no crashes or anything, apart from occasional audio cut offs. Played on Windows 11. P.S. You know the game is sick when it has Fear Factory as part of the soundtrack.
