Carmageddon is a vehicular combat and racing game developed by Stainless Games and published by Interplay Productions on June 13, 1997. Set in a darkly comedic, post-apocalyptic world, the game allows players to win races not only by finishing first but also by destroying opponents’ vehicles or running over pedestrians. Featuring over-the-top physics, destructible environments, and a variety of upgradeable cars, Carmageddon became both infamous and popular for its controversial violence and chaotic gameplay. Despite its notoriety, it earned praise for its freedom, dark humor, and groundbreaking 3D engine, cementing its status as a cult classic in the vehicular combat genre.
