Carmageddon is the original freeform driving sensation, where pedestrians (and cows!) equal points, and your opponents are a bunch of crazies in a twisted mix of automotive killing machines. The game features anarchic drive-wherever-you-like gameplay and over-the-top surreal comedy violence. It’s the racing game where racing is for wimps.

Now the same Mac & PC classic that was BANNED AROUND THE WORLD is back and available on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch!

Carmageddon features real-world environments that have been turned into killing fields, where the locals stay out on the streets at their peril. As well as using your car as a weapon, every level is sprinkled generously with power-ups that have a vast variety of mad effects, adding a whole extra level of craziness to the proceedings. In every event you have the option to “play it your way”… Waste all your opponents, kill every pedestrian, or (perish the thought) complete all the laps. Oh and watch out – the cops in their super-tough armoured patrol vehicles are lurking, and if they catch you being bad they’ll be down on you like several tons of cold pork!

FEATURES • 28 dangerously deranged Opponents • 11 wildly exhilarating Environments • Career Mode featuring 36 satisfyingly violent Levels • Race and Wreck opponents to unlock 30 playable cars! • Universal App • iCloud Support • 27 Cunning Stuntworthy Achievements • Leaderboards • Game Center integration • Multiple control methods: digital, analogue (mix ‘n’ match), tilt • Edit your control layout in game to your preferences • Comprehensive Action Replay System • Movie editing; Save your movies straight from the game to YouTube; Share links using iOS 6 • Retina display and iPhone 5 support • Environment maps and other special effects • Enhanced pre-lit environments • Buckets of gibs • Tons of laughs

Plus the opportunity to make in app purchases to unlock ALL the cars (apart from the secret one) and ALL the races! Carmageddon requires iOS 5.1 or later.

AWARDS AND RECOGNITION FOR THE ORIGINAL GAME Carmageddon won the “Game of the Year” trophy in the 1997 PC Zone Reader awards. Carmageddon 1 & 2 were “Driving Game of the Year” 1997/1998.

SELECTED REVIEWS OF THE ORIGINAL GAME Originally released for the PC in 1997, Carmageddon was an instant hit and the titles went on to sell over 2 million copies worldwide. Here’s what a sample of the gaming press thought at the time:

“Carmageddon is visceral, violent, vehicular fun...” - GameSpot 8.8 out of 10

“Carmageddon, to get straight to the point, is one of the best computer games I've ever played… Carmageddon is God!” - Duncan McDonald 95% Classic Award PC Zone Magazine

“Carmageddon is one of those games that only come along once in a blue moon. An essential purchase.” - Escape Magazine 6 out of 6 “The gameplay is spot on and anyone with a dark enough sense of humour should give it a go.” - Computer Gaming World 4 out of 5

“So next time you gun down coppers on GTA VI, just remember, Carmageddon’s controversy was there first, and you have a lot to thank it for.” - RetroGarden

ABOUT STAINLESS GAMES 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.

Stainless Games now employs well over fifty mad, dedicated people of assorted gender, height and width. They can all be found dangling precariously from a small chalky rock just off the South Coast of England.

Old school fun.

I played this game years ago on my old PC. The iOS version is pretty much identical and plays fine with on screen controls. Good times!

Awesome!

Thanks for bringing this classic to iOS, it’s a blast to replay one of my favorite old games! Please bring the newer versions back to the Mac OS! Nothing like playing with real keys or a controller.

I paid for this game and it didn’t have any ads. Then the game stopped working for a while (frozen screen on the guy’s face) and now it works again and there are ads. What a shame.

No longer loads??

I’ve owned this app since ‘16, it’s been one of my most trusted things to use my phone for other than texting. I have no negatives and nothing groundbreaking about it. it’s an old game I used to play, that’s ported to new technology. However, what feels like 5 years ago, I just cannot get this app to work anymore. I’ve deleted, reinstalled, restarted phone… Nothing works. Game just sits on the intro loading screen of Max Damage portrait and never moves forward. Using an iphone8… Is there any chance this app will ever be fixed again to work? EDIT: I have no idea what happened, but right after I wrote this review, the game loaded up instantly. omg i’m so happy. The only “portable game” I will play.

I’d always love it.

Carmageddon brief review
     
by JR-ketchup onions · June 20, 2019

This seems like an excellent game! I like the gameplay, but the car wouldn’t turn or brake. I drove Hawk my first time. I don’t know if other cars are like that.
