Carmageddon is a vehicular combat video game released for personal computers in 1997. It was produced by Stainless Games and published by Interplay Productions and Sales Curve Interactive. It was ported to other platforms, and spawned a series.

In 2011, Stainless Games obtained the rights to Carmageddon from Square Enix Europe. iOS and Android ports were released in 2012 and 2013, respectively.[4] THQ Nordic acquired the rights to the Carmageddon series from Stainless Games in December 2018.[5]


The player races a vehicle against several other computer-controlled competitors in various settings, including city, mine and industrial areas. The player has a certain amount of time to complete each race, and more time may be gained by collecting bonuses, damaging the competitors' cars or by running over pedestrians.

Races are completed by either completing the course as one would a normal racing game, "wasting" (wrecking) all other race cars or killing all pedestrians on the level.[6] The game includes thirty-six racetracks, played across eleven different locations. The game features three instrumental remixes from Fear Factory's 1995 album Demanufacture.


The game that became Carmageddon started out as 3D Destruction Derby, a banger racing sim prototyped by Stainless Software. This was signed by SCi in 1995, with the condition that it be made into a licensed game to guarantee popularity. Initially, SCi wanted to use the Mad Max license, but was unable to find out who owned the rights to the franchise. It instead secured the Death Race 2000 license, as a sequel to the original film was at that time planned.[7]

According to head programmer Patrick Buckland, the initial concept stemmed from team members getting bored while playing racing games, leading them to ultimately drive in the wrong direction and crash into other cars. They decided it made sense to create a game where this was the objective to begin with.[7] Shortly after, Psygnosis released a game with this same concept, Destruction Derby.

The notion of running over pedestrians was added to distinguish the game from Destruction Derby and arouse controversy.[8] However, there had been a number of recent games which involved running over pedestrians, such as Quarantine and Die Hard Trilogy.[8] Rob Henderson from SCi suggested increasing the potential for controversy by awarding the player points for the pedestrian kills.[7]

Carmageddon: Max Damage is an expansion update to Carmageddon: Reincarnation, featuring additional cars and stages, as well as improved graphics and performance. It was released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in July 2016. The game is available both as digital download and as a physical disc, with the disc version being distributed by Sold Out Sales & Marketing. It was later released for Microsoft Windows on 28 October, and was given as a free update to all existing owners of Reincarnation on Steam.[9
