This game was on everybody's naughty list. And that's why everyone wanted to play it. It's not the best racing game, with floaty handling, and moon inspired physics, but it was amazing with it's localized damage model, and the option to win a race not by racing fast, but destroying your opponents or even killing every pedestrian on the map (but who had the time and/or patience for that?)

If you had A Voodoo card this game would look even better, with full 3D acceleration.

Carmageddon was great, as was the first Destruction Derby. The graphics aged like milk but at the time...man what a game. Especially the (partly crazy) physics and damage model were impressive.
