Maybe your all to busy "saving the environment" or "getting out more" or "your 'folks' won't cough up the keys to the minnie van" cause I feel like I'm the only one missing Carmageddon. It was a few short months ago that I driving about smashing in to peds and catching HUGE air off the train track in that logging camp. I bought a footlong, and If you have ever tried to run Carmageddon in CLassic mode you'll know that its unplayable... I'm rambling, I miss Carmageddon, are we ever going to get something like that again? or are we all condemn to running, not driving. First person Killers are fun, But driving is better.

new driving games coming? please.

    I would gladly pay *full price* for a port of Carmageddon II. (Actually, there was a discussion about this the other week at MacNN.) But really........ that game was amazing. Hell.... they should just port all three over to OS X. And I'll repeat myself- I'd pay full price for that.

    I'd like to see more car games in general, and not just boring race around in circles games.



    I'm thinking Twisted Metal for Mac.

    Didnt racer start out on the amiga back in the day when gateway owned it? just wondering.



    As for driving games go, couldnt agree with you more, maybe someday theyll be aport of motogp, but untill then you cant get any better than wipeout 2097, ok the graphics arent up to todays standards, but its fast and addictive.

    I'm getting my ped-overrunning freak on these day with Grand Theft Auto 3. Officially the game I have played most extensively in my life. It's not exclusively a racing game, but there are some races in there, and you can race yourself all you like, and then get out and do some manual damage. Now that's a game I'd pay for if it ever reached the mac.

    No, you may be thinking of another game by the name Racer. This Racer is fairly demanding on the CPU and GPU and I doubt the old Amiga could have ever handled it.



    Here's a snippet from the FAQ:

    1.1 What is Racer?

    A free car simulation project, focusing on realism. It also focuses on supporting file formats that make it possible to add your own cars and tracks with relative ease (compared to commercial closed car sims).

    Notice the version number, indicating this is NOT a finished product.

    1.8 Who creates Racer?

    The software is done by me, Ruud van Gaal. Slightly under the roof of my company, MarketGraph BV, but still mainly as a hobby. The graphics were just partly done by me (most menu items), but all the cars & tracks are done by the Racer community.

    I thought Grand Theft Auto 3 was coming to mac..

    what would it take to port Carmageddon to OSX? would a patch do it? does anyone have the know how to get this done?

    Is anyone out there making anything like Carmageddon?

    The aircraft carrier on the multi-player level was cheap. My brother and I would do the same thing all the time. Race to the bombs and take all before the other person got any. The second person who didn't make it to the bombs would try to get down to the second story and bounce all the aircraft, hopefully smashing the other car. (it actually works!) Not muchpoint to that level; we always do the same thing.8)

    Yes the airport was one of the best, Rock query was fun to but nothing beats the carnival stage.

    Yeah the Carnival was great. once we had Five macs in our shop.. I'll tell you driving around with Four other friends was soo fun.. I really miss it. I wonder why Carnage Driving games don't really come out anymore.. sad.

    I think besides running peds over adn watching their parts fly everyware and catching them with the door, the damage was the best part of the game. It was SOOO realist compared to any game of its time or even modern games.

    In the Racer directory, open the gfx.ini file in a text editor.



    Go and set "fullscreen=1" in the "resolution" block and be sure it is not preceded by a semicolon -- the lines marked with semicolons are commented out and ignored.



    Then, set the "width" and "height" attributes in the same "resolution" block to the resolution you wish the monitor to switch to.



    Yeah, it's a little cumbersome, but the game is still under pretty heavy development.
