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 Android phones and tablets!

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!
• Multiple control methods: digital, analogue (mix ‘n’ match), tilt
• Edit your control layout in game to your preferences
• Comprehensive Action Replay System
• 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 Android 4 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.

    It contains adds though man, I'm sick of adds.. I'd prefer to pay 10p and have zero adds.

    Annoying, like so many games on Android, which are perfect to play on a TV with a real controller, like the original Rayman release, this doesn't support popular Android consoles like the Shield TV, such a huge wasted opportunity, virtual joypads are way too slow and cumbersome for action games like this....

    I previously paid for this app (not currently installed on my phone) and now they've made it free and added adverts??? Disgraceful, cold.

    Thanks, I thought it was going to be a 10p deal. I never expected it to go free.

    paid app gone free so its probably filled with ads which is unlucky for those that bought it, still hot though.

    Time to earn more Cunning Stunt Bonuses! oO

    It's all in here including the secret unlock car. The steal rate has been upped so I doubt you would need any in app purchase to unlock cars. The graphics and sound are the same as the when they originally came out.

    Is this the proper fx version (ie red blood) as opposed to the politically correct green blood version?

    It's politically correct to kill Vulcan's now?

    Seems to have some tech problems after recent update according to reviews on Google Play. Is that why it is now free?

    Aggghhhhh, going to have to free up some space to get this - I used to play this on the pc, so would be interesting to see what the app version is like.

    The original soundtrack was awesome, but it wasn't Iron Maiden was it? Was way punkier.

    the second one was maiden, or at least it had a handful of maiden sogns as part of it, there were a few original tracks too like the title music which was awesome

    Doesn't work at all, stays on the games booting screen!

    Well, I installed it and it's great! I was a big fan of the original and this is as faithful an Android port as I could hope for. It seems easier to win, is my only complaint.

    It tried to launch my browser once, but that was it.

    Great find OP.

    all the new reviews are 1 star since it's now ad supported, will give it a go though.

    Its got to be said some games should remain in the past. This is rubbish. It was only ever mediocre when released first time round but for free and for those who haven't played it then its worth a punt. Just don't expect much.

    crashes on launch on both of my devices including an s7.

    I liked it. It was one of the few fun games I had that would run on the POS laptop I would take to school. This and theme hospital. My favourite strat to win: kill everyone (cars I mean)
