The timings good too, because Stainless Games have just released Carmageddon: Max Damage on PC… for grown ups. Now I’m twenty-six, I’ve got hair in my butt crack and money in my pocket so I can buy whatever the hell I want. Of course I never got to play it because I was too young. A brief synopsis of the gameplay outlined the gratuitous slaughter of innocent bystanders as deranged competitors tried to obliterate each other in vehicular combat. I remember reading an article in a gaming magazine in 1998 about controversial and banned games the world over, and that’s where I first glimpsed Carmageddon. The more violent a videogame was, the more I wanted it, but none more so than Carmageddon. I was only a wee cub back then, but my memories are vivid. Back in the nineties, before GTA, people were losing their minds over the likes of Mortal Kombat and Duke Nukem for their graphic violence and all-round naughtiness.
