Is it still worth playing?

This vehicular combat game was first released in 1998 for Windows, and ports for Mac OS, PlayStation and Nintendo 64 followed in 1999. It was the first Carmageddon game to use hardware acceleration, which went into higher quality damage models and levels. The vehicles have new damage models, including bodywork damage such as fenders and spoilers, and a car can be split in half and wasted instantly if it is not repaired before touching terrain. Any wrecked car can be purchased. The game was rated 15 plus by ELSPA, and in some countries the pedestrians are zombies and blood turns to green slime, while in Germany aliens replace the pedestrians. A damage model with cars that split in half is still a thing to see today.
