Just thought I'd ask because I haven't seen any for quite a while. I'm talking games like autoduel and Roadwar 2000. I haven't seen anything come out like those for years. I fired up the ole c64 emulator and started play RW again and just thought I'd ask if anyone can give any recommendations.
Any post-apocalyptic car games out there?
- Thread starter tired007
- Start date
last i remember were the 'Interstate' games
pimp out yer cars with gatling guns and shit like that, but it's pretty old

You heard the man - Interstate is the way to go. An incredibly stylish game.
Carmageddon 2 is even better, IMHO, but it's a bit unorthodox. Carmageddon TDR 2000 actually has a post-apocalyptic theme (with nukes 'n all), but otherwise it's a shitty sequel to an awesome game.

Never really got into the interstate games, only thing like that i can think of is a MMO Car combat game that was announced at E3 i think, but not much has been released about it yet, tough it looks from the press releases and stuff that their heart is in the right place.

I wonder though, what's the point in a post-apocolyptic car game (as in: in what way does it differ from a normal car game?).
Ofcourse when you're talking about something like Roadwarrior (my god how long ago was that?) well there's plenty of games out there that let you drive a car with guns attached, but I don't see the difference between the Post-apoc and non-post-apoc ones.

Are you implying that it's possible to compare Fallout and Baldur's Gate?
i dont classify Carmageddon under "PA". i do remember the subtitle was Carpocalypse Now or something like that, but it never struck me as "PA".
only looked at it as a quick ride to paint the town red and trash other cars...

My copy (of Carma 2) works under XP, but won't support any gamepads/wheels, so I have to use the keyboard. It also won't work in full 3D, tho' I've yet to determine whether that is a fault with XP or with my graphics card.boysangur said:
It's a great, fun game with good replayability, particularly as they (still?) have an active mod scene. Adding a few new cars or maps to it freshens it up a lot.
I wouldn't really class it as PA, it's more dystopian if anything, but that's looking a bit deeper into it than is really necessary.
Yeah. Strictly speaking, there aren't any "real" post-apoc driving games out there.
Unfortunately.
Unfortunately.

how about Interstate then ?
ok it's not like fallout or anything, but obviously society crumbled & therefore it can be considered PA. pretty much roadwarrior stuff going on...

about carmageddon:
a bunch of complete wack0z trashing the place does not make it a crumbled society imho... if that would be the case, the US of A crumbled ages ago.
ok the carmageddon 1 cities & such looked pretty weird and the cops plain nuts, but most of carmageddon 2 looks pretty 'fun' & 'peaceful' until an out of control car comes swinging around the corner crushing about 10 people between itself and a wall... not really what you would expect as a "PA" setting.
i dont know the other game you are refering to though.
If they do, it will probably be XBox only, with robots instead of pedestrians and a fluffy teddy-bear instead of Max Damage.Malkavian said:
