..................................Submit news
As you see we changed the banner. If you want this banner on your site, join it. We also made a simple banner for our site which you can find here. If you want to support us, put this banner on your site in your Links section. Today there were a few visitors but we hope it will increase tomorrow and the days after. Tomorrow we will start with a new News Archive section.
Press this link to send me more wishes. Or post a message on the Message Board. But we really need more wishes. Maybe they come true.... So press the link or the Submit news link or post a message but do it quick because we have to send it to the team in order to let them think about your ideas. We are also creating a new banner and we hope it will be finished soon. See you tomorrow.
Many sites are creating a Carmageddon Wish List and so are we. What do you want to see in the next Carmageddon game ?? By mailing your wish, you have a chance that it will be in the new Carmageddon game. You can also use the Message Board for it. We will collect every wish and put it on a Wish List page. In a few months we'll send all the wishes to the makers of Carmageddon. Not to Stainless Software or SCi but to an other team. So hurry up and send me your wishes before it's too late.
As you see we now have a new banner from BannersXchange. We will see how it works and otherwise we bring back the other banner :) . Well, that's all I wanted to say. I will put this news in the Old News section tomorrow so we can start with the new News Archive section. See you later.
We have updated the Cars & Pedestrians section with new cars. A few pedestrian will follow later this week. We also have some problems with the 'promotion tour' so there's a chance of a delay.
Do you own a website ?? Want to become a MICRo member ?? Then this if for you. By sending your name, nick name, e-mail address and, if you have one, your site you can become a member of MICRo. Members receive a newsletter every 2 weeks (with pictures and maybe files). You'll also get a logo for your site which shows the people that you are a member of MICRo. The information will be kept secret of course.
A lot of people ask if there will be new Carmageddon cars, from the original Carmageddon game. I just saw someone who liked to have Stella in Carmageddon and some other people who wanted the Special Forces. Well, I can tell you that some of the people are working on some original cars from Carmageddon for Carmageddon 2 but we don't exactly know which one and if they will be released. If so, I will put them in my Cars & Pedestrians section just like all the other cars. We hope we can add more cars later this week together with some pedestrians (Homer Simpson, Nudie Cutie etc.). If the section won't be updated, then there is too little space. Then we will try to put the files on-line somewhere else as soon as possible. But if this happens we will tell you first.
Today I would tell you why I disagree with the people who think the games are too expensive. Well, the makers of the game Carmageddon, Splat Pack and all other Carmageddon games want to earn money for all the work they have done. They work so hard to create these games for us, so I think they are right. Why should they release 2 games at once ?? It would be too cheap (or too expensive), and that for 2 (!) games. It's up to you if you want to buy these games or not. I will try to update the site tonight or else I see you tomorrow.
It was a very very busy day today but as you expected I try to update the site every day with the latest Carmageddon news. The new title of the new Carmageddon game is released. Its name will be Carmageddon 3: Death Race 2000. Also a Carmageddon Internet game will be released (read yesterday's news) but you have to buy these games seperately. At the moment people disagree with this because it's too expensive buying 2 games (you know, because they are both Carmageddon games). But I disagree with this people, and I will explain it to you tomorrow.
I have mailed Stainless Software several times but they don't answer to my letters :) , while the people at Pedestrian Precinct got info about a new Carmageddon game and a Carmageddon game for people to play over the Internet against other fans. Here is what they had to say:
"SCi Plc (Aim:SEG) and ON-Line Plc (AIM:ONL) announced today that they have signed a Heads of Agreement to bring a Massively Multiplayer version of SCi's phenomenally successful Carmageddon franchise. Carmageddon is the hugely popular hit driving game from SCi; which across all versions is fast approaching the million-seller mark.
The project has the working title of Carmageddon On-line. The game will be developed and hosted by On-line Plc utilising SCi's extensive Carmageddon assets (already developed for current versions of the franchise) and SCi's established e-commerce expertise.
It is anticipated that the On-line game will be released simultaneously with the retail version of Carmageddon 3 on PC CD ROM, currently scheduled for November 99.
Jane Cavanagh, founder and Chief Executive of SCi commented, "as a 'made for medium' Internet game we are expecting our worldwide hit franchise to become one of the 'Killer-apps' the World Wide Web is waiting for. On-line are acknowledged leaders in on-line gaming. By combining their expertise with SCi's proven ability to market and exploit a worldwide franchise both companies will be well placed to be in on the ground floor of the burgeoning on-line entertainment explosion."
Clem Chambers, Marketing Director at On-line said. " SCi has leveraged Carmageddon to become a worldwide phenomenon. Linking up with SCi gives us an opportunity to jump-start the Carmageddon franchise into Pole Position in the Internet Massively Multiplayer universe. With our combined Internet expertise the prospects are very attractive."
"SCi announced to the market today the release of the third in the Carmageddon series ‘The Death Race 2000’ for the PC CD-ROM. It is expected the game will be released in November this year.
The Carmageddon series has proved to be one of the most successful driving franchises in the market with world-wide sales topping the million mark across all versions. The ‘Death Race 2000 ‘is set to take this success one step further. This time the pedestrians fight back! No longer will Max have the streets to himself. However, for a detailed look into the features and game play you will have wait for the official launch at E3. One thing can be guaranteed – the wait will be worth it!
This is the second press release from SCi this week. On Monday, SCI announced their partnership with On-Line Plc to develop a unique ‘Massively Multiplayer’ internet version of Carmageddon. This will offer true internet head to head carnage to Carmageddon fans around the world. It is expected that this too will be launched this November. In addition, purchasers of ‘The Death Race 2000’ will automatically receive 3 months free subscription to the internet experience."
The PP (Pedestrian Precinct) informed the people that SCi has confirmed
that a new Carmageddon game will be released in November '99 (apparently). We don't know if this is true yet, but we will try to ask. We will try to keep you informed of course. Also we found some new cars and we soon will put them in the Cars & Pedestrians section.
Well, the Carstockalypse file is at this site now and can be downloaded here or in the Cars & Pedestrians section. This file allows you to easily install a new made car for Carmageddon 2.
Lots of people download the cars in the Cars & Pedestrians section and then ask me how to get them to work. Well, there is a file called Carstockalypse which lets you easily install the new cars. This file is not available at this site yet, but it soon will. I will tell you people when you can download it and, of course, where to download it. More cars will be added later these days.
Because of illness I wasn't able to update the site yesterday. It's going better now and I hope I will be able to update it today. If you have any news, submit it. Stainless informed the people that they would release new pedestrians in a few weeks, but as you see they haven't done that yet. I'll try to contact them but I don't think I will receive any information back...
Sorry there won't be an update (except this one) today. I'm very busy at the moment but I hope to have more news tomorrow. I'm testing a lot of new games at the moment (Worms: Armageddon, Turok 2, Half-Life etc.). Half-Life is a very good game and so is Worms. As a matter of fact they're all great games. And it plays terrific with some great music :) . Why I am talking about this ?? Eh...I don't exactly know. Let's cut the crap and say goodbye.
The Cars & Pedestrians section is updated with new cars and more information about the cars. You can download them now. If you have a pedestrian or a new car, mail it to me together with a screenshot and I will put it on-line. You may have noticed that there are almost no pedestrians. In fact there are no pedestrians at this site yet, as there are no new pedestrians released.
Just a quick update for you from Carma Garage. Everything is ok now. The server works and he will upload more files this week. The site is now available and can be entered here. That's it for now, C U later.
I created the Midtown Madness section as soon as possible and it's open now. There are a few screenshots which are not good or too small. By saving them to your hard disk (right-click, Save As) you have a chance for a better view. Open them in Paint Shop Pro and zoom in to have a better look. Sorry for all the trouble.
Hi and welcome ! The new site is opened. As you see the design has changed and looks better. You may have noticed that it loads faster too. Tomorrow and a couple of days after I give you more information about Microsoft's newest game, Midtown Madness. I hope you enjoy the new site and that you'll sign the guestbook. The index page will also be changed to a good and professional page. The Cars & Pedestrians section is updated with a new car called Traktor. Download it in the Cars & Pedestrians section. Oh, I hope to find the information about the cars very soon so I can update the last few cars in this section.
I will now explain what MICRo means. It means Music Instructor's Carmageddon Race . (.=0). The site will open in 3 days. I'm very busy at the moment so this is the only update for today. More news tomorrow.
No news about Carmageddon today. I've been working whole day on the new site and I must say it looks good and it loads fast. New opening: next week. C2CNFS has changed its name into MICRo. I will explain when the new site is opened.
The new site is finally working the way I want. It will be finished very soon, but I need your opinion; that means you have to tell me what you think of it. I'm now creating a new logo and I will be working on the new site today. And I'm pretty sure it's going to look great because it loads fast. People want a fast site with no bugs or something so I'm doing my best to keep you people happy. More news later this day.
The webmaster from Carma Garage, [)@rKvIPe®, mailed me because he had some problems. Here is what he had to say:
"I'm currently not updating anymore because I have some problems with the server here and I'm trying to get a new host. When I have my new host there will come a really BIG update.You can check my site for more info or the Message Boards.
I've been working on a new design for this site. It took me a while before I got the hang of it, but I now know that they work. The Java buttons will probably be removed and will be replaced by normal text links which is easier and faster to load. The new design will be on-line next week with a lot of new stuff. Also, I'm looking for a new name for this site.
I need a new name real hard, so I would appreciate any ideas by mailing me.
The webmaster from Carma Garage gets a beta from Midtown Madness, just like me, at the end of the month. We'll test it and put a preview on this site.
The Cars section is finished. By pressing the link you'll find the section with the latest cars for the game. It is possible that some files don't work (Big Cheese). Please don't mail me for this, as I will try to fix the problems soon. I want to thank [)@rKvIPe® from Carma Garage for making the Cars section available.
Well, I've been working on the Cars section which will appear in the Car(-Skins)/Pedestrians section. The section has the latest cars and you can visit it now, but you can't download anything as the files need to be uploaded first. This will be done tomorrow. You may have noticed that the Files section has no downloadable files anymore. I had to delete these in order to gain some space for the cars. Sorry 'bout that. If you have a new car or pedestrian just send it to me and I will put it in the Cars section. That's it.
The Cars section opens soon with lots of new cars, informations and images. And, of course, the files. So keep on visiting. If you're waiting for the console versions of Carmageddon 2, you should visit SCi and click on the Carmageddon Consoles link. This will take you to the site for console versions. Also, I need someone who can help me finding any news about Carmageddon 2. If you want to help me, just mail me and I will mail you back.
The first update today was a little bit old. Well, a little bit, a couple of months I mean :) SCi has updated their site about Carmageddon 2 for the Mac. Here's what they had to say:
Release: March/April (TBC)... No demo will be available.
Carmageddon II™ Carpocalypse Now™ will be compatible with the new iMac and G3 Macs, and with Voodoo1&2 3D accelerator cards.
Carmageddon II™ on the Macintosh will include all the smash and trash features from the PC version that have made it the Best Driving Game* of 1998.
Within the next couple of weeks, Mac User, Mac World and Mac Format will be reviewing the game. All reviews will go up on this site as they happen, so watch this space.
You can pre-order your copy of Carmageddon II™ Carpocalypse Now™ for the Mac from our
Online Sales Section (To do this visit SCi's website).
Alternatively, the game will be on sale in selected PC World, HMV and other Mac stockists. It will also be available through Mac mail order companies.
Nothing much today. But we do have more information about the Mac version of Carmageddon 2. Here's the news:
There seems to be some speculation about the status of the Mac version of Carmageddon II - Carpocalypse Now. Well, every Mac owner can breathe a sigh of relief - the Mac version is being worked on as you read this. Stainless Software's MD Patrick Buckland said :
The Mac version will be fully compatible with the iMac as well as supporting Voodoo 1 & 2 graphic accelerators. SCi is hoping to release the Mac version early in December.
Quick update: the window problem is fixed and every button links to the mainframe. You may have noticed that the PlayThing II and Normal Editing section don't work. This is because they aren't finished yet and they have to be perfect in order to create your own cars. That's it for today, I'll see you tomorrow with the news.
From now one we start with the news. We haven't fixed the window problem and the Message Board will be available tonight. Maybe some changes with the buttons, but that's not sure either. We have mailed Stainless Software and SCi several times, but they just don't reply. Maybe they are too busy with the console versions of Carmageddon 2 (N64, PSX)... :) The Car(-Skins)/Pedestrians section will be replaced by a new section with all the official new released Carmageddon 2 cars. Still haven't got any mail about the Music Instructor - Get Freaky video. If you have the single, please mail me so I can tell you what I mean/want.
As you see there are some changes. There are now scroll-down menu's with the normal items. The other buttons can be put back by pressing the X sign. There will be no other updates today, but I hope to see you tomorrow. I'm still trying to fix the window problem. Everybody in da house get freaky !!
Well, I just finished the other buttons and they are on-line now. Just click a button and it will open a small menu which is the same as the left side. Watch out, the menu's can not be put back. We will soon start with the real Carmageddon news so keep on visiting this site. Oh, and I need the video from Music Instructor - Get Freaky. If you have it or you know where to download it, please mail me. You get 5 MP3's for this video. And I almost forgot to tell you, we have the smallest MP3's on the Internet, so if you can help me...
