Carmageddon (Carmageddon: Carpocalypse Now on the title screen) was a top-down 2D vehicle combat game, released for the GameBoy Color handheld platform in 2001. It was developed by Aqua Pacific and published by Interplay. It is based on Carmageddon II.

Gameplay

Gameplay screenshot

There are 8 groups of levels, each containing 3 regular levels and 1 mission level. The aim of the regular levels is to complete the race, running down as many zombies as possible along the way, or by wasting other racers. If time runs out, the player's car will come to a halt then explode.

Due to the limitations of the hardware, the graphics and gameplay elements were downgraded considerably: There are only 4 racers per level, limited information on the HUD, and only 4 powerups.
