Carmageddon (Gizmondo) was a game that was going to be released on the Gizmondo handheld console. It's existence discovered though a copyright application, the game was said to be published by SCi, and developed by Stainless. Unfortunately, when the game was approximately 80-85% complete, it was cancelled due to the unpopular Gizmondo's demise.

Features

The game was a port of the PC original, and a close one at that. The pre-release box art boasts that the graphics were in full 3D, and that the damage model and physics would remain intact. 25 racers would feature, and there would be 36 levels over five locations. The multiplayer mode was to have seven modes and three unique tracks.

Misc. info

• The game was loosely based on the original Carmageddon.
• The developers planned to include all the levels in Carmageddon, but the level files only show a few. This is most likely due to the ROM's pre-release status.
• This game was often confused with Carmageddon TV, which was another cancelled entry in the franchise.
