Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse Now!

[Seyfert]

So I finally got my hands on this game; $5 for a big box (used though) av_smile.gif
The problem is that when I came back from the shop I opened the box and found out that it didn't contain a real manual, just a single-paper FAQ and some quick descriptions of coming SCI-games. av_confused.gif So.. anyone here have Carmageddon 2? In that case, did you get a real manual when you bought it?
The reason why I haven't gone back to the store is that I'm in the army now and aren't allowed to leave the area av_mad.gif

I didn't get a manual either. Hell, mine didn't even come in a box. It was just a shrinkwrapped CD case.

Good game though. I liked it.

I hate it when I don't get a manual av_mad.gif

Oh well.. do you know if it works on Win XP?

[Autocratic]

No manual? I think the idea is to hit the people.

i bought the big box a long time ago. i don't remember if i got a manual but i don't think there was one. there was most likely just a .pdf manual on the cd.

it's not a very complex game anyway. just smash stuff av_smile.gif

it should run fine on windows xp. i recall testing it out on a build that i did for someone...

Would have been a fun game if the cars could actually TURN! graemlins/av_wacko.gif

i recall having a problem with something like that. i think after i turned off support for a gamepad or wheel, it worked fine. i played (and finished) with the keyboard though av_smile.gif

[H@H@]

I enjoyed Carpocalypse Now far more than the original Carmageddon (Being Immortal ain't fun)

For one thing, there's more cars to choose from and the cars blow oh-so cool now. graemlins/av_cheesygrin.gif

Thanks for the replies! av_smile.gif
I played the demo a lot some years ago. Somehow I never thought of buying the game.
Anyway.. I look forward to playing it now graemlins/av_cheesygrin.gif

I bought this game, got the manual with it, too. I *loved* this game, it was real fun! Sure, it definitely wasn't the best game, but the overall fun-factor of it definitely overrules any flaws.

Don't worry about the manual. It's just like, "Remember, press up to drive forward!"

The only games I found that actually *need* a manual are D&D games, and sometimes RTS games... but usually in RTS games, they have tutorials and stuff, and new units/etc are introduced gradually (so you learn what they do and stuff). Unless it's a poorly designed game (ie. hard to learn how to play), then RTS' rarely need a manual.

RPGs, though, usually have buttloads of spells, abilities, classes, skills, etc. that are usually best read about in a manual.

don't forget to come back swearing when you get to that level where you have to destroy all the satellite dishes av_wink.gif

Why ruin it? That was a great level that was quite an accomplishment to beat. Gosh I played that game to death when it came out. My girl at the time used to get so disgusted by the dog yelps. Sick stuff.

NOOOOOO I truly ABHORED that damned level! I think I cheated on it... or maybe not. You have to use the springy jumping to get up there, but it was so smegging hard that it wasn't worth the trouble.
