The title is a homage to the inspiration for the Carmageddon series, Death Race 2000. As with the other games in the series, one of the most controversial aspects was that pedestrians could be killed by immolation (being set on fire) or graphic collisions that could include body ripping. In some countries, the human pedestrians were replaced with zombies - actually only changing the red blood to green slime - but patches were circulated on the internet that reverted the game to its original state.
Another Carmageddon installment would not come until 15 years later, when it came as Carmageddon: Reincarnation.[1]
During development of TDR 2000, SCi hired Tozzer.com to create an online comic based on the Carmageddon video game.[2]
A Game Boy Color version of the game was also slated to be released but was cancelled for unknown reasons.[3]
Expansion pack[]
The Nosebleed Pack was the official expansion pack for TDR2000 adding new vehicles, environments, powerups and improved multiplayer modes with extra maps. It was later released as a free patch. The soundtrack is by Plague and Utah Saints.
