10 Video Games We'll Be Ashamed To Tell Our Kids About

3. Carmageddon

From sexy damsels-who-cause-distress to a game that strips away all character and instead puts you behind the wheel of huge muscle car and tasks you with killing as many pedestrians as possible - with bonuses if you completely obliterate pedestrians.

Being one of those creations where the developers must have just sat around and said "Right, what's the worst thing we can make?", it's just one of those old school games that would never get the go-ahead in today's society.

In the 90s, gaming was most definitely seen as a marginalised medium, played wholly by people who 'lived in their mother's basements' and would burst into a sweat if there was anything female within a 10 mile radius. Therefore, things like Carmageddon were easier to accept purely as experiments with what you could create and get away with.

This was a world before GTA - and especially before GTA in 3D would change everything - so people were a hell of a lot more forgiving, looking at the series purely as throwaway nihilistic entertainment that let you indulge in humanity's dark side.
