A pre-alpha version of Dethrace has been released on the 3DS console. This game is a port of the iconic and controversial Carmageddon, originally released in 1997. Known for its violent gameplay, Carmageddon allows players to score points by running over pedestrians and engaging in high-speed races.
This is a port of Dethrace, a project that attempts to learn how the 1997 driving/mayhem game [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmageddon Carmageddon] works behind the scenes and rebuild it to run natively on modern systems.


The 3DS version is the result of meticulous reverse engineering, adapting the original code to Nintendo's portable console. This offers nostalgic fans a fresh experience on a modern platform.
