Machines of Destruction is mixture of racing through a circuit and wasting your opponents with a combination of the guns mounted on your car, best played on a LAN.

By using the Weapons Designer, you can tailor your guns exactly to your needs, but not without a price tag!
Start a game and chat in the lobby with other joiners. Unlimited spectators can join also, on top of the maximum of 4 players.

Choose from either a race, a deathmatch, or ‘ion Soccer’, in which mode the players are split into two teams and must carry and then 'kick' the metallic ball through the goals. Holding the ball for too long will make it red hot, and very dangerous!

MoD supports the addition of 3 bots to the game, each replacing a player, and are capable of participating in every game mode just as the players would.

On top of all that, the game sports nice special effects, stereo sound, a large list of performance tweaking options, easy-to-use help services and an MP3 player.

This game can be complicated at best. Give it a try but don’t expect to understand the game much until you’ve played a few rounds.
There may be bugs in this game. It has been extensively tested but some will surely show up, so I’ll release a patch to fix anything that arises.

Also, this game doesn’t work online for every type of internet connection. For example if you use a router, or firewall, or other form of indirect or routed connection. The game may freeze while you try to join, or your game won’t appear for the joiners, among other problems. Sorry about this but it's beyond my control.

Please use the Help Agent, it’s there to help you get started as quickly as possible!

Important note: Online doesn't work very well. However if you manage to connect to someone, the game should be fine and bugfree from then on.

The scrolling of the game is too fast so I cant see my car most of the time!

The screen simply follows your car. However, the camera angle follows your mouse, so try to keep the cursor near your car if you're having problems. If the game starts and you can't see your car AT ALL, try clicking and pressing a few keys. It seems to happen to me if the program loses the keyboard focus. P.S. If anyone wants a really awesome energy weapon, DC mail me and I'll toss you the formula. It has low heat cost, high damage, high firing rate, and low backfire chance. It's FAR better than even the best energy weapon you can buy in the store.

I very nearly gave up on this game after witnessing the gameplay crippling "smart scrolling" to anyone who has just downloaded: go to the options and turn OFF the smart scrolling! Excellent game (gonna go back and play some more) :)

I'll just never understand some people's obsession with the word "rape". You do know what rape is, right? And do you understand why you don't (commonly) see the term used in public commercial games? (That is, unless you only buy graphic adult sex games)

looks sweet but i cant connect to anyone.

1st March, 2004

same for me, can't connect... but single player game is fun already well done game. The only small anoying thing is that it runs in a window which makes using the secondary weapon less efective, especially when one keeps on cliking outside the window.

Very good game... haven't been able to play with anyone other than a bot though... the game sound is a bit horrible and crackly as you scroll though, using the /DIB command line fixes that.

Christ guys, read the freaking documents RUN THE GAME IN 16-BIT MODE.

The firing lag is because of how 'repeat while mouse is pressed' works. It's totally unavoidable except by: 1) making sure the game runs fast or 2) making a new extension or something that uses a different method or retrieving input

Posted by ben_02

And also, this game is peer to peer, that means you connect to everyone else to send data, rather than a central server. In models like this, people behind routers are always going to have trouble connecting to other people behind routers. It's mostly DirectPlay's fault that it works so poorly, but Moo would be almost impossible to implement at this stage in development, and may not even help much.

This is good, but why does the online have connection problems? The bots are very well programmed, but this is not really the type of game that is very good as a single player game. You can only fight bots over and over for so long.:) I will have to try LAN mode out, but I think this could easily be the best multiplayer click game of all time. Single player, not that great though. It's a pity the online does not work very well.......

Oh, and Chamzel, I don't think he meant anything by it when he put it in the game. People just forget what the word means, but yes, it is probably best to avoid using it. By the way, why is this game getting so many thumbs down? Probably because of the high system requirements.....:/

Oh har har. I havent voted for it yet, but it'll probably be a thumbs down. JD, perhaps those people who voted thumbs down might not have actually liked it?

Posted by ncsoftware

2nd March, 2004

I can imagine people voting thumbs down though, since it's really supposed to be a multiplayer game and the online multiplayer option isn't working well or for a lot of us not at all.

i love the game, but it being in a window is really stupid (no offence ben, great game) but if i was to improve anything it would definetly be multiplayer and the screen, fullscreen would be awsome (for faster computers), but yea sweet game:)

Posted by Mr Coffee

2nd March, 2004

Yes, it really does need a full screen option. Also, I played some of the other game modes today and uh, the bots were pretty bad at them to say the least. They seem decent at deathmatch but they don't race well at all, nor do they play "ion soccer" very well. I did have fun making a weapon and upgrading my car, I just wish I could try my car out online.:( By the way, if you want easy and fast cash then play ion soccer against a couple of hard bots.:)

Y'know, Circy, I hate to agree with the public here, but lately you *have* been REALLY sensetive and defensive of everything. Still, though, you guys have been fairly provocative. Lighten up, people. This place really is slowly turning into a giant flame war.

Press Ctrl+Shift+Y or something to change controls. You have to change Player 3's controls though I think.

The game does not require TGF, MMF, MMF 1.5, KnP, or ANYTHING RELATED TO CLICKTEAM to run. It is packaged with everything it needs. If it doesn't run, this is a rare case and your computer is simply broken. Considering the game doesn't even run for you, you arn't qualified to write a review. In response to 'stars': Try unzipping the game correctly - if all the files are where they should be, you should not get any such error.
