Gorkamorka, also styled as GorkaMorka and Gorka Morka, was a cancelled vehicular combat video game developed by Realtime Associates and to be published by Ripcord Games. It was based on the Gorkamorka board game by Games Workshop.[1] The game was developed for Microsoft Windows and Dreamcast.[2]

The game had players taking control of a vehicle piloted by two Orks, one driver and one gunner, who were fighting against up to 15 enemy vehicles, 32 players in total with the aim of destroying opposing vehicles.[3]

Vehicles would have been totally customisable and arenas featured booby traps and crowd interaction.[4]

Development

Gorkamorka was designed from the racing engine used in Jeff Gordon XS Racing.[4] A playable demo was shown at E3 2000[2] The game was scheduled to be released in Spring 2001[5] but was cancelled.
