If you have played Kingpin you are probably aware of the 'Join The Steel Team' texture/poster (used in map bar_st & steel1 and lots of multiplayer maps).
Well
Cherno found what looks to be the inspiration for the texture.
Djo Bourgeois: L'Inhumaine, 1925
Inspiration for Forging the Future poster? Found this poster in a book about Art Deco.
Fredz then did a side by side comparison.

Yesterday while we were playing DM, talk turned to Redneck Rampage so we ended up playing this map, Rampage.
Rampage is a retextured version of my old Frag'n'Die4 map using Redneck Rampage textures.
It's a smallish map with a large courtyard area, three small rooms and ladders that give you access to the upper ledges. This version is totally retextured using the Redneck textures and added sounds and a sample from one of the soundtrack songs.

I found a site that lists information/facts about video games. They listed 36 facts about Kingpin (one or two of which had me scratching my head).
Check out the 36 Kingpin facts
here.
I asked that AI generated Windows CoPilot "How has Kingpin influenced modern games?"
This was it's response:-
Kingpin: Life of Crime has left a lasting mark on the gaming industry, despite its initial controversy. Here are some ways it has influenced modern games:
- Gritty, Mature Themes – Kingpin pushed boundaries with its dark, crime-ridden world, inspiring later games like Grand Theft Auto and Mafia to embrace mature storytelling.
- RPG Elements in FPS Games – The game introduced RPG-like mechanics, such as hiring gang members and upgrading weapons, which influenced titles like Far Cry and Borderlands.
- Innovative AI and Pathfinding – Enemies in Kingpin used advanced AI, setting a precedent for smarter enemy behavior in modern shooters.
- Urban Crime Aesthetic – The game's dystopian cityscape and gangster themes helped shape the visual and narrative style of later crime-focused games.
Its legacy continues to be appreciated by fans and developers alike.
Here is a map we have been playing quite often lately on the Boiler Room DM server.
Ham'N'Cheez 2007 is an update of an an old map called Ham'N'Cheez I did with help from
Hypov8 back in 2007. The original Ham'N'Cheez DM map was created in September of 2001 by an unknown author. It is a small, urban style street map.
When I updated the map I made a lot of changes, but the main ones were making the map brighter, changing some textures and the amount and placement of weapons, added some ladders to improve the flow of the map, opened up access to rooftops and added more player spawns.
You can download Ham'N'Cheez 2007 from
here.

Seeing as
Tunnleram made a return to Kingpin today I thought it was only fitting to post about one of his maps he made for Kingpin way back in 2000.
The map is called Assassins Mountain Stream and Tunnleram released two versions - beta2 and beta4.
Assassins Mountain Stream beta2 is a medium sized death match map set in mountainous area with lots of water. There are ample weapons and items and the map has a good layout. Be careful in the water though as there is a strong current.
You can download Assassins Mountain Stream beta2 from
here.
Assassins Mountain Stream beta4 is a much larger version of the map. Tunnleram added a large complex to the map with several areas.
You can download Assassins Mountain Stream beta4 from
here.
Just extract/unzip the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations.
At the time of writing Kingpin is on the front page of Gamefront as one of the trending games. I'm sure it won't last long but I thought it was cool to see :)
Tunnleram, the team leader of the Crash mod from when it was developed way back in 2001 turned up for a game of Crash today.
Welcome back Tunnleram :)

Kingpin: Final Crime is an unofficial sequel to Kingpin: Life of Crime with new maps, cutscenes and sound.
Final Crime is a custom single player mission for Kingpin created by -
Method. It’s a new campaign that acts as unofficial sequel. It takes place right after you finish the original game.
Blunt flew away on the helicopter but promised to be back for Thug's ass. She knew that it's too risky to go to Crystal Palace, where Thug got all his boys, so she sent her gang, Dragons, to tear Radio City up, so Thug will have no choice but to find and stop Blunt.
You start the game in the back of Crystal Palace and go through a few levels, including "backyard" of Radio City, Sewers, Wharf and Blunt's Poison Mill.
Check the included readme for install instructions.
You can download Final Crime from
here.
Here is another Kingpin video from
KUBA18i. This one is from Sunday's game of Bagman.
If you're playing the single player campaign and lose your saves for some reason through corruption or something, there is a site called
PC Savegames where you can download saves for each level.
You can download saves for each level or a complete zip file which contains 33 save games from Single Player Kingpin. There are saves from every level of the game. There are 14 saves from the first 15 levels, 14 from the next 14 levels and 5 saves from the final 5 levels.
If your going to download the save files and install them I suggest you extract them all to a temp directory. It will create 3 folders with the saves detailed above. Just decide which part of the game you want to play (1st folder 15 levels, the next 14 or the last 5) and just copy the relevant saves into your Kingpin/main/save folder.
If you currently have save files in your save folder, I suggest you back them up first.
You can check out the Kingpin save files
here.

Hypov8 and
Killa have updated the Killapin mod.
Changes are:-
An updated harpoon model
A radar (only teammates can been seen in it). The radar has an inner circle, if a minion stands within this circle, they will get health/ammo from Boss (The same system as before but now you can see where your Boss is, should you need a top up).
New code - If a Boss survives 30 seconds or more then dies, that player will be Boss again. If a boss dies before 30 seconds, then the player with the highest kills will be chosen as new Boss.
Also changes for Boss on Boss kills
During normal play:-
Losing boss loses 10 points
Winning boss gains no points.
1 point for other kills.
During Boss time play:-
Boss on Boss kills 25 points.
1 point for other kills.
The files haven't been released yet but will be tested during Sunday's games.
If there are any players out there that would like to play Kingpin multiplayer but don't know how to find servers here is the answer.

Titleist).
Cage 2025 is a small, arena style, death match map. It takes place in a room with a cage in the middle of the room.
For Cage 2025 I added 2 teleports so you can now get on the top of the cage. I also added player spawns inside the cage and also on top.
Cage and Cage 2019 only had shotguns but I have now added a tommygun on top of the cage as well as some pistol mods.
The map has 14 player spawns, 2 sets of armor, 2 teleports and I added ambient indoor sounds.
