Here's another one from me. Wipeout was an ultra cool game. This is from 1995 and is still in fantastic condition, box and game inside are barely touched (how do you add multiple pics on here?). Wipeout featured a fantastic soundtrack featuring Orbital, Chemical Brothers and Leftfield amongst others. It was probably one of the earliest games to show what the PS1 was really capable off and blew away anything the competition had.

Just wanted to add another spiritual successor, BallisticNG. PS1 style graphics, Wipeout XL/2097 inspired music, and an incredible modding scene.

You can even get a full XL/2097 campaign mod that includes the original OST.

Linux/Mac/Windows compatible.

    Does anyone remember a computer game from around 2002-2003 by Grin software? I thought it was called Ballistics but must be misremembering.

    It was like these games but you were in a tunnel and the ship stuck to the edges so you’d have to rotate around obstacles or temporarily use the release to float off and reattach. I remember it being very fast.

    I beta tested the game for Linux but don’t think the Linux port ever went GA before the Linux publisher (maybe LGP) shutdown.
