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.
I reckon I'd have had the world's fastest time on that one demodisc track. I never had the full game but I played the everloving holiness out of the demo.
I owned this game, it was one of the only "longbox" games I kept around because it was so good. That being said the sequel Wipeout XL (aka Wipeout 2097) was superior in basically every way so it got a lot more play time. Fun fact, there was a native PC port for Wipeout XL that looked and ran amazing even at the highest resolution it supported (1600x1200 I believe).
For those that love the game like myself. This is the closest thing in recent years. Playing it in VR was nuts.
Slight correction here (because I've been obsessed with this game series for the best part of the last 30 years): WipEout only features music from Psygnosis' in house composer Tim Wright aka CoLD SToRAGE. Left Field, the Chemical Brothers and Orbital appear on the official soundtrack CD but not in the game. Its sequels like WipEout 2097 or Wip3out include in-game licensed music from the likes of the Prodigy, FSoL, Propellerheads or Photek.
I had it on the n64. we also had Mario kart, but we mostly only played battle mode on that, and if we actually wanted to race, it was usually wipeout
edit: apparently the n64 one was actually a whole separate game in the series, not a port of the ps version
how do you add multiple pics on here?
Just add them to the text in your post.
But yeah, wipeout was awesome. Redout 1 really scratched that itch, including the music.
That's awesome. I remember ripping the music from Wipeout 3 when I was younger. Good stuff.
I still listen to that soundtrack.
Played a hell of a lot more Diddy Kong Racing.
Isn't that the one that was emulated on a microcontroller last week or so?
Great cover art
WipEout is my favourite game series of all time. All of them, yes even Fusion on the PS2.
Wip3out is probably my most favourite in the series. Mega Mall being by far the best track. But yeah just an absolute fantastic series all around.
Hell yeah! I had Wipeout XL and the twisty controller!
Man I miss long boxes it was that perfect link between carts and jewel case disc games where it didn't just feel like a CD or DVD.
Was? It's a timeless masterpiece!
Great game and great memories with my friends.
Is that a long box edition in your pocket or are you just happy to see me
