#PS1day

Back in 1995, Reflections took an approach to racing games that nobody had seriously considered before.

What if, instead of gaining points for doing well in the traditional manner, though keeping that option available, racers could gain points by damaging their opponents' cars?

What resulted was the strangely compelling Destruction Derby.

No wounder the #PlayStation really succeeded:

#Psygnosis making affordable #DevKits whilst #Nintendo got #3rdConsoleCurse with the #N64 meant all they needed was to snatch the people that outgrew Nintendo.

A lovely coffee-table book for those who enjoy this elegant game for a more civilized age.

( Big thanks to @havchr for making me aware of this one! )

Playing some Wipeout XL on my newly-repaired Playstation (SCPH-1001, purchased in 1996) using the Namco NeGcon analog racing controller.

I've replaced the PSU and the dead optical drive on this unit with a pre-tuned unit from TotalConsole. Drop in and go. Glad to have this back up and running after several years dark.
