Demolition Racer (1999)

Story:Demolition Racer is a racing game with a twist. Rather than a game that just requires you to try and win the race, this game gives you points to destroy the other racers' cars. The game has many styles of game play so you don't have to play the same style each game. There are 5 game styles in the Single Race section of the game. This section does not count towards unlocking cars or tracks. It is for practice and just plain fun. The main style is Demolition. In Demolition, you race against other cars around the track and get points for hitting them, spinning them in circles and knocking them into the wall. You also get a big bonus for landing on top of a car which will immediately destroy the car. When you finish the race, your final position is found by multiplying the points you got from hitting the other cars with the points that you got for the position you finished in. So if you finish first, but never hit anyone, you won't win the race.Show more

I originally played this game on the original PlayStation. My older brother and I bonded so much over this game and its sequel No Exit. I absolutely love this game and wish it got more love. I think it still holds up to this day. You don't have racing games these days doing what this did. It's not just a 1st place win deal. You have to gain points by crashing into others or the bonus boxes on the ground. I used to play this game every day after school and wouldn't get tired of it.

I still remember playing this game in a PC with Windows XP with my brother by my side... spending a lot of hours just in the demo... It was really great, I still remember the map entirelly. It will mean a lot for me to have it in my library of games.

The game features snowmobiles (referred to as sleds), stunts and fourteen snow-covered courses consisting of slippery slopes, inclement weather and treacherous cliffs. Six racers were selectable from the outset and two more were unlockable, each of which had different snowmobile handling attributes.
