Story:Twisted Metal consists of a series of arena-based battles against an increasing number of opponents in increasingly large arenas. These battles culminate in a face-off with the winner of the previous year's competition, Darkside, who drives a large armored car which fires multiple missiles at once. Players can choose one of 12 different vehicles with which to enter combat. Each vehicle has a distinct driver and special move. The controls consist of accelerator, brake, "tight turn" (essentially a handbrake) and turbo on the face buttons, with main weapons and machine gun selection and control on the shoulder buttons. Arenas are populated with weapon pickups to re-supply missile stocks, repair stations for repairing damage to your car, pedestrians, and course stewards armed with either machine guns or missile launchers.Show more

Did you know that Twisted Metal actually has a PC port, but it's exclusive to Japan for some reason? It works just fine, too, so this one is a totally viable option (licensing issues aside, whatever they may be).
I Remember Getting This Copy For Free On PC, It Wasn't As Great Playing On PC As It Was On PSX, But.. It Was Still So Much Fun In Multiplayer Mode Even Single Mode, I Think Its Time We Get The Whole Series Remastered On PC, Imagine Playing Them On Steam Deck!

The original Twisted Metal that started something big. The genre is virtually dead but back then. This jump started a new trend among driving games. Originally going to have live action FMV endings. Which were later released through Twisted Metal: Head-On Extra Twisted Edition on PS2. This was one of Dave Jaffe's first video games. The audio kinda sticks with you for many years. An interesting roster of characters. A small variety within the stages. Twisted Metal can be somewhat frustrating. But it's so satisfying to keep pushing forward taking out your opponents. This was an early PS1 game not quite launch title. Parts of this game holds up well with some aspects becoming more dated overtime. Honestly, it's a fun time especially you wanna blow stuff up.

This is the first PlayStation Exclusive to ever come out on PC. It's so ancient that nobody knows, because of how rare it is. I played this back in the day for hours on my PS1 days and it's just...chaotic fun all-around. F@#K, I miss the old Twisted Metal game. This will be hard to port, no doubt, because of how rare the game is on PC. Maybe Nightdive can look into it, I suppose.
Just like TM2, this one had a PC port. If TM1 and TM2 released on GOG when season two of the TV show releases, it would be a great boost to sales. Bonus points if the PC ports of the Warhawk PS1 game and Jet Moto 1 are released on GOG too.

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.

Violent Storm
Violent StormIt is the 1990s. In the beginning, World War III has at last expired. The people are left to pick up the pieces and rebuild their civilizations. However, vicious gangs that prey on these defenseless citizens are obstructing the reconstruction. The main protagonists are Boris, Wade and Kyle, vigilantes who protect the feared and helpless. Their largest problem is the corrupt, incorrigible, ruthless and lethal gang known as "The Geld Gang". They have commissioned every type of person imaginable. Purple-haired, leather-clad, chain-wielding, lead-pipe swinging, masked, martial art, orange-mohawked and men so strong and immune to pain they use manhole covers as shields. One day, when the trio is patrolling the streets, alert, ready and able to help those in need, they see a woman named Sheena (a friend of theirs) waving at them walking across the street out of a supermarket with groceries. A moment later, Lord Geld's right hand man, Red Freddy, snatches her away while riding on his purple hog. Now, the three braves must save Sheena from the grips of Lord Geld.
