Story:WipEout XL is set in the year 2097, around four decades after its predecessor. Instead of the F3600 anti-gravity racing competition, the game features an even faster and more dangerous tournament: the F5000 AG league. The gameplay system is similar to that of the previous game: players race against each other or computer in high-speed futuristic environments, liberally picking up weapons scattered around the stages and using them against the opponents to finish the race in the highest position.Show more

This was one of my most played Playstation games. I sunk so many hours into this fully entranced by every aspect from the high speed racing, to the visuals, to the soundtrack. This is easily one of the best PSX games.
I had the PC version. The music, the atmosphere and the feeling of beating a track were exhilarating, there are very few similar games currently available on PC, and the studio that originally made it is defunct, so the chances of more of the same are not good. It's also extremely difficult to get the original running on anything beyond Windows XP.
One of the very best racing games tied in with such a cool vision of the future, and the soundtrack that took us there. Every brand felt like it's own, every track a memory. I'll never forget how much this game opened doors for me with my own tastes.

Rally TrophyIn the game, the player is taken through 42 highly detailed stages in five countries - Russia, Sweden, Finland, Switzerland and Kenya - which cover several road surfaces including gravel, mud and tarmac. Stages take place in all weather conditions such as rain in both the day and night. Damage is accurately re-created, even down to broken headlights which the player must of course preserve to see during night stages. Rally Trophy was considered by many people to be the Grand Prix Legends of rally driving, due to its focus on historic cars, and the physics models of the cars (with no traction control or driver aids) being relatively realistic and challenging for its time.Historical Non-fiction

Wangan MidnightWangan Midnight is the first video game adaptation based on the Wangan Midnight manga. The cabinet consists of two racing units with a chair and steering wheel. Similar to the concept of the Tokyo Xtreme Racer \ Shutokō Battle series, players roam the Metropolitan Expressway in Tokyo that has been divided into eight tracks. The Story mode adapts parts of the manga as the player's character seeks out and defeats increasingly challenging opponents. The player can freely roam the expressway with a traffic density that shifts according to the time of day. When an opponent is encountered the game enters a battle mode and the cars start to race each other. Each car has a life gauge, shown as an SP meter, that is drained for the trailing car. The race is over when time runs out or when one of the cars loses all SP.
The other game modes are the Time Attack mode and a Versus mode played against another player locally. The available cars are licensed from manufacturers such as Mitsubishi, Nissan and Subaru.
