Kuchenstück vom RansliteWipeout PS1 Long Box edition

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.

For those that love the game like myself. This is the closest thing in recent years. Playing it in VR was nuts.
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.
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.
Is this true for only the US version? I’m in the UK and I very specifically remember playing the game CD on a stereo. However looking back on it, it was not the black label release.
Haha same, especially with 2097. But yeah even the euro version lacks licensed music, which wasn’t a thing yet in 1995.
Having checked the Wikipedia page for Wiepout, the Euro version featured a track each from Leftfield, Chemical Brothers and Orbital. I didnt know The Prodigy were approached to provide an original song, but apparently it never happened. Looking back, it is probably my earliest memory of licensed music being used in a game. I became a big fan of Chem Bros and Leftfield because of Wipeout. Orbital not so much. It wasn’t until Gran Tursimo 1 when I again remember a licensed soundtrack being used so well and heavily.
Wow I completely forgot, you’re right. I must atone and give it another spin.
I still listen to that soundtrack.
Played a hell of a lot more Diddy Kong Racing.

Just add them to the text in your post.
But yeah, wipeout was awesome. Redout 1 really scratched that itch, including the music.
Yes, that was a good spiritual successor as was quantum redshift on the xbox. Thanks for the pics tip!
Just wanted to add another spiritual successor, BallisticNG. PS1 style graphics, Wipeout XL/2097 inspired music, and an incredible modding scene.
You can even get a full XL/2097 campaign mod that includes the original OST.
Linux/Mac/Windows compatible.
Does anyone remember a computer game from around 2002-2003 by Grin software? I thought it was called Ballistics but must be misremembering.
It was like these games but you were in a tunnel and the ship stuck to the edges so you’d have to rotate around obstacles or temporarily use the release to float off and reattach. I remember it being very fast.
I beta tested the game for Linux but don’t think the Linux port ever went GA before the Linux publisher (maybe LGP) shutdown.
I guess I answered my own question 🫢

Found this game on My Abondonware.
It works great under WINE, but you need a No CD Patch. I used
Ballistics v1.0 [ENGLISH] No-CD/Fixed EXE #3which worked perfectly.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
That’s awesome. I remember ripping the music from Wipeout 3 when I was younger. Good stuff.

Its fun. Used it for the flatout ost
Wow, that is fantastic! There are so many. Found this from my childhood. Running from home in particular.

What an awesome site.
Yeah, it is great!!
Is that a long box edition in your pocket or are you just happy to see me
Great cover art
Designer’s Republic was the graphic design firm. Their work is so distinctive and, for me, the apex of 90s graphic design.
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.
I have to say, I do miss the robustness of a megadrive / genesis case
Yeah they were built to last. They were like library shelf ready.
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!
Twisty controller?

Thanks. That is genuinely really cool. I remember the name NegCon but I dont remember this controller. Slipped me by and maybe never released in Europe?
Definitely possible, and I only had one of them. It made an already awesome game even better. It’s really a shame no more controllers like it were ever made because it would sure be nice for Moto GP.
Isn’t that the one that was emulated on a microcontroller last week or so?
Erm, not a clue. Sorry.
Right, here. Cloned, not emulated.
Was? It’s a timeless masterpiece!
Great game and great memories with my friends.
