Destruction Derby

This ain't no dragstrip. It's the place where cars come to die. You're on a mission to bash, smash and crash into the other guy until his auto (or yours) gives up the ghost. You've got the roll bars, crumple zones and hardened fenders. You'll need them. Play against the fiendish computer opponents, or an even meaner group of other gamers via the PlayStation Combat Cable. The array of tracks and race styles will keep you coming back for more!

Gameplay Systems

Destruction Derby is a vehicular combat racer based on the sport of demolition derby . The game contains three vehicles. Collisions in the game affect the controls of each car, limiting their steering and maximum speed. Frontal collisions risk damage to the car's radiator , which causes the car to overheat and stop running.

Four game modes are available: Destruction Derby, Wreckin' Racing, Stock Car Racing and Time Trial. In Destruction Derby, the player earns points by destroying other cars in a large, trackless arena called The Bowl; in Stock Car Racing, the player must finish in first place, and no points are awarded for destroying cars. Wreckin' Racing is a hybrid of the two, in which the player earns points both by winning the race and by destroying other cars. Time Trial is a solo time attack mode.

The PlayStation version features system link play for two players, while the MS-DOS version has an online multiplayer mode.
