About DD |
---|
The Destruction Derby (DD) video game series debuted in 1995, based around the real-life sport of demolition derby driving. The original DD game was a instant hit, as it was the first ever video game involving demolition derby. This allowed gamers to smash and wreck their opponents, be it in a destruction bowl or a race. The real-time 3D, 32-bit graphics were great for its time. In 1996, the well-known DD2 came, with awesome graphics for its time and unbelievable demolition that was just pure fun. Raw came in 2000, offering a large variety of content, including combining demolition derby with other race styles, and awesome race tracks. Arenas followed on in 2004. The DD series will always remain as one of the most legendary racing video game series, simply because of its awesome exclusivity of destruction. No other series has managed to emulate the quality that DD has offered in all those years. And gamers loved them all too; no wonder why all the PlayStation DD titles received platinum sales. A timeline of the series can be seen here |

31 October 2015: Happy 20th birthday! Yes, today exactly two decades ago the original Destruction Derby game was released on the PlayStation in Europe, and on MS-DOS. The start of what would become the most smashing and bashing video game series! As a tribute to DD, the background image of the wiki will be temporarily changed to one accomodating its anniversary, based on the Buckle up... and sight tight ! loading screen. We are hoping to see more people take part in the tribute online. Play the game like it's 1995 and relish the nostalgia. Upload some videos on Youtube and tell friends about it! That way we can make more people aware that it's 20 years of not just WipEout (which was also brilliant) but DD as well. Here at the wiki community we would like to thank all the staff of Psygnosis (R.I.P.) and Reflections from '95 who created the first title. And here's our gift to Psygnosis and Reflections!
