The British development studio Reflections Interactive began creating Destruction Derby for the PlayStation in late 1994.


The PlayStation version features system link play for two players, while the MS-DOS version has an online multiplayer mode. Wreckin' Racing is a hybrid of the two, in which the player earns points both by winning the race and by destroying other cars. 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. Four game modes are available: Destruction Derby, Wreckin' Racing, Stock Car Racing and Time Trial. Frontal collisions risk damage to the car's radiator, which causes the car to overheat and stop running. Collisions in the game affect the controls of each car, limiting their steering and maximum speed. These are a hoot! Just wanted to write in and say thanks a bunch, as Destruction Derby doesn't get enough love/attention these days.The player engages in a Destruction Derby contest at The Bowl.ĭestruction Derby is a vehicular combat racing video game based on the sport of demolition derby. It won't make the current update that's about to get put on the Public server, but it may make an appearance in subsequent updates. I will make sure to move ahead with plans to put a few destruction derby arenas (and maybe tracks, there is one dirt track already) into Los Injurus City map when I have the time and get enough props for it scripted/imported in and working.

Destruction Derby 1 and 2 and also Whiplash (along with GTA 1 the original top-down one) were my go-to games for quite a number of years - when I wasn't playing (or making maps for) the original Doom/Doom II. However, I am quite thankful I get to relive that good old game again (well I could put it in DosBox but I lost the CD 15~20 years ago). There's not enough of these destruction derbies available for BeamNG Drive, as that wouldn't be humanly possible. While I'm not the best derby driver out there by long and far, these are very much one of my favorite things to do when playing maps. 5/ 5, Version: 1.1 I used to play this on my Cyrix 6x86 PR-150+ 120mhz (OC'ed via jumpers to PR-166+ 133mhz for Quake fps) quite often when I was in highschool in the 90's.
