PSX Longplay [243] Destruction Derby 

That ps1 intro brings back so many beautiful memories..

Man, I put so many hours into this game as a kid. This game was sick. The artists who drew the drivers did such a great job.. the announcer is hilarious, the pixel chips flying off cars as they smash into each other is so good, not to mention the soundtrack. Time to play this game again, play the old burnout games and then wreckfest to get my derby fill.

I remember if you put the the game disc in a CD player it would play the music from the game

First ever Playstation game i played. Nearly 20 years ago...

This is one of the best-selling PlayStation 1 titles, so I bought it for myself a few years ago to play it on my PlayStation 2. Nice walkthrough!

This is the 1st game i bought along with my new playstation in 95. So many memories, played this non stop. Twisted Metal was my 2nd game, another fun one back then and still fun today. Games today have lost character and any thought

its games like this one that made the psx so huge back in the days

I used to love seeing '360!' come up on the screen.

Nostalgia just punched me in the face...and I love it

The music, characters, anouncer, and sound effects are AWESOME in this game! Control and tracks not so much lol

Got my ps1 in early December 1995 I got this game with it I was 15 and wasn't really into video games but this changed everything

For Crossover and Cactus Creek courses I played "blocker." I back into the intersections backward killing cars. When they all die, I just putter and finish first getting 80+ points each. It was funny.

I just got Wreckfest a few days ago. I bought it because Destruction Derby was my 1st Playstation game. Both are great games if you are into demolition derby.

Really nice game. Gotta love Ocean Drive, especially the default version. Thanks for uploading that!

this was the very first game I played on the PS1, this brings back memories.

I swear after seeing this game again, I use to get so pissed off when I lost the race. Ah, the sweet memories of this game never got old.

man I loved this game as a kid, still love it now

Ah Summer of '96 playing this for hours listening to 'Load' by Metallica, 'Roots' by Sepultura and 'Undisputed Attitude' by Slayer.

that playstation intro never gets old

This Game still gives me a good time :) A lil tip: At the Destruction Derby use at the Start your back. Then you have still your Front to make Points.

I wish the music was still like this in racing games .

Probably my favourite game soundtrack after Ridge Racer Type 4. Happy memories!

Loved this game and use to play it all the time back in the day! The trick on 'The Bowl' is once your car starts smoking, drive in reverse, your car will never die!

I still remember this game from my childhood :)

brings back so much nostalgia when I hear watch them barriers they will only slow you down he won't forget that in a hurry get outta my way ;in a Brummie accent

those racing skills are unmatched

So much good Drum n Bass music

Destruction Derby was one of my first games I bought for my Psx back in 1995 and I loved it. Ahh good old times I missed it.

Hearing the intros when firing up the PS1 on a cool summer evening is heaven.

i acctully bought it on the playstation store and i still play it to this day. the first time i played it was when i was one now am 15

I recently finished the game myself. I played Stock Car Mode, because I'm more the guy for a race to first place. I would be lying though if I said it was easy, because it wasn't. The AI are extremely aggressive, especially the guys in your own division receive a boost, and drivers from other divisions deliberately try to stop you from winning, making overtaking a pain. And don't get me started on the obsolete physics of this game. I only won because me and The Skum destroyed both of our cars on the final lap, but because I was second place when Psycho crossed the line and Skum was 6th, I still won the championship. Overall, a very difficult game, so I have massive respect for people that win in Wrecking Racing, because spinning out opponents without spinning yourself is nigh impossible. On the other hand though, it's a very fun game with an awesome soundtrack, and I always love coming back to this here video. By the way, I also chose the blue car, because it looks the best, especially with the black roof in Division 1. ❤

Born 1989. Top 10 ps1 games to play by myself in my room in 1999 lol along with smackdown, MegamanX5 and Tony hawks proskater

Only real OGs know.

Destruction Derby 1995 is one of the games i owned now on PS3.

So much fun back in the days man...

Thanks for posting! Interesting to see on how much I was missing out in terms of gameplay features by playing the MS-DOS port back in the day. Choppy framerate, less track detail, only 16 cars on the grid, car damage not as detailed etc...

We all need a remasterd version of this Masterpiece :)

I remember playing this game with my first and only PS1, and still works like the first day hehe.

Remember my dad and I buying this from HMV back in the day! Many glorious hours spent wrecking the over cars trying to get 360 turns! The good old days!

My grandfather and I would play Destruction Derby, and it was his favorite game because he’d always destroy me. I got mad one day and powered it off. He convinced me to turn it back on, and while choosing our player names he asked me to put “Winner” as his player name…I purposely misspelled it to “Wiener”. We laughed for what seemed like an eternity… and he went back to beating me. What I’d give to have those times back.

"Waaaw what a race"

This hits right in my childhood

Clearly so much fun in the gameplay, so fast and frantic, with such amazing sound effects and songs. Games like wreckfest will never understand what made games like this great.. DD is just such relentless fun, with barely any downtime! Other similar games have huge periods of boring uneventful driving.. DD has none of that. Long live the king

Destruction Derby 1 and 2 are by far the best games in the series.

we had a great childhood, guys...

“Stay outta my way!” -The Skum/The Bouncer

love that menu soundtrack, great memories

Man I fucking loved this game as a kid

The Undertaker is Martin Edmondson, one of the lead designers and the man behind the Driver games.

Jesus the memories the music. The race at 26:00 something minute mark, tht song stuck with me for years. I just couldn't figure out which race game had it 😂😌

That damn Learner driver is so slow but gets a lot of points

Questi giochi erano davvero belli. Sono passati 20 anni. Come vola il tempo...

You've blown your radiator!!

First playstation game I played in 1995 I was 15 and just got it in December 95

In the arena race, drive in reverse to prolong engine life

those trucks are pretty radical

That's my childhood right there! "The Bowl" @ 22:15 yesssssss lol

That second track reminds me of my morning commute

amazing souvenir

loved that game, got it on PC-CD

Nice video. The AI was pretty good in this game, a lot of the drivers had their strengths and weaknesses but the results didn't always end up the same so some of the strong drivers could sometimes be relegated in the weak divisions. In DD2, it was much less interesting because what the other drivers did on the tracks didn't really seem to matter, some of the opponents were throwing themselves in the big hole at the start in the death bowl and were magically earning 200 + pts each time, haha.

I had this game it was great to see it again. Its a wonder they never made a ps3 or ps4 version maybe a ps5 version will surfice Peace ✌️ out people

1:05 This music appears in a demo for the game I saw in a Playstation demo disc.

Hahahaha, wow this brings back memories. Used to play this on PC

stay outta my way/begginers luck wimp!/watch those barriers,they will only slow ya down/eat dust/oh no your cars wrecked/yeahhhh woohoo! I LOVE ALL THE COMMENTS AND THE MUSIC TO THIS GAME IS EPIC.

*GG! YOU WON!*

Got my name in the credits 👍

I never understood why they only let you play as the 3 cars. So many other good looking skins.

Absolute classic

This looks like a fun game!

31:27 Smacked her through that barrier XD

I could never figure out what the saying were when you hit other cars. It sounds like someone says "an animal mom".

still have my day one copy....still on my favorites. !DAMAGE!

Could never play this game when I had it for PC. 1 MB graphics card :(

Everything thing about this game is ace if that music and the announce was in wreckfest it would make it even more better hell even add the cars and tracks which they mod on the pc and This game is awesome link up with the hidden track and all so when you play championship there are track you get to play which you can't when just doing single races

1:08:40 please wait.... Computer statisticly computing winner 😁😁

Watch those barriers, they’ll only slow ya down!

I love destruction The gamse ever I love this song

Coming soon to a HD TV near you. Edit: in 50 hz :(

ci giocavo 20 anni fa......quanto tempo passato insieme

Wow, that would make a complete replay! 😂

whats the name of that company @0:27??? i remember that logo from other games, but i can't make it out... psyknosis? edit: oh that was it, they made lemmings :D Psygnosis

Is there a way of playing this if you have a PS3 or PS4?

1:12:25 Crunch bunch 😆😆 i love the characters in this game

Watch those barriers they'll only slow you down

Timeless 3D graphics

My Childhood

God they knew what they were doing back then.

44:59 Oh No your second place 🤣🤣🤣🤣

360! Spinning in your face

the logo of this game it's the same one from DareDevil 25:17 by the way, is that Thom Yorke? lol

Obviously DD2 had much better graphics, but it didn't have the same appeal that this original game had. To me, the fun part of DD was the intimacy of the tracks. You couldn't help but trade paint almost constantly, whereas in the sequel, you could get out ahead of the pack early in the first lap and never see another car for the rest of the race. At that point, it just became a regular racing game. I feel like that has been a long-standing problem with most demo derby games, although Wreckfest has got the feel down better than most, it also still feels more like a traditional racer with destruction elements than it does a demo-focused game.

Ever since I got this game I swear the dude always said "bad place", not "third place" lol

Classic video game sounds....and very loud.

Ha. I had this one on PC...

Can someone please quote the announcers for me? No idea wtf they're saying...

music at 35:00 ?

"OH NO, YOUR CARS WRECKED!"

If not for this, we wouldn't have gotten the much acclaimed Burnout series. Burnout 3 Takedown, I consider to be the best video game of all time, not just in racing.

I had this game woo hoo
