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.
Back when I was very little, I watched my family kick a crap ton of asses in this game. The soundtrack was godlike, and the sound design, especially the crashes. Whenever you rammed another racer, or if it happened to you, you will have felt it right through your TV.
You can even load up the PS1 BIOS by turning the system on with no disc, then after selecting CD Player and pushing the O Button, placing the disc in and letting it read. You will then be able to use the Destruction Derby game as a music CD! 😁
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
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.
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.
have to remember this come out in 1995. was pretty much a few years after the rave scene had peaked but jungle music was at it's height in 1994/95. Had a massive influence on game soundstracks
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!
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
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.
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!
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
Nobody asked me but I think comparing this to Wreckfest is a bit of apples and oranges. Wreckfest is satisfying for different reasons, being the insane body deformations and more realistic physics. This game shot for high octane, never a dull moment arcade gameplay, and simpler yet satisfying impacts.
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. ❤
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.
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.
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...
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 😂😌
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.
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
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.
+Randy Dubin That is so wrong. The only way i can imagine to make thinking that is either to have never played the game or to have never played the sequels. Those sequels were suffering of the same problems as modern days games. Great graphics and sound, throw the gameplay and fun out the window. i am one of the dumb people full of hopes who purchased one of the sequels. i was so sad when i realised that i should have kept my money.
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
"GO!" "It's the final lap!" Positions: "Third Place." "Second Place." "Nice Moves!" Crashes: "YEAH!" "WOW!" "WHOA-HO!" "Wow, that'll make a great replay!" "He won't forget that in a hurry." "Wow, what a race!" "Wow, what a crash!" "Watch those barriers... they'll only slow you down!" Damage: "You've blown your radiator!" "Your car's about finished. Take it easy!" "Oh no! Your car's wrecked!"

I remember if you put the the game disc in a CD player it would play the music from the game
Yep, a lot of PS1 and early Pc games did that. ;)
@@thetimelapsesketchbook.9088 So did Sega Saturn games.
@@jeffv20 Sega games typically had better music than whatever was on PS in my opinion.
Good freakin times.

Wreckfest its a racing game similar to this.
its games like this one that made the psx so huge back in the days
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
Nostalgia just punched me in the face...and I love it
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!
The PS2 is listed as not being able to play any of the three Destruction Derby games. Is this not true?
First ever Playstation game i played. Nearly 20 years ago...
played for hours and Loaded :D
me either
ne as well. oh simpler times
My first ever 3D game.
@@ashyhusky4130 have u beaten Destruction derby 1995?
I used to love seeing '360!' come up on the screen.
The music, characters, anouncer, and sound effects are AWESOME in this game! Control and tracks not so much lol
this was the very first game I played on the PS1, this brings back memories.
+wassup9801453 what ?
we had a great childhood, guys...

man I loved this game as a kid, still love it now
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.
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.
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.
Really nice game. Gotta love Ocean Drive, especially the default version. Thanks for uploading that!
Probably my favourite game soundtrack after Ridge Racer Type 4. Happy memories!
I wish the music was still like this in racing games .
It really hyped you up😂
@@joshoprayy it sure did 🤣🤣

@@gr1mr3apa15 very true 👍
Hearing the intros when firing up the PS1 on a cool summer evening is heaven.
I still remember this game from my childhood :)
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!
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.
that playstation intro never gets old
those racing skills are unmatched
brings back so much nostalgia when I hear
watch them barriers they will only slow you down

We all need a remasterd version of this Masterpiece :)
Wreckfest can be similar to this.
Yeah, same game but better quality and design to this day.
This hits right in my childhood

Ah Summer of '96 playing this for hours listening to 'Load' by Metallica, 'Roots' by Sepultura and 'Undisputed Attitude' by Slayer.
Destruction Derby 1995 is one of the games i owned now on PS3.
Only real OGs know.
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
Born 1989. Top 10 ps1 games to play by myself in my room in 1999 lol along with smackdown, MegamanX5 and Tony hawks proskater
I remember playing this game with my first and only PS1, and still works like the first day hehe.
So much good Drum n Bass music
"Waaaw what a race"

First playstation game I played in 1995 I was 15 and just got it in December 95
Same but I was just 11 at the time, best Xmas ever tbh :)
Me too. Same age.
Destruction Derby 1 and 2 are by far the best games in the series.
That damn Learner driver is so slow but gets a lot of points
That second track reminds me of my morning commute
love that menu soundtrack, great memories
Questi giochi erano davvero belli. Sono passati 20 anni. Come vola il tempo...

You forgot the pink car, every time you make her spin she screams. Almost sounds like Zoidberg from Futurama xD
Ya blown ya radiator!!
In the arena race, drive in reverse to prolong engine life
I never understood why they only let you play as the 3 cars. So many other good looking skins.
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...

You've blown your radiator!!
So many radiators..
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
Zac Dior ... Wreckfest...
Coming soon to a HD TV near you.
Edit: in 50 hz :(
Damn this game was so good back in the day I played this so fucking much glad my mom got this for me on Christmas
Hahahaha, wow this brings back memories. Used to play this on PC
Got my name in the credits 👍
Could never play this game when I had it for PC. 1 MB graphics card :(
31:27 Smacked her through that barrier XD
amazing souvenir
I could never figure out what the saying were when you hit other cars. It sounds like someone says "an animal mom".

This looks like a fun game!
