I have DD64 and let me tell you, my Dad and I had so many amazing memories of playing it together. I still have "ghost" races saved from when we played together, which is awesome because he passed away back in 2015 but I have some cool leftover demo reels of us together playing. Deff one of my all-time faves. The simplicity makes it worthwhile. Sometimes "keeping it simple, stupid" really is all you need in a video game.

This seems quite a bit different than Destruction Derby for the Playstation, or maybe I played it wrong? You got points for winning the races but you could be damaged or destroyed, and then during each circuit I believe it also included the more traditional bowl/arena demolition derbies.

It's such a wild artifact of its time that the announcer says "Can't we all just get along?" (For those who weren't around then - this is a reference to a speech made on TV by Rodney King in 1992 with the idea of calming down the riots happening in Los Angeles at the time in his name. The riots started because when he was arrested for drunk driving the police offers really severely and excessively beat him, arguably influenced by the fact that he was Black, it was caught on video, and then they were acquitted. King was not a well man, and he was brain damaged from the beating, plus he wasn't a public figure or anything, so his speech to try to stop the riots came across as mumbled, out of touch and unrealistically and inappropriately good-natured for the situation, so it became a joke - paraphrased as "Can't we all just get along?" and was widely used on TV and by people in general for years. It's the kind of joke that would absolutely not fly today, but it was a different time. And here it is immortalized in a 90s video game about car crashes.)
@davidt35634 ай бұрын
I was starting 7th grade during the riots. I remember a few years later hearing they even sodomized him with their batons. The fact that those officers got off without life in prison was/is a travesty of justice.

I'm sure a million people have probably already mentioned this, but in real demolition derby the guys tend to back into each other so they hit them with the back of the car and don't blow the front end out with the engine in the steering right away. After the back of the car gets destroyed then they can start it guys with the front of their car because they'll tend to have like a Lincoln Town car or a Cadillac from the same time period. I don't know how realistic the game was, but I wonder if you were backing into people, if you would have lasted longer in those earlier matches. You were going dead nuts had to head game of Chicken in the early races lol
