Looking for a demo of DESTRUCTION DERBY. I hear theres one here
somewhere in the net. Also, is there any reviews of this anywhere? I just
want to know what its like. I saw the comercial for the playstation one,
and thought "COOL! I gotta see this!"

thanks

I have DD, and I think it's very cool! The game plays music while
you're racing instead of engine sounds, but the damage is realistic
and the figure 8 is great! You can also have several people race in
"hot seat" style on the same computer, taking turns running the
complete race which is usually 16 laps, if I remember correctly. It's
my favorite of the racing sims, half my friends who come over to play
the other games like ICR or World Circuit want to smash up the cars
anyway!

Look in the January issue of PC Gamer. There is a demo of it on the
CD.

I just grabbed the demo from wuarchive.wustle.edu from (I think)
pub/msdos/uploads/games or something like that. The file was dderby.zip

It gives you a whopping 60 seconds to drive around.

That's OK; the full game on the Playstation lasts barely longer than 60
seconds (if you ignore the CD-ROM load times :-().

On the other hand, "total destruction" mode is a blast. I haven't laughed
so hard during a game in a *LONG* time...

Not too mention the fact that the Destruction Derby demo only allows
you to play for 60 seconds... I'm not impressed with PC Gamer. It's
mostly adds, many pages are filled with things that I can't tell whether
they are an add or an article, and their objectivitly is suspect (ie. if
it's a bad game will they say it is or do they hype it anyways?). Even
the demos on the CD aren't that great. Most of the demos are fairly
limited, many are games that can't run on my system (whther it needs a
faster computer, or windows 95) and there aren't that many demos
(expecially compared to Computer Gameing World).
I would much rather spend my money on a CD version of COmputer Gameing
World. Where I KNOW the writers are giving honest reviews, and the CD
comes packed with demos. I've still haven't gone through all of the demos
in their November issue yet..
