Play Station

Here is my Play Station driving station. I bought the Logitec PS2 wheel a long time ago with my Blue transparent playstation 2 (Skeleton) .

I used to play GT4 and Battle gear all the time, so this setup was ideal.

I designed it to slide up to my couch. I would sit down. then pull the table towards me therefore creating a cockpit.

Made from MDF, the table height and pedal positions were fully adjustable with wing nuts. And I had a place for all those JDM stickers.

It's now gone to the jusnk yard, but it was fun for ages. These days 32" screen is rediculously small.

Wipeout for Playstations

I remember the first version of Wipeout for the original sony Play Station. It made me pay a lot of money for one. The speed in those days was truely amazing.

Then I played 2097 forever. I watched this intro about 10000 times, I never fast forwarded it. Turn it up!

All credit must be given to the game designers. A simple 3d wireframe allowed the surrounding graphics to be enhanced. The tracks were all the same graphically so frames per second could increase. The Result. One of the most epilesy inducing racing computer games of all time.

Drive fast and power slide everywhere, get massive air time and ludicrous speeds, blow things up and win. All this to amazing aggressive techno soundtracks like Prodigy's firestarter.

Often copied and never bettered. I am yet to get the latest in full , but the demo seems great.

The design of the 3D worlds concept and graphics all come together to make something great.
