Here's another one from me. Wipeout was an ultra cool game. This is from 1995 and is still in fantastic condition, box and game inside are barely touched (how do you add multiple pics on here?). Wipeout featured a fantastic soundtrack featuring Orbital, Chemical Brothers and Leftfield amongst others. It was probably one of the earliest games to show what the PS1 was really capable off and blew away anything the competition had.
Is this true for only the US version? I'm in the UK and I very specifically remember playing the game CD on a stereo. However looking back on it, it was not the black label release.
Haha same, especially with 2097. But yeah even the euro version lacks licensed music, which wasn't a thing yet in 1995.
Having checked the Wikipedia page for Wiepout, the Euro version featured a track each from Leftfield, Chemical Brothers and Orbital. I didnt know The Prodigy were approached to provide an original song, but apparently it never happened. Looking back, it is probably my earliest memory of licensed music being used in a game. I became a big fan of Chem Bros and Leftfield because of Wipeout. Orbital not so much. It wasn't until Gran Tursimo 1 when I again remember a licensed soundtrack being used so well and heavily.
Wow I completely forgot, you're right. I must atone and give it another spin.
