WipeOut best times

[khan]

Hi there (been a while since my last post) I was playing Wipeout and trying to beat my own best times when I had an idea. I don´t know how much fans of this game are around here, but I might as well try or simply share this little piece of saturn gaming with you

The idea is simple: Post your WipeOut Championship´s Races Best Times here in this post. You can/should post images of the original screen and also write down the first 3 of each circuit.

I´ll go first

For the account the names in the scores are those of the pilots I was racing with

Lol, I never noticed that before

Glad to see some people interested in the post, I´m curious to compare race times ^-^

I'd spent long enough honing my skills on the original WipEout to the point where I could place first on Silverstream in Rapier mode every single time, but I've been unable to recreate my earlier lap records following a glitch that caused my entire Backup Memory to be cleared. Also, it doesn't help that I now prefer the sequel and play that more these days...

Ach, my times are a good 10-20 seconds worse than all those :-(

I adore this game and I'm going to sit and spam each track until I beat you now.

Please tell me if you can...

How do the "up" and "down" controls work exactly... I hear you're meant to "pull up" if you're going up a hill, to try to keep the nose level with the track. Do you use this? If so, could you provide details on how and when you use it? Eg, am I meant to be pushing the nose down if I'm airborne after a ramp? It's hard to tell what effect it's having, if any.

Sounds like I need to get "on" my butt and best those times i used to make when i was 15 ;D Ive made weekends out of TTing in WipEout. So this should be interesting.

[calmdownmonkey]

Haha, aye, I had the same thought - I played this to death throughout my Primary School days, and will probably struggle to ever match those records now.

It's worth noting the times in the original post are for actual races as opposed to TTs, so you'll have to do it in that mode to compete with this guy - just need to get into 1st place quickly without eating a rocket and you're home free!
