11 Video Games You Won't Believe Are Almost 20 Years Old

8. Destruction Derby

Back before a racing game's appeal was routed in a range of perfectly-rendered exhaust nozzles, we were all having a whale of a time bashing the axles off each other in this titanic franchise. Created by Reflections Interactive, the same guys that would then go on to make Driver before being snapped up by Ubisoft to help on things like Watch Dogs, they initially showed what they could do in the year that vehicular combat kicked into overdrive. With at-the-time amazingly weighty physics and damage models that flaked off paint and parts of the car in all directions whenever collisions occurred, even though now you can look back and see they're just giant polygons going flying, at the time it was amazing and paved the way for far more realistic titles down the line.
