3D Acceleration Comparison Ep9: Destruction Derby - S3 Virge/Software

Destruction Derby developed by Reflections in 1995. The S3 Virge version was an exclusive OEM bundle with the Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 card released in 1996 and was never released in any other way as Diamond had an exclusive deal with Psygnosis, the publisher. Music in the video is from the CD audio track.

The S3 Virge version is a Windows port of the game while the normal retail version is MS-DOS native. Beside boosting resolution and have some simple texture filtering on the cars you also have more damageable impact points (10 vs 6 in MS-DOS) in the S3 version.

If you own a copy of the S3 version of the game I have released a patch that makes the game playable on any S3 Virge card:
