Impact Racing
PlayStation · 1996
About this game
With disregard for a background story, Funcom Dublin offers a Wipeout -esque mix of racing and driving at a very fast pace.
Completing laps within the allotted time does not suffice, you also need to destroy a certain amount of vehicles.

Contrary to the aforementioned title, you drive ordinary racing cars, if you count out the mounted weapons.
These include mines, concussion missiles, smart bombs, heat-seeking missiles, lasers and firewalls.
Some are provided by taking out enemies, but power-ups, time bonuses, energy, armor and a handicap that turns the screen upside-down, can also be collected.
Five cars are available, with different statistics and built-in weapons.
The initially weak weapon is soon replaced when you collect upgrade icons.
To activate these, you have to complete a bonus stage after which you can also save your game.
To add to the game's length, each of the twelve tracks, based on the settings "city", "mountain" or "space", has three variations: reverse, at night or the combination of the two.
Other features include a small diagram showing approaching cars to time your mines, and pumping electronic tracks to match the game's pace.
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks Impact Racing for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Impact Racing to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS1 release dates back to 1996.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Impact Racing, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
