About this game
Demolition Racer is a racing game with a twist.
Rather than a game that just requires you to try and win the race, this game gives you points to destroy the other racers' cars.

The game has many styles of game play so you don't have to play the same style each game.
There are 5 game styles in the Single Race section of the game.
This section does not count towards unlocking cars or tracks.
It is for practice and just plain fun.
The main style is Demolition.
In Demolition, you race against other cars around the track and get points for hitting them, spinning them in circles and knocking them into the wall.
You also get a big bonus for landing on top of a car which will immediately destroy the car.
When you finish the race, your final position is found by multiplying the points you got from hitting the other cars with the points that you got for the position you finished in.
So if you finish first, but never hit anyone, you won't win the race.
The next style is The Chase.
This style is your normal race game.
You can still take damage and so can the other cars, but you are only trying to win the race.
You don't get any points for hitting the other cars.
Chicken is another style.
It is the same as The Chase except that you drive in the opposite direction as everyone else.
This can slow you down when you run into the cars coming around from the other direction.
The next 2 game styles aren't done on race tracks.
They are done in an arena.
This is a circle area which may have hills in it where you just try to destroy cars.
The first of these is Last Man Standing.
In this style, you try to destroy every car without being destroyed yourself.
You can still win if you aren't the last car by making a lot of points by hitting other cars.
The scoring is calculated the same as the Demolition style.
The final Single Race style is Suicide.
In this style, you try to destroy yourself before any others are destroyed.
You don't get any points for hitting other cars in this style.
About Sega Dreamcast
Sega's final console, the Dreamcast (1998/1999), was ahead of its time with built-in internet connectivity and an influential library, but a short commercial lifespan cut its game catalog short. That abrupt end means Dreamcast print runs were smaller across the board than a longer-lived console would have had, and it's now one of the more actively collected fifth/sixth-generation systems specifically because of that scarcity.
Gamevaro tracks Demolition Racer for Sega Dreamcast 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 Demolition Racer 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 DC release dates back to 1999.

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.
