I refuse to believe that the Japanese cover for Wip3out -wasn't- a HEAVY influence on the cover art of this tune... and I love it 😂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOYE...

Rollcage Promotional Document Wallet. Beautifully printed though with a slightly metallic shine! Super happy to have this! A simple fold-in-half document wallet that likely would have held press release info for Rollcage! It also has a bit on the inner flap for a business card.

Apparently it's #FursuitFriday again and I actually have another photo to throw out for it! Tazon and his TRX ready to roll 😛 📷: @rutanqilin.bsky.social 🧵: @paciulofursuits.bsky.social

EDGE Magazine from June 1999, Cover 2 variant. EDGE have a way with presentation when it comes to their magazines, and there's no doubting this feels equally premium with the Designers Republic tapping in. There are a couple of cover versions of this magazine and a slip sleeve.

Oh hey, didn't see you there! You gonna be at the SotonFurs party this weekend? #FursuitFriday 📷: Mart (TarnStoat)

Unusual one! WipEout 3 Laptop bag. I wish I knew if this was genuine or if it's a knockoff. It feels new, with crisp fabric and a 3D logo that pops really nicely! I can't find any other examples. The bag being made by "Leeds" didn't give me any "leads" sadly... 😅

Wipeout 2097 Rental Version. A standard edition of the game aside from the black disc marking it as a rental and the more durable box with instructions on the back. This copy is in a standard black rental box as opposed to the other one I have in a blue Blockbuster branded one!

Joypad Magazine Issue 87 - June 1999. This French magazine is a fairly substantial feeling one, but despite it's front cover, there's only a few of those pages dedicated to Wip3out! More than plenty of screenshots to show off the game though!

One More Win. This is a beautifully made little fanzine dedicated to Ridge Racer Type 4. Hands down my favourite Ridge Racer title by a mile and this little zine serves it fantastically, pacled full of info. Two big thumbs up from me @ultrabrilliant.xyz , top work!!

Update... I spent way too long doing it, but the Psygnosis Owl is now in Liverpool the other side of the river to Studio Liverpool 😂

Whoever you are, wherever you are, I appreciate you adding this to Liverpool ❤️ wplace.live//

Wip3out Review Copy, dated 26/07/1999. This disc would have been handed out to reviewers and Magazines on the run up to release day. It would appear that these white labelled review copy discs are fairly uncommon on the whole, so very glad to have this one for Wip3out!!

WipEout 2097 Demo for Sega Saturn. Originally included with the Saturn Power magazine from October 1997. This disc looks very similar to another Saturn 2097 demo, but this one includes the Magazine logo on the left and the code on it is "670-1199-50" instead of "560-0002-50".

Gamers Republic Magazine Vol.2, No.6, dated November 1999. Quite like the cover on this one with thhe top down view on the ships racing past. This mag contains a pretty solid coverage of the game too, with an interview from DJ Sasha about the music!

These are tiny promo pin badges for WipEout XL! I don't know the history on where these would have been made available originally, but I'd guess the likes of an E3 conference or similar circa 1996! One of those things I never thought I'd ever get my hands on... but here we are!

UK users when the website asks them where they're posting from today.

Was lucky enough to be able to do Goodwood Festival of Speed recently... Absolutely phenomenal day being able to see and hear dream machines from my childhood and I'm very very happy I was able to capture shots like these from the day!!

Realisation that I never actually posted this here 😅 Doesn't look like much, especially with so identfying marks, but this is a test pressing of Pizza Hotline and Mitch Murder's "Anti Gravity Tournament" album. Glad I bagged one of these alongside the main release :3

WipEout Pulse T-Shirt, taken from the Pulse Press kit. Never thought I'd come across one of these separated from the rest of the press kit it's originally included with, but here we are!

Pop up record sale/fair thing local to me was on today... And I actually remembered to swing by! Picked up some good DnB tunes! :D

WipEout: The Music Promo CD. Standard retail release of this one in all except a small sticker affixed to the back that indicates it as a promotional copy! (2097.uk will see updates with multiple new items at a time and there's a handy "What's New" page 😉 )

Crash Bandicoot 3 strategy guide for the Japanese market. I don't think I'll ever fully get over the depictions of Crash that Japan got in comparison to here in the UK 😅 That said, this thing is a visual overload, with vibrant graphics and a ton of renders all over the place!

CD Consoles Magazine Issue #55, a French magazine from September 1999. This one contains some real treats for the eyes! The first being the striking red cover, that opens up to a double page spread of the Wip3out logo! A much lesser seen equaliser advert makes an appearance too!

Here's something a bit special that I feel proud to be the keeper of. A US region early 1999 (I believe) Psygnosis press information pack. A simple fold out wallet decorated as seen containing a number of A4 sheets of info on upcoming releases, including Wip3out, of course!

Bulgarian bootleg cassette tape of the WipEout 2097 soundtrack. Been trying to track down a copy of this for ages... Finally got one!

Here's a bizarre looking double page spread magazine advert for Crash Bandicoot. Honestly, I haven't got many words for this, from the random man on the toilet, to the plastic looking Crash model, to the pink poop shaped text bubble... It sure is something!

Saw this shop display card for WipEout Pure in a retro game shop today... Couldn't convince them to part with it sadly as determined by the "I'll keep that one till I die" 😅 Cool to see it out in the wild nonetheless!

I've been working on this model a few months ago, and finally got it done #VibRibbon #Vibri

PlayStation "Blown Away" promotional VHS. But of an impulse grab honestly, but it was cool as far as I'm concerned, so here it is! 😅

WipEout XL Soundtrack Astralwerks Promo CD. It's certainly showing its age, with some pen marks on the front, but the disc is still in reasonable condition. I've been looking for an example of this one for quite some time, so I'm really pleased to finally have one!

Here's a Crash Bandicoot 3 promotional postcard from Japan. I sadly know very little about this honestly and where it would have originally been found, but it's interesting!

"I was just wondering if you wanted to HANG OUT with me and smoke weed and fill our bellies with DIET SODA and play Burnout Revenge™ for the PS Twooooo" #FursuitFriday (I don't care that it's an overplayed reference, it still makes me laugh every time I see/hear it 😂)

Crash Team Racing PS1 demo disc for the Japanese market. Wish I knew the origins of where this would have been found/come from given the "Not for resale" label on the back. I'll have to spin this one up at some point and see what it's like and how much game you get for the demo!

Posted this a couple of days ago, but it deserves its own post. This is the v1.1 of Wipeout on PC that would have been bundled with ATi Rage graphics cards. I have one of these cards with the V1.0 disc already however this version includes Assault Rigs on the same disc as well!

Rollcage Stage II promo soundtrack CD. As far as game soundtracks go, Rollcage is wayyy up there with the best as far as I'm concerned... But when you've got Moving Shadow behind it, what do you expect 😛

I have successfully built a bike :3 She passed the MOT on Friday, and I've sorted the running issues today as well. ...only to discover on a shakedown run this evening that the charging system isn't working, so it was a race against the sun to get home without a headlight on 😂

Got approached about doing a lil thing, so sharing it for extra visibility!

Wipeout 64 (for the US market), but tidily presented in a "BitBox" case with a nicely re-formatted insert!

New Tazon art get! ❤️ Absolutely adore this piece and how it turned out! 🎨: @kiminukii.bsky.social

Can't complain at that little car boot run this morning! One ATI Rage edition of Wipeout on PC, and a copy of Lemmings for Spectrum (of all things!) Genuinely haven't seen anything WipEout at the boot sale in forever, so that was a nice lil treat!

Here's a sealed retail Austrian region release for Wipeout Omega Collection. Identified by the sticker on the front and the language in general! Those who have had a dig through 2097.uk will have possibly already seen this one! Excuse me while I catch up on here!

Reposting the Wipeout collection website because, honestly, I'm kinda proud of it and it took me such a large chunk of time to put together 😅 2097.uk

Fuck it, if I don't get this out there now I might never 😂 2097.uk I'm no website builder, but consider this a small corner of the web host to a half reasonably sized Wipeout curation away from social media platforms! Enjoy! (Or don't, theres no obligation 😛)

Here's a bit of an unusual one! A Japanese little Wipeout 2097/XL advert card... thing... I don't know where this would have originally been found, though it's interesting in that it's got 2097 imagery, but the Japanese market received the game as XL as mentioned on the reverse!

Stealth UMD movie with included Wipeout Pure demo for the Japanese market. Not much more to say on ths one, just that it's the NTSC-J version of this release, featuring different cover art (both for the movie and Pure) to the UK or US versions as a result!

Yo, I just realized, I can actually take part in the whole #FursuitFriday thing now! Hecc yeah! 📷: @seventhvoid.bsky.social 📍: SotonFurs

Here's a Region 6 / Chinese Promotional copy of Wipeout Omega Collection that's still all sealed up. I have no idea what changes were made, if any, for this Chinese release, but it's super cool to have found a promotional / not for resale copy!

He's a realy vibrant treat for the eyeballs... A fairly large promotional wallet and two booklets for Crash Bandicoot themed arcade machines by "Sammy". Honestly, this is the first I've heard or seen of such machines, and I'm sure there's a few examples out there somewhere!

Yo, I'm a freakin' doggo for real now! ❤️ Those that know me know I've wanted to bring Tazon to life for... a long ass time. Well, he's here. He's finally here! I'm near speechless with joy at how he's turned out and been brought to life by @paciulofursuits.bsky.social ! So. Damn. Happy. ❤️

Mean Machines Sega Magazine Issue No.42 dated April 1996. I refuse to believe that placing a drugs helpline advert opposite the full page Wipeout feature image was a coincidence... 😂 Still, a lovely visual treat over a couple of pages, and an overview of Wipeout on Saturn!
