PSX Longplay [150] Driver

I was stuck in that garage scene my entire childhood.

After 21 years, I’ve finally completed the tutorial

I feel bad for everyone who couldn’t pass the first training mission lol. Such a great game

Summer of 1999... I was 12. My brother told me about this game. My mom took me to our local Kmart and I bought this new for $39.99 with my birthday money. I came home, showed my brother and he was pumped. He did the parking garage trial for me but I spent hours, upon hours, upon hours just cruising around and exploring the cities. Seeing the polygonal gameplay and hearing those tires screech really enables me to embrace the nostalgia of sitting in that basement recliner, sun beating on the sliding glass door, wired ps1 wishbone controller in my hands and pushing that car to its open world limits on that 32" projection TV. I sometimes even played this with the madcatz steering wheel (with the pedals) that suction-cupped to our flimsy wooden plant table, though the suction always gave way after a couple hard turns lol. I remember how solid that ps1 steering wheel felt. I can even remember the feeling of those thin springy car pedals at my barefeet... Amazing times. 90s were incredible.

I used to play this game obsessively through '99 and '00. I was so crazy about the game I volunteered to beat the tutorial level for anyone that couldn't beat it. I'd just take their memory card for the night and bring it back the next day. I just wanted people to enjoy the game I loved so much. I'd easily put Driver in my personal top five for games that were the most monumental/memorable in my personal gaming history.

''WOW! Those amazing graphics!'' -Me, 2000.

The music, climate, chasing and getaways... Simply beautiful. They don't makes games like Driver anymore.

Back when having fun is more important than graphics!

Before GTA this is what everybody was playing!!!

I`m soo glad I wasn`t the only one stuck on the very first garage mission.

Man I remember playing this late at night with volume on low trying not to wake mom up as it was during the school week 😄

Bro, i'm just laying here with my eyes closed reliving every second of my childhood.

I salute all the 90's kids who got to witness this game (& many others) at the time, and all the people who got stuck on the first level for years...& I know cause I was of them 😂....we're probably the same kids who locked the butler in the freezer on tomb raider 😂😂😂

These physics seem like they were way ahead of their time. Great game.

Ahh, 70s jive talk, speeding around corners and hubcaps flying off, the police chases. This is just my childhood all over again, I miss these days 😥

This game had some serious style.

For the 90's, this game was AMAZING.

I remember when we all used to think these graphics were groundbreaking, now I feel old as fuck just remembering these days

Ah the summer of 99 as a 14 year old playing this. Such great times now I'm just 4 years from being 40. Where does time go?

I’m so glad that we are alive during time where we can watch all of our favourite childhood memories in the palm of our hands
