Twisted Metal is a 1995 vehicular combat video game developed by Sony Interactive Studios America and SingleTrac, and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation. The game’s plot is centered on the titular competition in which various drivers in modified vehicles must destroy the other vehicles in an attempt to be the last one alive. The winner meets the organizer of the competition, a mysterious man named Calypso, who will grant the winner a single wish, regardless of price, size or even reality. A commercial success, it was followed up by a sequel, Twisted Metal 2 (1996), as part of the Twisted Metal series.

Twisted Metal is a vehicular combat game in which the player takes control of one of twelve unique vehicles. While in control of a vehicle, the player can accelerate, steer, brake, reverse, activate the turbo, turn tightly, toggle between and activate weapons using the game controller’s d-pad and buttons. The game can be played in either the one-player mode (in which the game’s story takes place) or the Duel Mode (in which two human players can select a battleground on which to compete in). In the one-player mode, the player must progress through six combat arenas of progressively increasing size and featuring progressively more opponents. To clear a level, the player must destroy all of the enemy vehicles in that level. The game lasts until all of the player’s lives have expired or until all six levels have been cleared.
