Rev your engines and load up your missiles—it's time for vehicular mayhem! In the fifth full episode of Cartridge Chronicles, Jeff and PJ dive headfirst into the explosive world of Twisted Metal, the iconic car-combat classic released in 1995 for the original PlayStation. From darkly humorous origins (thanks to traffic-jam frustrations) to its lasting impact as a pioneering 3D action game, we explore the twisted genius behind Calypso's chaotic contest.
Join us as we reminisce about sleepless nights fueled by multiplayer madness, debate the best characters (Sweet Tooth fans, represent!), and uncover surprising connections—including developer SingleTrac’s origins in military flight simulators. Plus, hear about the lost video endings deemed too extreme for release and the unexpected local ties to Salt Lake City.
Buckle up for nostalgia, laughs, and the ruthless battle for Calypso’s prize—this episode is one wild ride you won't want to miss!
