I played games like Destruction Derby (Sony's Psygnosis, think of Skidmarks in 3D) and Moto Racer.
PC's Moto Racer has a network multiplayer option while the PSX version has a split screen.
Ridge Racer up to 1,468,507 units sold in Japan and the United States.
Destruction Derby sold more than 1 million copies by August 1996.

Today that machine sits in the cupboard. My PlayStation 2 is on permanent loan to a friend. After playing all the Tomb Raider games I lost interest in it.
If someone could port the original Tomb Raider games to the Amiga I would play them all over again. Sadly I don't think that will happen in my lifetime, even though we now have Amigas powerful enough to do it easily (getting 3~5 fps out of the Vampire 600 in PC Task, which believe it or not is actually playable!).
