This was the best game for me as a kid. All I remember was starting out in the city and just continuing to drive straight and trying my best to jump the bridge lol
The police was absolutely ruthless in this game, BUT, after a while you did learn some tricks on how to maneuver through traffic (switch lanes just before the cop behind you reaches a car, etc) to quickly lose 'em. Still, GTA chaces didn't even come close to the intensity and difficulty level of those in Driver 1 / 2.
It was freaking windows 98, and we pressed all existing buttons on the keyboard but it never even start to move, I think we had to redefine control but I was 6 and I didn't even realize what the heck PC is, that's my story
I can't belive the stuff this game has that many games with cars don't even today. Hud caps that pop off from to hard of a turn, breakable signs some games are still static. A lot of games barely have car damage. This game shows a lot of car damage physics. It's amazing the amount of work that gets put into games back then compared to now.
Specops Armageddon yeah I threw gran turismo in the garbage once I found out the cars don’t have steel rims using hub caps that fly off. Oh wait, no I didn’t?
First car game I ever played (born in 96) & still love it today. Our disc was corrupt though so we could only do the training & Take a Ride in San Fran & Miami after a while. buying a new one though! Inspired my interest in cars & still mad about them today. Loved all the damage features, the sounds of the car.. ah memories!
also born in 93 and I played it when it first came out. uncle had a Playstation and this was the first game I ever played on it. always had to have him or my mom beat the tutorial. after a couple years I could do it on my own once they told me hit x and o at the start and then when you stop square and triangle. right off the bat knock out 4.
PyramidHead138 haahahha yeah, i got so frustrated that i couldn't make it out of the first stage, but now i can do it pretty quick & it's a stage i enjoy... but the last stage? even using the full health cheat it was near impossible
One thing I liked was swerving through traffic in the hopes that the pursuing cops would hit into them, and then hearing the car "dying" (when the siren winds down).
Anyone else one of them late 90’s kids who we’re too young to understand this at the time, just put it on and played for hours, the nostalgia this brings is unreal. It looked like a different world back then, I remember that load screen and map like it was yesterday.. the graphics differences compared to kids on gta 5 these days is crazy... Born in 98’, this, vice city, spyro, mortal kombat and San Andreas were my childhood
Strange how a simple still image or a sound effect can instantly put you into a time machine and send you back 20 years. The last time I saw the opening credits and heard the sound FX of the crashes, I was having the raddest times with my best friend. FFWD to today, and he is no longer around. Man, this hit me way too hard.
Bought this as soon as it came out lol. I was underage but the guy sold it to me at the shop. I was so happy to get Driver on PS1. £39.99 and all saved just for this game. I have never been exited for a game as for Driver. Great memories and Driver 2 kept that alive.
I still got my PS1 and the copy of this game, 1998... I was 12 and I enjoyed this game too much, freeroaming through the city... Guess here was where my love to open world games started ❤️
I remember playing this when I was about 6, couldn't get out of the parking garage, dismissed every driver game since, became a beast at ridge racer though lol
remember i never owned a memory card the time i played this and i used to replay the first part of the game all the time, i was probably 5 - 6 years old, I'm 23 now
Music of the first mission still makes me shiver. What a majestic game. Awesome story, awesome free roaming mode, awesome music, and great graphics and gameplay. A masterpiece. Police chasing were so intense and had a lot of thrill. Spent countless hours on this game in those days. Who missed the late 90s missed the greatest era of videogames
Nostalgia at its finest. I remember my dad renting this from Blockbuster and us playing it all weekend. He never returned it cause we played it so much. I loved all these growing up
choo choo here comes the memorie train . loved this game did anyone elce play resident evul for ps1 now that does bring baxk memories ( and nightmares lol )
Really enjoyed this and the follow up: Back on the streets. After the second game they never made another that made you feel like a cartheif. Best part of Driver must have been Carnage.
This is pure nostalgie!! I played this game every night with my dad before I go to bed. Sometimes I just drove around and imagined how I will drive in the future when I get my license 😊 stopped at every stop sign and parked the car in a parking lot.... That was fun. The time flies. I played this game when I was maybe 9, this was for 16 years... It's so funny but sad at the same time. Thanks for sharing this video 😊
I have been searching for this game for years! I had a picture in my head how it lookede but I couldn't realize which game it was. Now I have finally found it, tears in my eyes.
There's too much emphasis on realistic graphics these days. But there's no substitute for good ol' game play though. This had it in bucket loads, although those cops could be a nightmare at times - especially later on in the game haha.
Yea i remember that game.. And the first Getaway released back in 2002.. I still got both of those game till this day in next to new condition, hoping they'll be worth a lot decades to come lol
Uno de mis juegos favoritos de PLAY Station.. Todos los de Driver, me la pasaba horas jugando estos juegos, al igual los de Tom Raider... De lo mejor de los Juegos
my very first console was the ps1 and driver was my first game, i loved the desert and i still love the game, even now in 2018, i was 6 when i first played it, now i am 24 i still looooove this game !!!!!
This was the very first game I've played on console at a friend's house. I remember going there every day with other friends, this game was so addicting lol. Oh man the memories!
That moment you want to hit those pedestrians ahaha but the game won't let that happened because they knew kids back then would play and love it like I do. Good all memories especially making movie replay. I spent alot of time making the best replay ahaha
PMSL was playing this just now on PS3 and thought the red line going through the car moves Burnout, Handbrake, 180 etc meant I had failed. Ioved this in the late 1990s. It was like owning your own car and driving round the spot where the ladies hang out and pretending not to see them while the CD player is blasting out Jurassic 5 and some Dr Dre and Snoops Nuttin but a G Thang. Kool...Imagine a Gangster from Belfast Ireland-rap music 1990s LoL

i remember being so young playing this game and not knowing what the fuck i was doing.
yep
hahaha and I was just trying riding in a proper way 😂
I was 15
GT6SuzukaTimeTrials I'd of been 9 or 10 depending on the month
Domonic Dupell we all did
Before grand theft auto, this game was it.
Quagmire FYI Grand theft auto was on Nintendo way before this
But GTA 1 had open world and came out in 1997
I'm looking to buy a ps2 and this game and other games, this.... This game was my favorite
EPIC FAIL
Снял с языка))
This was the best game for me as a kid. All I remember was starting out in the city and just continuing to drive straight and trying my best to jump the bridge lol
haha same i would always try my best too jump that bridge haha the memories!
Yooo me facts
Yay guys haha
Right!
ohhh the memories
There was a game after the parking garage?
Never got past it. 😄
i was not the only one
Fabisch Factor Same here
Damn
Thats a shame...it was an awesome game...i finished it about 10 times.
Fabisch Factor let's honest half us never got past that
I remember the graphics to this game were so damn good when I was younger. That car look so damn sweet!
What are your thoughts now?
@ExonNow
Looks worse than crap.
And the sound of the engine!!
I always thought of the Same thing when I look back. I used to think why ain't the gameplay graphics like this lol
@@shifty2755 still looks good tbh.
Police chases have never felt as aggressive and exciting in any Driver/GTA since this classic. Like playing through a 70's action movie
Brendan Mc yup
Gone in 60 seconds
The police was absolutely ruthless in this game, BUT, after a while you did learn some tricks on how to maneuver through traffic (switch lanes just before the cop behind you reaches a car, etc) to quickly lose 'em.

no matter how hard you tried driving over someone. They were always one step ahead of you.
That Guy My Guy 😂😂 lmao true
The final mission was Balls hard!!!
facts g
@@alkevinzmedia bro, I actually managed to hit one just this one time and I went through them
@@justyouraveragefluff2298 hey man ok ok ok! 😂
I never got passed the tutorial as a kid.
Did you ever get hired to drive to the grocery store?
As a kis it took a few tries then figured it out,it's pretty simple stuff
@@NuLORD66 try giving this game to a 3 year old and tell them that
It was freaking windows 98, and we pressed all existing buttons on the keyboard but it never even start to move, I think we had to redefine control but I was 6 and I didn't even realize what the heck PC is, that's my story
shelvo vids I played on the ps1, I was 4 and got past it lol it wasn’t hard
I can't belive the stuff this game has that many games with cars don't even today. Hud caps that pop off from to hard of a turn, breakable signs some games are still static.

Specops Armageddon Copyright or the game Car designer's hate muscle cars :(
Specops Armageddon yeah I threw gran turismo in the garbage once I found out the cars don’t have steel rims using hub caps that fly off. Oh wait, no I didn’t?
Can you imagine a straight up remaster? New textures, lighting etc..
Nathan Pelka fuck yes! There are lots of times I would like to see that done to
I dont know if they made a remaster
i know they should. like sane thing but 4k HD
you mean vice city?
GTA already exists.
Probably just 90's babies on this video
We are old as fuck now :(
Probably you are an 80's oldi
No man I was born 2001 and played this all the time the game came out in 99. That isn't that long ago
I'm doing a college paper on this game so I have an excuse to get my ps1 out and play this game .
I played this has a 16 years old teenager
Seriously impressive greaphics for a ps1 game. this is basically 3D GTA on ps1. Before rockstar did it with GTA3 on ps2.
init man that's the truth
+ILoveMyAnus Driver 2 is the first 3D GTA.
when developing GTA3, they actually used this game as a model for a lot of the gameplay and physics.
yeah!!!
Fosho
The intro........CLASSIC!
+414MrMilwaukee What? It's Driver PS1 game, without commentary.
The cars in this game have better damage system than GTA 5.
Leandro Pamplona fr?
@YT User that is actually something someone could do for a video
Which game has better car damage
Nah
First car game I ever played (born in 96) & still love it today. Our disc was corrupt though so we could only do the training & Take a Ride in San Fran & Miami after a while. buying a new one though! Inspired my interest in cars & still mad about them today. Loved all the damage features, the sounds of the car.. ah memories!
+Chloe Reilly but you are a girl O :
also born in 93 and I played it when it first came out. uncle had a Playstation and this was the first game I ever played on it. always had to have him or my mom beat the tutorial. after a couple years I could do it on my own once they told me hit x and o at the start and then when you stop square and triangle. right off the bat knock out 4.
Chloe Reilly you hottie!
Chloe Reilly I'm born in 93 i was about 8 when my cousin got it for me i could not get passed the tutorial because i had no idea what Slalom was haha.
Repping 96 we always out here
The cut scenes were revolutionary for it's time and the game play physics still have me playing Driver to this day.
The most memorable part of this game will always be the hub cap flying off going around a corner.
what a game! who would think that 17 years passed away...fucking time!
This brings back memories! The hub caps that came loose was so awesome .The whole game was!
i wish gta had those driving physics.
I HATED the training part; I crashed so many times I nearly gave up
I agree some of the challenges are tough.
PyramidHead138 haahahha yeah, i got so frustrated that i couldn't make it out of the first stage, but now i can do it pretty quick & it's a stage i enjoy... but the last stage? even using the full health cheat it was near impossible
Gamer Guy82 in the last mission its like the whole cities after you!
Agreed. I even pointed it out in my own review of this game.
+PyramidHead138 I NEVER got through that..... I gave up lol
The amount of detail for those times blew my mind....for example ..when you lose you're rims going over bumps😍
the first mission made this game legendary
Help Me How I can reverse 180 plsss
Cool upload. I used to love playing this game man! This and Tomb Raider and Grand Torismo! Good times ☺
fuck back then I didn't speak English and it was nightmare to figure out the training part :/ lol
lmao
haha 😂😂😁 I use to have the same problem 😂
Boy this takes me back,way back.i was in my twenties when this game came out.now I'm almost 50 and I still love this game.
One thing I liked was swerving through traffic in the hopes that the pursuing cops would hit into them, and then hearing the car "dying" (when the siren winds down).
Damien Letham I did replays of all cities with no damage in survival mode. How can I send it to you?
oh MY GOD
SWEET OLD TIMES
I WAS A KID BACK THEN
i REALLY MISS THIS GAME SO MUCH
I learned my gta driving skills on this introduction alone.
So much memories.
The good old days.
Nostalgia.
Damn so nostalgic
This game 😍 1998 after school this was the real deal
I was like 5 when I played this game, my dumbass thought the intro was the actual game. I'm so disappointed I never realized I played the actual game
LMFAO
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
same lol
JustGaming SAME BRO SAME
JustGaming Holy shit that was fucking funny!!!

I played this game nonstop when I was 10. Memories.

I had a chipped PS1, I got this game for less than a fiver😈
This brings back memories when I was young. Thanks for putting this on UA-cam...this a classic. I believe I still have this and my PS1 😃
I'm just here to see, 18yrs later on how the fuck to beat the training level.
Maize And Steel I some how beat it when I was really young
I beat it when I was 4, don’t ask me how, but I did 😂
Maize And Steel same here😂
والله ايام حلوه الله يجزاك الجنه ووالديك
I still got my PS1 and the copy of this game, 1998... I was 12 and I enjoyed this game too much, freeroaming through the city... Guess here was where my love to open world games started ❤️
Paved the way for games like gta I remember it fondly love this game.
especially driver 2 the first too be able to steal cars 3d
I remember playing this when I was about 6, couldn't get out of the parking garage, dismissed every driver game since, became a beast at ridge racer though lol
damn this bring back memories
Running over pedestrians was my ultimate goal lmao. I've had so much fun with this game

@@GerryIsGaming have u seen the first gta games?
Driver is the godfather of GTA today
@@GerryIsGaming bruh gta 1 and 2 wasn't even on drivers level until gta 3

Jayden Houston so you knew what a slalom was.?!
I have been searching for this game for years! I had a picture in my head how it lookede but I couldn't realize which game it was. Now I have finally found it, tears in my eyes.
I loved the driving mechanics of this game
Driver car physics is much better than a lot of modern games and it was released in 1999.
There's too much emphasis on realistic graphics these days.
But there's no substitute for good ol' game play though. This had it in bucket loads, although those cops could be a nightmare at times - especially later on in the game haha.
Beaucoup de souvenirs avec ce jeu, je l'avais acheté dès la sortie, il était très attendu ! 😊
I hated constantly being on a timer
I remember watching Fast and the Furious and going home and playing this. Good times
This game was filled with Classic cars
Ronald Anderson proper driver cars
Lmao intro is bringing me back!! (Born in 93) i was jus a lil kid trying to get through the training portion.
Me and my uncle spent all night playing this to see who could out run the law the longest
Remember playing this when I was kid man.
was this the one where you do the survival mode with those cops ramming you like crazy?
yes
I used to turn the cars of that bitches and hittin from down to.make them fly xD
Yes
This game was my life.
my favorite childhood game.
Jumping those hills in San Fran!!! So much fun!
I still got dis game
L393 -deleting- still got "this" game. Not dis. Smdh dumbass ebonics
Your a legend then
Jheez gaming has developed so much , who else remembers THE GETAWAY Black Monday ps2 ?

My girlfriend used to say something similar. Too Early. Come Later.
So what does she say now?😆😆
my very first console was the ps1 and driver was my first game, i loved the desert and i still love the game, even now in 2018, i was 6 when i first played it, now i am 24 i still looooove this game !!!!!
it was the year 2000 when i first got it
It be so cool if driver1 was remastered on PS4 and you can live stream it on UA-cam
He'll yeah
I WISH there was a game like this today. Driver 2...just fun. Cops and robbers with a friend...EPIC.
Am I the only non-English speaker who thought the Training Level was a piece of cake?
Lazo Chalak Ali I became a professional race car driver after completing the training missions in this game. My mama never go hungry now.
Lazo Chalak Ali no I'm with u
This was the very first game I've played on console at a friend's house. I remember going there every day with other friends, this game was so addicting lol. Oh man the memories!
Saudades desse jogo marcou minha época
Michel Anderson A minha tbm
classic. used to have this game. I was in 9th grade in 99. Wow the memories.
*سبحان من يغير ولا يتغير*
سبحان الله ...
This brings back alot of memories this was pretty much gta older brother.
It's gtas godfather
We need a new Driver!!!!!!!
Yes please
This takes me back 😎
The training part was BS for sure
THIS was the most hyped game back then! I had to go pirate bazaar 5-6 times to get full working copy...
ذكريات 💔.
Used to play this at Radio Shack
1996
This game taught me what a slalom was. It was the only thing on that list i couldnt figure out lol
it was impossible to run one over like no matter how hard u tried no way u could hit one lol
That moment you want to hit those pedestrians ahaha but the game won't let that happened because they knew kids back then would play and love it like I do. Good all memories especially making movie replay. I spent alot of time making the best replay ahaha
At the time this game released, I thought "This is it... graphics can't get any better than this. We've peaked."
Good times...
Back time what we need was just drive car in games, image what will be in near future
ohhh memory !!!
PMSL was playing this just now on PS3 and thought the red line going through the car moves Burnout, Handbrake, 180 etc meant I had failed. Ioved this in the late 1990s. It was like owning your own car and driving round the spot where the ladies hang out and pretending not to see them while the CD player is blasting out Jurassic 5 and some Dr Dre and Snoops Nuttin but a G Thang.
