LONGTIME PlayStation fans have long been asking for more from one of its most iconic series.
The series has had a bit of a revival of late, with a collection of games from the series released for the last generation.

If the Wipeout Omega inspired players to go back and try out the original game, you can now do that completely free.
The original Wipeout was first released for PlayStation 1 in 1995.
While the HD version is currently available as part of the Omega Collection, it can be difficult to get your hands on the PSOne classic.
The Wipeout series are zero-gravity racing games, where you race at high speed around arenas with terrain you don’t see in traditional racing games.
As the ships are not connected to the tracks, they can jump off high ramps and perform loops without trouble.
Wipeout differs greatly from Nintendo’s zero-gravity racing series F-Zero.
The main difference is the use of power-ups and weapons in Wipeout, which you can use to take out your opponent.
As a series, Wipeout mixes the fast-paced racing of traditional games with the items and wacky design of cart racers.

The whole original Wipeout game is now available in browser, and can be played on any PC without the need to download.
Players can choose between the full version of the game, or a minimal version that loads much faster but that doesn’t have the pre-rendered cutscenes.
You can also play using only your keyboard, so there is no need for any external controllers.
Anyone can play Wipeout now for completely free by visiting the official website from any browser.
