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.
