1.00 - September 19, 2006:
Compilated on September 17, 2006 around 2:37am EST and
finished on Spetember 19, 2006 around 2:28pm EST. Decided
to do a non-fighting and classic gameof a series in particular
within the PlayStation/Saturn/Nintendo 64 era so I decided
to pay homage to Twisted Metal because that game rocked.

Contest History:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is Christmas Eve, 2005...and in a few moments the
legendary TWISTED METAL competition will begin.
Deep within his stronghold far beneath the streets of
Los Angeles, the contest's demented creator, a man
who calls himself Calypso, watches and waits...
He is prepared to pay the winner ANY prize he or she
requests. No matter how rare. No matter how costly.
No matter the consequences.
A dozen competitors have been personally selected
by Calypso to do combat in the tenth running of the
TWISTED METAL competition. They come from
every background...Assassins, Mercenaries, Vigilantes,
Professional Drivers, Social Misfits and Joyriders...all
are out for one thing tonight, the chance to battle for
their ultimate dream.
Tonight, one dream will come true.

''I can offer you ANYTHING, Sweet Tooth! Money, fame,
even power...you dare INSULT ME!?!'' Calypso screams.
But your mind is made up. Ever since you escaped from the
