Just stop, this is embarrassing. Wipeouts roots lie with the PSX.

There's also Saturn ports of both Wipeout and 2097. Wipeout on Saturn is far better than the DOS version but not quite as good as the PSX version because of a slightly lower frame rate and some noticeable input latency. 2097 on Saturn is a more noticeable step down but still an OK port.

The Wipeout DOS port is notoriously bad. A massive step down over PSX. There's no 800x600 res or anything close. Because of DOS it's limited to a very small colour palette of just 256 colours (same as a SNES game). It entirely lacks any track lighting/shadows, and some of the texture's don't even have colour. Infact some textures are completely missing, including on the menu screens. The 2097 PC port was released quite some time after the PSX version, but it was a decent port this time and isn't DOS based anymore.
