I have seen several posts about the steering/Joystick problems with Destruction Derby 2 (including my own). Here's the solutions I found to correct the "pulling left" problem when playing the Win95 version. 1. Thrustmaster ACM gamecard, once I callibrated the port for my TM GP1 wheel it worked fine in DD2 after installing the gamecard. 2. DirectX 3.0, after installing the DirectX 3.0 drivers (new Direct Input) the "pulling" problem was resolved, It worked fine on my SB16 joystick port and I returned the game card. 3. Install the DOS version if the above fails, Occasionally the wheel doesnt calibrate correctly and when steering left the wheels of teh car flip right??? Re-calibrate until it resolves then save config. The DOS version is also not as sensitive, a larger null zone perhaps. 4. SpaceOrb 360: I can use my SpaceOrb as a Win95 joystick and decrease the sensitivity of the steering axxis, this worked VERY well but I prefer a wheel for driving games. Psygnosis tech support is NONEXISTANT, they have yet to return ANY e-mails! Dave Worley "RacerX" 4.

With the steering fixed (for some anyway) does that make the game somewhat enjoyable, or is it still a waste of money? I never played the first one, but I've seen other people play it.

Should I buy either one? YES!! Get both of 'em. DD2 works fine on my computer, and after a little practice the seem to handle pretty well. By the way, if you drive the courses in reverse, you can get all sorts of points.
