Both ring a bell but I can't remember which one I played.

This thread was once very helpful to me for identifying "Fighting Masters", the most generic title that I never would have remembered otherwise:

there was a racing game on the original playstation that was quite geared around crashing through things etc. but was not burnout. it was quite short, as in you felt a bit short-changed by how quickly you got through it but it was quite diverting for a few hours. one of the cars you could drive in it was a mini with the Union Jack on top.

I just did a wiki dive to come up with this mech combat game I played on PC in the '90s, it seemed really advanced at the time (even though gameplay usually amounted to facing off and shooting all your weapons until you won/lost).

Did we all play the same games as kids or what? I thought I was slightly younger than most of you.

Holy shit, yes, but I'm pretty sure it was on Sega Genesis in my case.

It’s the same console, we called it the Megadrive here.

Whoa, surely it's on this list: https://www.ranker.com/list/best-playstation-racing-games/ranker-games

I'll have a look. it wasn't twisted metal as it wasn't a combat game, it was a racing game, where you raced on public roads, it wasn't sandboxy (there was the occasional fork in the road but only very limited in scope) but you definitely crashed through boxes and stuff as part of the game. I think it's been forgotten because it wasn't very good. I think I played it mainly on a demo disco circa 1997
