Is this true for only the US version? I'm in the UK and I very specifically remember playing the game CD on a stereo. However looking back on it, it was not the black label release.

    Haha same, especially with 2097. But yeah even the euro version lacks licensed music, which wasn't a thing yet in 1995.

    Having checked the Wikipedia page for Wiepout, the Euro version featured a track each from Leftfield, Chemical Brothers and Orbital. I didnt know The Prodigy were approached to provide an original song, but apparently it never happened. Looking back, it is probably my earliest memory of licensed music being used in a game. I became a big fan of Chem Bros and Leftfield because of Wipeout. Orbital not so much. It wasn't until Gran Tursimo 1 when I again remember a licensed soundtrack being used so well and heavily.
