A prototype version of Wipeout appeared in the seminal 1995 film "Hackers" [1]... the very same film that involved future Shaggy actor Matthew Lillard sporting a red Motorola pager and a pre-"Tomb Raider" Angelina Jolie declaring that "RISC architecture is gonna change everything". What a fantastic (in the literal and figurative senses of the term) film.
