This disc image is the best recreation of the Japanese PC version of Twisted Metal currently available in a digital form. As of September 29th, 2019, no proper verified complete dump of this rare game exists online, and the only images that are available for this version are incomplete images that lack the Redbook audio that was present in game.

While I cannot, for obvious reasons, say that this disc image is fully complete and byte-for-byte identical to an actual dump of the disc, it is as close as it is going to get short of an actual, verified dump. This image contains a version of the game with a restored CD Audio soundtrack, using the audio from the original PS1 release, and the game data from a dump of the PC Game missing the CD Audio.

While the game is a Japanese release, the entirety of the game is in English, other than the help files, which can only be read on the Japanese version of Windows 95.

As this game is designed for Japanese PCs, you'll ideally want to use a PC running the Japanese Version of Windows 95 to play this game (although my testing of this has been done in the North American version, and short of unreadable help files, runs just as well).

EDIT: There are some notable files on the disc image that are certainly NOT Part of the original game (The "twisted" and "tm" folders and their contents as well as twisted.rar, Twisted (2).rar, and TM.zip on the root of the disc). This is a side effect of having to use an unverified disc image as the base for the reconstruction. There is no way for me to remove the data without further unnecessary modification, although said files are benign in their nature and include some information about other titles in the series.
