Ridge Racer (12.3.94)
One of the most exciting launch titles in gaming history, Ridge Racer was amazing to experience in your home in 1995, even if downgraded from the much more powerful System 22 arcade hardware. Like Namco's other famous PlayStation series, Tekken, the aged mid-90s CG have a special nostalgic charm nowadays...

Only the chosen ones, will likely experience the thrills...
Intense ups and downs.

The roaring engine which brings uncompromising power.
Have there even been a racing game so fixated on the experience of driving?
