Mark Plays… Ridge Racer (Arcade)(Mame)

#RidgeRacer #Arcade

Ridge Racer (リッジレーサー)(Rijji Rēsā)
is a 1993 racing video game developed and published by Namcot. It was initially released on the Namco System 22 arcade system board, and later ported to the PlayStation console in 1994. It is the first title in the Ridge Racer series released for arcades and home consoles. The objective is to finish in first place in a series of races.

Sadly no PC versions/releases ever were created. Consoles homeports only.

I did also try the PSone (NTSC) release over here:

One of the best Arcade racers out there – love the entire series.
