Actual Entry (non editable)
Ridge Racer (c) 1993 Namco, Limited. A superb, single-person racing game from Namco, featuring texture-mapped polygon graphics; in which the player competes against computer cars or attempts to set a 'personal best' in a time trail event. Ridge Racer features just a single racing track, but different sections of the track become available to add variety to the racing. Ridge Racer's superb gameplay places a large emphasis on 'power sliding'; locking the car in a slide and drifting through corners. Perfecting this skill is key to winning races. - TECHNICAL - Namco System 22 hardware Game ID: RR Main CPU: 68020 (@ 24.576 Mhz), (2x) TMS32025 (@ 49.152 Mhz), M37702 (@ 16.384 Mhz) Sound Chips: C352 (@ 16.384 Mhz) Screen Orientation: Horizontal Video Resolution: 640 x 580 Pixels Screen Refresh: 60.00 Hz Palette Colors: 32768 See 'UPDATES' section below for more info of this game's hardware revision (including regions).

A Ridge Racer unit is prominently shown in the second episode of the Japanese TV show "Ninja Sentai KakuRanger," showing an actor playing the game rather poorly. According to a promotional flyer, Ridge Racer was the first 3-D arcade game to feature texture mapped polygons. Victor Entertainment released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Ridge racer : Namco Game Sound Express Vol.11 - VICL-15025) on Januray 21, 1994.
