Ultra-realistic beyond reality!!
"RIDGE RACER" is a racing game released by NAMCO (Bandai Namco Entertainment) in 1993.
Experience the essence of virtual reality using the 3D CG system "System 22."
This game has four modes to choose from, including three difficulty levels - NOVICE, INTERMEDIATE, and ADVANCED - as well as T.T. (TIME TRIAL), where you compete one-on-one against a rival car to achieve the best time. Additionally, a DX version featuring support for an H-shifter and clutch is also included.
The “Arcade Archives” series began in May 2014 with the concept of faithfully reproducing classic arcade games. With the release of “RIDGE RACER,” the series introduces “Arcade Archives 2” series, featuring a completely redesigned user interface.
In addition to the “ORIGINAL MODE,” “HIGH SCORE MODE,” and “CARAVAN MODE” included in the “Arcade Archives” series, “Arcade Archives 2” series will add new features such as “TIME ATTACK MODE” and “NETWORK MODE.”In “TIME ATTACK MODE” you compete to see who can beat the final boss the fastest stating from the first battle. This mode focuses on how quickly you can complete the game, regardless of the score you achieve. In “NETWORK MODE” you can play against other users over the network. However, “TIME ATTACK MODE” and “NETWORK MODE” may not be implemented in some games. Since “RIDGE RACER” is a single-player game, “NETWORK MODE” is not implemented.
Additionally, functionality has been significantly enhanced. Multiple save slots have been implemented instead of just one, along with a rewind feature that allows players to retry gameplay and a quick start feature for those who want to dive straight into the game. Furthermore, VRR support has been added, enabling more accurate reproduction of the original arcade game's experience.
Enjoy the legendary arcade masterpiece with “Arcade Archives 2,” now more fun and user-friendly.
