I spent countless hours on Ridge Racer. It was one of my favorite arcade racers I played as a child. RIIIIIDGE RACER!!!

The game's fun arcade spirit is the reason Ridge Racer stands the test of time.

This was the first game i bought when I got a psx, and was also my first console I ever owned. It was such a proud moment. I used money from my first job I ever had. I still remember opening it, that brand new smell. This game was just so good. The music, graphics and the technique of drifting your car and getting it just right so you would get a little turbo boost as you came out of the corner. Man, I played this game so much. Beating the black car was rock hard, but the feeling of accoplishment when I finally did it. Once id completed it, I used to compete with my mate to do fastest laps on the first track. Shortly after I moved onto Wipeout and thats a whole another story. Wonderful Memories.

Remember that transition from 16-bit to 32? Incredibile. Kids these days will never understand.

Ridge Racer is a stone cold classic, I really enjoyed playing it again all these years later for a new series I'm working on. Graphically it may not have aged well but the gameplay is still amazing and the soundtrack is fantastic despite being a little limited.

The game brings a tear to my eye, these were the days when everything was so fresh and exciting (unlike now...). When arcade excellence became home and standard norm, it was filled zeal & enthusiasm and I still feel it when watching this classic (only Ridge Racer V provides the same feeling!!). Which leads me to now?!! What the hell happened?!! We have it all, the HD graphics and music but something is sorely missing and RR1 shows it, I don't know what it is....Weren't things supposed to get better in time, not worse?!!!.........

Agree with you. Your gonna get bombarded by a bunch of young kids who dont appreciate old school games and are gonna try their best to silence you and dismiss you by saying it's all simply nostalgia that makes you feel that way. Fuck those little kids. They'll understand one day. Or maybe not. They were all born in a time where games hold your hand and day one patches and updates are the norm. Where a game is good bc "muh graphics". Even when the gameplay is complete ass lmfao. I play modern day games. All the time. But these classics, just cant be touched. Except mine wasnt ridge racer on the ps1. Mine was ridge racer on n64. Fucking love that game lol.

even after these years ,i still have fun playing the old games regardless if its my first time or not

1995 was a magical era, snes sega gen was still going strong, but the next gens were just appearing, it seemed like the big players were going to be the sega saturn and the nintendo 64 with some wierd ones on the side like the 3do and jaguar and then from left field sony dropped this i was blown away at 8 years old like DAD thats the one- i'm 31 now and VR has come kinda close to reproducing the wow factor but not 100%

i remember playing this game and remembering back to donkey kong on snes as the best graphics we had seen, and then the playstation came with graphics like this, it was so amazing! new console, and a hole new world of amazing graphics and games. enormous anticipation about the future and what it could hold, cus this was literately more than twice as good graphics as the one we had seen before. the leap from snes to ps1 was the biggest leap in graphics we have ever experienced, imo. (basically from 2d to 3d) if we could ever have something like this again, would be awesome! another thing, i remember looking at the dinosaur in the demo disc that came with the ps1, it was around the time when jurassic park showed in the movies, and i was thinking, "i'm sure we will have graphics like this on consoles in 10 years", oh my i was wrong, it's now 20 years later, and.. yeah..

Such a fun game for the time, the music is still triggers my brain, which is crazy.

Fantastic game. One of my personal favourites!

I've got this, along with "Ridge Racer Hi-Spec Demo/Turbo" which includes an extra 14th car: WHITE ANGEL. This game will always be #1 in my heart, it beats the modern Ridge Racer games we have today, such as Ridge Racer 3D.

That soundtrack is pure nostalgic 90s bliss!

I never knew there was another secret car after beating all the tracks. Looks like I have some work to do =P

after 23 years of playing this game, I just read that Roterdam Nation is just the announcer talking in backwards

Right here i wanna to see this Racing. We're gonna celebrate the best Game in 30th anniversary of Ridge Racer series from namco gettin' themselves into

Love this game even now. A classic that made me buy a PS1 - couldn't wait to show it off to friends at school. Why oh why have they totally messed up the series now, a very big shadow of it's former self.

Hail the classic of namco! ^^ its one of the best racing games back in the 90s . =3 and the other sequels are really awesome too like Ridge racer type 4, Rage racer and Ridge racer revolution . but the ps2 sequels arent that great like the psx games because it loses the charm and awesomeness of ridge racer . =/ I think that namco should make the series again simple ,arcade-like , with epic locations and cool music to get stuned for years like the psx games .

I love this game probably my fav

I would like to play this game sometime. I've played other ridge racer games on the ps1 but not this one. I love ridge racer. Had it on the n64 growing up and I fucking love that version. Still play it to this day. I also really enjoyed the 3ds version personally and i think I'd have alot of fun with this one. Those old school ridge racer drifting mechanics where you just slide up on a turn and kick the whole damn car sideways all the way around it lmao I absolutely love it. They dont make good arcade racers like this anymore. Now everyone wants to do simulators. Which I do play on occasion. But they are stupid boring compared to these old school arcade racers lol

@msimplay why is that strange? things that are different make more sense to be compared than something else really similar, cus theres not much to compare then

When rave music meets car race into the one, probably PS1 debut game.

Did the same guy also voice the announcer for the game Screamer? It sounds like the same person.

Ridge Racer Type 4 was the first game that i played in this series. So coming here from that game ,the control is easy to get used to , i manage to beat each races with just few attempts. Difficulty curve isnt that high like Daytona USA ,drifts can be executed much easily and i was very satisfied being able to conquer the game. The four races in Arcade Mode are actually easy when you know the layout of the track and get used to the controls. The true challenge starts at Extra Mode ,i cant beat anything from Mid-Level onwards. Sure,the graphics didnt hold up well but who cares as long as the game is fun and playable. Wish Namco would give us a new Ridge Racer already

Unlocking 8 other cars before the BOSS CAR, Soldat Crinale (13th Racing) is UNBELIAVABLY HARD.

my fucking best psx racing game

@Amaranthus616 ill try to explain my point better. arcade racers can be compared to each other, as they are similar and have their differences. but other styles of drviing games can also be compared as they too may have some similarities but many differences. they do borrow some elements anything can really be compared, simulation driving is still driving, as is arcade, just the comparison is how each style does it

@Amaranthus616 there wasnt really anything to disagree with me on there, i agreed with your arcade comment and was saying that that guy obviously likes realism better which you picked up on too thats what my last comment was about. i didnt say anything bad about unrealistic games at all

OH NO!!!

28:09 whoo, talk about luck, you stopped 13" Racing

"Yueeeerrr tha grreatest!"

huzza! XD I always found the EXTRA tracks 2 hard 4 me, so I use 13th Racing on .T. EXTRA with RT RYUKYU

Prince Jamie The 7th are you talking about the one that came prepackaged with Ridge Racer 4?!

yes it was the galaxian

@msimplay well its still not that strange, the guy just likes more realistic things, as you said, many base whats good and whats not based on realism levels its not unusual for someone to play a game, and decide they dont like it as much because the other game they played was more suited to them. in that guys case, more realism is more suited to him. hence, he didnt like ridge racer as much as gran tourismo and made that comment based on how he felt about it but i agree, more arcady the better

Could anyone explain how to consistently drift and come out of drift without losing speed?

i cant remember

The newer ridge racer games have multiplayer

I know, none of that drifting BS

29:04 13 is back for revenge, but you outran him

@msimplay yes, which is why he doesnt like ridge racer

Ridge Racer 7 was still good. I hate the new Split Second rip of.

@msimplay i dont like gran tourismo, im not one for simulators. the closest thing to simulation i play is test drive. and that still feels arcady but still, comparing isnt just seeing whats the same, its seeing what one has and what one doesnt, usually to make choices. and arcade racers and simulators have things the others dont have, and sometimes do have, test drive unlimited feels like a cross between, even some simulators do when you can sometimes shunt other cars and get away with it

@msimplay and yet you just compared them yourself its not strange, its to compare what the other game has, what the other doesnt, what they are. you cant compare something that is the same, as there is nothing then, to compare

@msimplay i never said realisitic was better, i agreed with you. arcade is better. i was just saying that he thought realistic was better because it suited him and so he said so i have lots of old systems, from atari, to vectrex to megadrive...i know old games too. nobody needs to tell me to need to learn about games. hell on my channel i have some videos of some unrealstic games too

25:30 rythem shift rules

I've always hated this game... Maybe because i got Gran Turismo first... And since then i always compared all Ridge Racers with all Gran Turismo's...

0:02 0:03

@msimplay Gran Turismo also has an Arcade mode... Also better physics and car behaviour... Beeing an "arcade game" isnt a excuse to make it bad. And this is bad.

dude you are comparing an arcade game that predates 32-bit consoles and got ported as the VERY first PS1 game, with another game that had years of development and got released years after the ps1launch. Go home man, you are drunk. I hope after 8 years your attitude changed a bit.

Comment no. 100 poggers

I promise. Every time I hear 'Rotterdam Nation', it reminds me of Steve Urkel. Good times.

they say that if you kill all the aliens, you get rewarded 8 more cars and 1 of the bestest on the game is GALAGA RT CARROT, a highly recommended choice for beating 13" RACING

is this game supposed to control like ass?

Need For Speed (3DO) and Ridge Racer (PS1) looks way better than Sonic Drift (Game Gear).
