Ridge Racer (US, RR3 Ver.B) - Gioco MAME

Videogioco arcade pubblicato 31 anni fa:

Ridge Racer © 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.

CURIOSITÀ
Ridge Racer è stato rilasciato il October 7, 1993 in Giappone. It was then released in December 1, 1993 in Nord America.

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.
