'''Ridge Racer''' is a [[racing]] arcade game which was released by [[Namco]] in [[1993]]; it was their first title to run upon the company's (then-new) "Super" System 22 hardware (a Motorola 68020 microprocessor running up at 24.576 MHz, with two Texas Instruments TMS-32025 sub-microprocessors running up at 49.152 MHz, a pair of Mitsubishi M37702 MCUs running up at 16.384 MHz and 6.144 MHz, and a C352 custom sound chip running at 24.576 MHz). The player must use a steering wheel, six-position gear shifter, and three pedals to take control of a red off-road car (which is affiliated with "Team [[F/A]]", and also bears the name of "[[Galaxian³]]") - and there are also several billboards for arcades that were operated by the company (including the old "Wonder Eggs" theme park in Tokyo, which was the only place you could play [[Phantomars]] before it closed in [[2000]]). On "Novice" difficulty a race is 2 laps and your car's maximum speed 180 km/h while on "Advanced" and "Expert" difficulty it is 3 laps and your car's maximum speed is 200 km/h; for the "Time Trial" mode your car's maximum speed is 220 km/h. | |||
