#32In 1993 I had my 11th birthday party at a bowling alley and they had a Ridge Racer cabinet. Seeing those graphics completely rearranged my molecules. I had no idea that a video game could look so realistic.

#33I played on this in Blackpool when younger! Brings back some amazing memories, but think it was at Mr B's, not the Pleasure Beach?

#34I remember the Ridge Racer installation at Codona's in Aberdeen, from when I was part of a team that ran a prototype networked computer games cafe on the other side of the burger bar. I might if I dig around still have some video of people playing it from a promo reel I shot!
Please do share it with the arcade blogger

#35I love using the left 40% of my display to show an image of a car while the actual blog post now requires more scrolling and looks 'meatier'. Awful UX.
Sounds like you're getting tablet layout on mobile?

Not to state the bleedin' obvious, but I will - the point of the UX is that the site adapts to the device being used. And it adapts well. The large image on the left in desktop mode is certainly different, but I like the execution personally.

#39I just remember the ps1 version. It was quite a feat to get the black car :)
Defeating the black and the white car is probably my greatest video game achievement (though that's not saying much0. Probably wouldn't have been possible without the twisty controller.
Oh wow, I had one too and completely forgot about it.

#40Earlier quoted context omitted.
I see we’ve crossed the PlayStation nostalgia event horizon, just as we crossed the NES and SNES ones before.
And the 2600 before that.
With that one, I remember using the rotary controller to catch bombs in buckets of water. I had to defocus my eyes to watch the entire screen at once. :)
