Ridge Racer hits different in the arcade, but can your PS1 muscle memory keep up when it's running on MAME? In this video, we take the legendary Ridge Racer from the original PlayStation and pit our driving skills against the unforgiving arcade version using MAME emulation. Spoiler: those drift corners aren’t as friendly without a DualShock controller!

Whether you're a retro gamer chasing that arcade nostalgia or a modern player curious about where Ridge Racer began, this one's for you. We dig into how Ridge Racer on PSX compares to the original arcade cabinet—graphics, handling, sound, the vibes—it’s all here. You’ll find out just how different (or surprisingly similar) they really are and if years of console experience actually translate into arcade domination.

Expect a few near-misses, and lots of sideways action as we slide through one of the most iconic arcade racers ever made. And yes, we might crash into that first corner - because some traditions must be honored.

Whether you grew up feeding coins into arcade cabinets or loading Ridge Racer onto your chipped PS1, come along for a wild ride through the pixelated streets of nostalgia. Leave a comment and tell us: which version do you prefer—arcade or console?
