Memories. As a 18 year student about to start university in 1995, my first priority was to buy a PlayStation and Ridge Racer haha. I remember the console, game and memory card cost me nearly £400. Coming from a Commodore Amiga, the graphics and gameplay blew me away. I thought it was almost photorealistic at the time haha. Recently, I've just installed FPSe on my Android phone and been playing this on my phone.... it's awesome how technology moves on. Back in 1995 I would have looked at you like you were from another planet if you'd told me I'd one day be playing Ridge Racer on my mobile phone!
@@shellshock10 especially considering everything that £400 could have got you back in 1995. That’s a lot of money and a lot of things. Not even considering what 1995 £400 would convert to in todays money amount.
i got PS1 in 1997 or 1998, it came with this game and I remember putting it into my Sony Walkman CD player for the first time to see what happened(I was about 9). Definitely contributed to my early adoration for electronic music.
+Adrian Combes I only really got into games with the Gameboy and SNES. Needless to say I was a Nintendo fanboy for a while. I *might* have played this in an arcade once. This and Killer Instinct. I remember being so buzzed that *that* was where video games were heading. Now I'm rocking a GTX 970 (1070/80 on the way) and I appreciate every day of it... with the occasional trip back to the classics. Hard to believe there was ever a video game crash.
This and Ridge racer Revolution will forever be 2 of my favorite soundtracks. The energy and nostalgia I tell ya! I remember finally mastering the courses and beating the Black and white scars. I was so proud.
Wow I just must have lost 500 calories shaking my head like crazy listening to track 4 (15:15) in my headphones. Oh shoot I forgot to close the curtains... If anybody saw me from outside he's probably already called the sanitarium.
+LucchiniSW the song at 15:15 is called Rotterdam nation (foo remix) If you played in the arcade you'd have to put the car into 4th gear for it to play this when you race!!!
+craig collins Finally! Some logic to it :D Folks and I used to hear this tune and never understand WHY it would appear so rarely, makes sense now, you gotta be in 4th for a while. 15year old mystery solved XD
I have this game for the Playstation 1, the version is the Japanese one from 1994 in the acrylic case. The CD says SLP 0001. Simply beautiful, incredible and absurdly fantastic!
Rare Hero...love it! Through a decent sound system rather than the television it was brilliant. Rotterdamn Nation as well. Of all the driving games across all the systems I've owned this is the standout for me.
This game was THE game for me at the time in the arcades. I have very found memories of seeing the game for the first time around 93/94 in a local arcade, I was only around 8 years old at the time and had never seen any convincing 3d graphics before (only StarWing at the time on the SNES), I was used to Super Mario World and then I was shown this! I'd never seen graphics like it before. They had the game set up in a real madza mx5 where you sat in it with working controls and was being displayed on a cinema screen! I think it just melted my little mind with excitement, and I burned through at least £5 in £1 plays I will never forget that, soundtrack brings back MASSIVE nostalgia...
As I kid I played ridge racer revolution which I think my uncle passed down to me in the early 2000s and played that for years. First time hearing the original ridge racer soundtrack which a lot are the same if not similar
When I played this game I always thought of an awesome race from Corpus Christi, Texas racing through Port Aransas down Mustang Island and back to Corpus Christi which will be 70 miles long for 1 big lap. Racing from the city around the bay with the beach in view.
I love it that you've uploaded this to RUclips! :D I've played this game since I was 4 or 5 and still play it now (I'm 16 now) So yeah, this is pure nostalgia
Chris Argonian Same here! I've played since I was 17 (I'm 39 now... but who gives a sh&t about my age... aw. oooh. You both are teenyboppers. So you think we care about your age. God is it great to grow up.
Does anyone else also think that the Experience album from The Prodigy sounds a lot like some of the stuff on here, or vice-versa? Still a great soundtrack!
i am 40 now, same for me, i remember the black car very hard to beat ! ♥ best period for video games feelings ! we were elsewhere while playing, the offline world was better :)
I really like the evolution of RIDGE RAGER The gameplay but especially The Music I newer thought I would like any other music in the Ridge Racer series than this Rave, dance, techno but my good Ridge Racer Type 4 change my mind very very fast
thanks for uploading this. I'd never like these on their own. But they're amazing when mixed with memories if playing this as a kid. Spent way too many hours on this and metropolis street racer
hell yes awesome game soundtrack to one of my all time favourite racing games ridge racer and the very first ps1 game, i still have this game now. and i love the arcade feel to this classic game. and always loved the music to this as well.
ゲーム業界のみならず、エンターテイメント業界に衝撃を与えた傑作ではないでしょうか。

ホントに素晴らしい!
もったいない
リッジレーサーシリーズのBGMは神曲多いですよね。もっと評価されても良いと思います。
I have this on my phone, so I can listen in the car!!!
Yep! 😃
こんな美しいサウンドトラックはゲーム業界で知らない
このゲーム、最初にデータ読み込んだらあとディスク出して他のCDと入れ替えて好きなBGMで遊べたな。
その頃好きだったユーロビートがスピード感があってレースゲームによくあっていた。
数年後、頭文字Dのアニメでユーロビートが流れていて感動したもんだ。同じ思考の方がいるもんだなぁと。
30年ぶりにきいた。
昔乗っていた車で横浜港北方面を流してい頃を思い出した。いい曲だな〜
バンダイに取り込まれてから、こういったBGM含めナムコ色が一掃された気がします。ファミコン時代から単体かつ第一線で残ってるソフトメーカーはカプコン位ですね、寂しい限り。
I agree, the old namco died when they merged with Bandai.
The title theme is literally my childhood soundtrack! Used to listen to that track so much! Perfect racing music!
15:15 34:13 聴くだけでストレス発散になる曲
マシンガンでぶっ放してそうなBGMですねw
当時もう1日中やってた。雰囲気とか曲とか最高で。いまだにこの時のデビルカーが大好き。素晴らしい作品。
この頃のデビルカーは剥き出し感あって好き
後発もいいんだけど、こなれた感が強い
15:15 の曲は子供ながら印象的な曲だった。
今聞いても古臭く感じ無いのはすごい。
いいですよね Rotterdam Nation!!
大好きでよく聴いています!
リッジレーサーのBGMのセンスは群を抜いてますよねw
ysk777個人的にはRIDGE TYPE4 やRIDGEⅤ が好きです!

Got the game just for the insane rave tracks
same thing I remember just letting the replay play and watched in awe
LucchiniSW yup
Adrian Lucid me too
当時ゲーセンでやり込んだなぁ~。(そんなに上達しなかったけど)
ポリゴンテクスチャマッピングが使用された初めてのレースゲーム(正しい?)で
当時では画期的に高精彩だったゲーム画面とテクノミュージックの融合が実に素晴らしかった。
なかでも「Rhythm Shift」が一番好きだった。
The pure 1990s of it is strong with this one🤘🏻💯
i got PS1 in 1997 or 1998, it came with this game and I remember putting it into my Sony Walkman CD player for the first time to see what happened(I was about 9). Definitely contributed to my early adoration for electronic music.
The DOOM PS1 port has a secret speedcore track from the one the secret levels

@@delasse3178 it's track 6
I don't think you can play the tracks on PlayStation without using a GameShark I think

Fr lol
I remember swaping the game for the metallica cd
ゲームディスクがそのままオーディオディスク(CD)でもあった時代!!!
よく、カーオーディオで鳴らしてて、あとでゲームプレイ用にもう1枚買った記憶がある。
Namco knows how to make good music
to be sure
I'm 20 years old. Ridge Racer is the best game in PLAYSTATION. When I was younger, I used to play this game with my father.

このゲームミュージックこそ、原点にして頂点
アウトランのことも忘れるな。
懐かしい!これがやりたくてプレステ買いました。景色、音楽、レースそっちのけで止まって海を眺めてましたw
1のやつって内蔵音源でなくCDを再生してたから音楽CDプレーヤーで2トラック目から再生できたんだよね。
それをコンパクトカセットに録音してドライブのお供にしてたのは良い思い出。
一度プレイするとデモ画面がリプレイになるとか、隠しカーがあったりと色々と遊び心が満載なゲームでした
近未来都市の中で走る感動もあったし、何よりもこの曲の良さがリッジシリースのいいろことだと思う。
Wow I just must have lost 500 calories shaking my head like crazy listening to track 4 (15:15) in my headphones. Oh shoot I forgot to close the curtains... If anybody saw me from outside he's probably already called the sanitarium.
Lol I still play Ridge Racer sometimes and when I do I'm pretty much dancing and playing at the same time. Such a good soundtrack.
+LucchiniSW the song at 15:15 is called Rotterdam nation (foo remix)
If you played in the arcade you'd have to put the car into 4th gear for it to play this when you race!!!
+craig collins Finally! Some logic to it :D
Folks and I used to hear this tune and never understand WHY it would appear so rarely, makes sense now, you gotta be in 4th for a while. 15year old mystery solved XD
Weird.. cuz I heard it a lot, I think, while I won nearly every single race.
Only came here for Rotterdam Nation!! Ah the memories 😊
2018 and I’m still hooked, that says something. Thanks Namco for the beats.
It's Ridge Racer. Riiiiidge Racer!
Matt Allen Remember that one?
Garlic OS Yeah, remember that one?
Matt Allen I like that phrase so much :)

Ridge Racer Type 4! Brutal erection joins the fight
I have this game for the Playstation 1, the version is the Japanese one from 1994 in the acrylic case. The CD says SLP 0001. Simply beautiful, incredible and absurdly fantastic!
one of the best arcade racers, ever!
Rare Hero...love it! Through a decent sound system rather than the television it was brilliant. Rotterdamn Nation as well. Of all the driving games across all the systems I've owned this is the standout for me.
this was the track I love to race to back in the day
This game was THE game for me at the time in the arcades. I have very found memories of seeing the game for the first time around 93/94 in a local arcade, I was only around 8 years old at the time and had never seen any convincing 3d graphics before (only StarWing at the time on the SNES), I was used to Super Mario World and then I was shown this!

This soundtrack made me a huge Ridge Racer fan.
Three laps to go!
One of the first games to have hardcore techno!
Best Video game soundtrack in histroy
Borghome It was indeed awesome
uhhhh.
you better go check out midnight club: Dub edition.
Main reason why I got the game is for the insane rave tracks
YES!!!!
Loaded PS1 OST also worthy of mention
Wow what a start! hey there's somebody on your tail!!!
That's just what I wanted to see!

thats great cornering, you've got it made!
“Next corner’s tough! Watch yourself!”
This game is the reason why I'm into this type of music today 🎶🎶🎵🎵
I was 10 when this came out, threw this disc in a CD player and was rejoiced 😊🥰
1 st ps1 game seen on a TV in a TV Shop, changed my life.
15:15 rotterdom nationは、クリリンの声に聞こえてしょうがなかったw
変な曲なんだけど、とにかくテンション上がる
Ridge racer main theme, one of the best pieces of game music ever written..... ( IMO ) Just suuuperb...
First game I ever played when I was 3, the memories, i've still got my ps1 and my copy of the game, a great game ! :D
初代PSで真っ先に買ったソフトがコレと鉄拳。
Rare Heroは特に好きな曲。
some of the best video game music ever.
it still feels like im trying to hold that black devil car behind me :D :D Loved this soundtrack, and still do!.
I bought Ridge Racer in 13 old. My good memorise...
This came out in the year I was born! As early as I can remember, this game was my go to all time favorite game for years.
とにかくドリフトが楽しいゲーム。
の一言に尽きる。
ゲーセンでもだいぶプレイしたし、
ネジコン買ってps版も相当プレイした。
当時ベーマガでリッジレーサーのタイムアタックを募集していたけど、
連日プレイしまくって、best record 10位以内の3位くらいには入る位の腕前にはなっていたなぁ。
私も動画投稿(当時はVHSを送る)しようと録画もしていたけど、微妙なタイム更新が続いたりして、
結局投稿するタイミングを逃してしまった。
どうやっても最高速度が高い方がタイムアタックも理論上最も早いので、使うのは常に黒い奴。その分操作がシビアになるけど、
コンマ一秒のネジを切るタイミングと、微妙なタイミングのずれとタイヤの滑り具合のずれを逆ハンで調整する。
大きくタイミングがずれたらもうおしまいだけど、微妙なずれなら1/100秒も変わらないから、調整しながらタイムアタックに挑戦していたなぁ。
よくそんな根性があったよ。昔の私は。
ベーマガでbest5には入っていたから、日本国内でbest10には入る腕前だった。と勝手に思ってるw
でも、それだけ継続してプレイできたのも、この軽快で飽きの来ない秀逸なbgmのせいも絶対あったと思う。ありがとう
As I kid I played ridge racer revolution which I think my uncle passed down to me in the early 2000s and played that for years. First time hearing the original ridge racer soundtrack which a lot are the same if not similar

I remember this game from waaaayy back!!! Thanks for uploading this.
思い出したように聞きにきますね(^_^)初代PSでリッジレーサーがでてプレイした時は衝撃でしたね(^_^)
I played the arcade version with a full size car, it was like a mx5 or something. It was awesome
full throttle mix is so damn fire
32:56 is the one I had in my head for so many times.. ! RIIIIIIIDGE RACEEEEEEER !! !! 1 ! !!! !! !
26:00 FEELING OVER was always playing when i played at the arcade. Didn’t need to change!
When I played this game I always thought of an awesome race from Corpus Christi, Texas racing through Port Aransas down Mustang Island and back to Corpus Christi which will be 70 miles long for 1 big lap. Racing from the city around the bay with the beach in view.
Viper Dagger I totally agree with you. :)
first game on my Ps1....with a soundtrack like that how could I forget
Damn, so original. The good old days where the music was just as good as the game
You say that like it doesn't exist anymore
Oh Yes, the music was a bit part of this game.
I love it that you've uploaded this to RUclips! :D
I've played this game since I was 4 or 5 and still play it now (I'm 16 now)
So yeah, this is pure nostalgia
Same here :D Played this game since I was 3 and still do to this day (I'm 18 now): This is pretty much my childhood in audio format
Chris Argonian Same here! I've played since I was 17 (I'm 39 now... but who gives a sh&t about my age... aw. oooh. You both are teenyboppers. So you think we care about your age. God is it great to grow up.
Well, not everyone on the internet is mean, you know. I like it that you still play this classic!
Thymo I got them all, and play at least some courses every week. Ridge Racer is special.
I only have this one
1993....
OK now I feel really old. 😢
Jæßun Jötnarjäger I played this game back in..the later half of the 90s. I feel old now too lol.
40:26 The most positive Game Over I've ever gotten in my life
Very Prodigy like :D
I never forget it I always go first and I listen to it blast out on TV as my parents gone crazy lol
kkkkk parece sim! like!
'Is Ridge Racer ! RIIIIIDGE RAEEEECUUUR !~
These days, new Ridge Racer doesn't says
"RIIIIIIDGERAACEEEER"...
Does anyone else also think that the Experience album from The Prodigy sounds a lot like some of the stuff on here, or vice-versa?
Still a great soundtrack!
懐かしい!!!
車の名前忘れたけど
青い車凄く好きだった
それな!
Amazing Soundtrack!
Ridge Racer Forever!!!! 😃😃
世界初。か判らないけど、多分世界初の
家庭用ゲーム機で、ポリゴンにtextureを張り付けたゲーム。
技術でも最先端で、psの存在と技術を世界中に知らしめた記念すべきゲームで、
新しい時代の幕開けの一つだと思う。
簡単にドリフトが出来ることに特化して作ったので、
リアリティは弱いけど、爽快感は当時世界一と言っても良いと思う。
そしてやはりこの音楽。
一風変わった作り方で、一見変な音楽なんだけど、
納豆にご飯が合うような感じで、ゲームとしての爽快感と興奮を高める為に
作られた音楽で芸術作品の一つだと思う。
i am 40 now, same for me, i remember the black car very hard to beat ! ♥ best period for video games feelings ! we were elsewhere while playing, the offline world was better :)
Loved those days, Ridge Racer, Ecstacy & Happy Hardcore...
This makes me so happy.
WOAH, THAT WAS A GREAT COUNTER! YOU MUST BE ONE GENIUS OF A DRIVER! YOU GOTTA TEACH ME!!!
I got the high spec demo with RRT4. Love both games. Lots of good memories. Still play them today.
One of the greatest racing soundtrack of the 90s

wow! this sounds astonishing! I easily could imagine some of these tracks at some techno rave in 2021
I really like the evolution of RIDGE RAGER
The gameplay but especially The Music I newer thought I would like any other music in the Ridge Racer series than this Rave, dance, techno
but my good Ridge Racer Type 4 change my mind very very fast
Oh the memories of nights spent with the black racer.
I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!! This is what made the PS1 launch magical.....
15:15 Best song in the game :)
2019 and I still listen to this! This was one of my first games ever as a child!
I am truly appreciated with your contribution on sharing this soundtrack! I've been looking for this for a long long time! Thanks a lot!!!
車を運転時のコーナーの動線の引き方、自転車に乗った時の歩行人を避ける時の瞬時の判断など、このゲームをやり込んで培われたものが今でも役に立ってると思う。
スピード出し過ぎじゃないですか?スピードは控えめに
This was the first thing I ever heard come out of a PS1. This honestly comes very close to the PS1's CD audio.
The first track is quite laid back and relaxing I find..... Essentially a classical piece.....
