About

An updated version of Ridge Racer for the PlayStation, included as a bonus disc alongside Ridge Racer Type 4, and as a limited promotional release in some territories. Unlike the original 1994 PlayStation release, this runs at 60 fps, features higher quality polygonal models and utilises Gouraud shaded textures.
