Rave Racer, a previously arcade-cabinet-only Ridge Racer series entry, will be receiving its first-ever home console release.
The Namco racing game was the third game in the accessible driving game series. It hit arcades in 1995, following the original Ridge Racer in 1993 (with an original PlayStation port arriving across 1994 and 1995) and the arcade-only Ridge Racer 2.
It came before the second title to hit consoles, Ridge Racer Revolution, but within the same year.
This has been converted by Hamster Corporation, as part of its long-running Arcade Archives re-release series.
Last year, it converted the original arcade-cabinet version of the maiden Ridge Racer game – again a home console first, as the original PlayStation version did have some differences.
