Ridge Racer


Secret to Success: One of the first games released for the Playstation and still one of the most fun. Sure, there's only one track, but you can drive on this track in more ways than you can imagine. Before the game started you could play an old version of Galaga, and if you got all the aliens, you were rewarded with being able to select the Black car (which was pretty sweet). It wasn't two player, but staying up all night in a contest with your buddy to see who can get the best time was not unusual.

Memorable Moments: The announcer. With lines like, "That's just what I wanted to see!" and, "Yerrrr Crrrrrazy!" in this really dorky voice, how could you not love it? The replays were great as well, especially if you could do a power slide into a corner successfully and make a nice jump. They were always a must to watch, especially when the announcer says "you'll watch it later, right?"
