Ridge Racer 2
Ridge Racer 2 is Namco's 1994 arcade racing sequel that expanded the original's formula with new courses, enhanced drifting mechanics, and a turbo boost system. Running on Namco System 22 hardware, it featured textured 3D graphics that were groundbreaking for arcades at the time, along with an iconic techno soundtrack.

Gameplay Systems
The gameplay is very much like that of the original, but unlike the vanilla version of Ridge Racer (which was a single-player game), in Ridge Racer 2 up to eight players can play simultaneously when four two-player cabinets are linked together. A player's number determines their car. There also are six new songs, including remixed ones from the original, that can be selected with the gear shifter at the start. The enormous television screen above the entrance to the first tunnel shows footage from Namco's 1979 title Galaxian (in the original, it was playing Mappy ).
There is a rear-view mirror at the top of the screen, so a player can see other cars coming from behind. There is also a change in daylight from day to night (a car driven into the track's tunnel during the day will come out the other end at night).
