Great show, guys! :)
Regarding Ridge Racer PSX you mentioned... did you know that Sony worked closely with ... Namco on the hardware specs, in order to have a Ridge Racer version as close as possible than the arcade one?
So somehow, the PSX (playstation) hardware has been developed with this target: making a 3D game such Ridge Racer playable day one! The next Namco games came (Cyber Sled, Starblade, Tekken, Ace Combat...) very quickly after Ridge Racer because based on the same hardware/model...
Speaking about Namco, I really enjoyed the Dig Dug section... I played that game since so many time (arcade version in the 80s, but Namco Museum Volume 3 on PSX)...that I had an overdose of that game...I didn't played it since a looong time, and never feelt the need to play it again... until today, after listening your show! I didn't know few tips you mentioned, and listening you speaking about that game gave me the need to go back on it! :P
I also own Namco Classic Collection 2 jamma board, so I'll also able to do deeper in the 'arrangement' version (just tried a couple of games in 5 years or so...).
Oh, and I strongly suggest you to get the Namco Classic Collection 1 board, especially for ...XEVIOUS arrangement! That game rocks, and the music is simply awesome (so awesome that Namco released the OST)!
PS : NAMCO RULEZ
PPS : NAMCO, THE GAME CREATOR (so true!) :-*
