Ridge Racer

Ridge Racer is the 1993 Namco arcade racer ported to the PlayStation as one of the system’s defining launch titles, published in PAL territories by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. This particular pressing is the German Reprint, presented in a Full Jewel PAL case carrying a Hologram B sticker. The single English-language disc is paired with German-localised printed matter and packaging, with the barcode 0711719248125 identifying this issue specifically. As a Reprint without a recorded release date, this variant most likely appeared during the late 1990s production runs intended to keep a recognisable launch title on retail shelves. For collectors building a complete country set of SCES-00001, the German Reprint is one of four region-specific Reprint pressings documented and is distinguished from its siblings primarily by its barcode and its localised inserts.
