@Michael2008ish It's a series of games you can buy which were released in the arcades, at a very simple level. No streaming or services, just buy the release you want to.
I have no others but this one which I bought today as I love the original Ridge Racer, Ridge Racer 2 and Ridge Racer Revolution, I'm not bothered about any after that. It's the colours, music, announcer, simplicity and original nostalgia that make these for me.
Rave, Rage, Type 4 and so on are a bit plain in comparison.
Is it just me that prefers the PS1 version? It definitely gives me that lovely Ridge Racer feel I want, but maybe it's the original nostalgia from owning and playing the PS1 version back in my childhood which makes me want to play that one instead.
I think the extra content of the home version helps, with the Devil car in T.T. for example, and that you aren't rushed through menus. It's understandable with an arcade game but I'm not a fan of that.
It's a shame if they didn't bring back the PS1 boot up sounds. Sounds like they didn't, as I agree with some others that the themes weren't that great when you were actually in the menus.
I would like to get more invested, but I'm still a physical game buyer, and with the cost of some of these digital PS VR2 games I was hoping they would get a physical release. I doubt it though, so I'll probably pick up the likes of Horizon COTM and Metro when they are in a sale.

Re: Critically Panned MindsEye Makes Surprising Debut in First Sales Report
@ThomasHL On Amazon, it sold more than 900 this past month on PS5, and Xbox more than 200. Could be on the lower end like you say though.

@belmont Afraid so! I want it on Switch and Switch 2 as well, so it's an expensive one for me.
