So some other anons have said that all these Ridge Racer Full Scale machines have been destroyed or lost. Is this true? It made me really curious. I spent about 2 hours reading about them.

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the idea of all them being gone. How can they all be gone? There was around 50 to 100 of them made. I mean the 1990s was only 25 years ago. We have arcade machines from the 1970s and 1980s still around. It doesn't make sense to me. Surely Japan still some.

To be clear I'm not obsessed with this game. I'm disturbed by the "lost media" aspect of the story. I just don't get it. There has to be 1 or 2 machines still around somewhere in the world. Surely Namco kept 1 in storage somewhere.

What's the freaking point of lusting over a "beta version" of a game that's already been released? You can still play the retail version.

The gaming community should be concerned over REAL lost media. Do you have any idea how many arcade games and arcade machines have been lost? All machines have been scrapped and many games not dumped. You will never be able to play any version of Ridge Racer Full Scale. They don't exist in arcades anymore or anywhere in the world.

There are also hundreds of not a few thousand arcade games that were released in Japan only. Games that only sold a few hundred before being lost to time. Only a handful of collectors in Japan still have the arcade boards and they aren't sharing or dumping them.

Because it was an awesome arcade game for 1993.

You would know this if you were actually alive during that time.
