The original arcade version of Ridge Racer comes to modern-day systems today thanks to the Arcade Archives range, and gives players a taste of 1993's most groundbreaking coin-op.

Famously ported to the PS1 at the close of 1994, Ridge Racer was one of the first 3D racing games to use texture mapping, giving players a believable world to drive around.

The game's working title has now been revealed, and it's perfectly apt, given the technological strides it made at the time: Texture Drive.

As noted by ohfivepro on BlueSky, this appears to be the first time that Ridge Racer's working title has been revealed.
