Poll Ridge Racer vs Daytona (12 votes)

Ridge Racer 50%
Daytona 50%

I am over 20 years late on this one but I'm interested in seeing people's opinions. I absolutely loved these 2 games growing up. Their graphics for that time was simply amazing. At the arcades in London (Trocadero and Sega World) they had the 8 player Daytona with the actual cars and wheels. The queue to play was massive, about 20-35 folks lined up. Ridge Racer had only 3 cars and the queue was a lot smaller, about 5-7 people. I had a PS1 and eventually got Ridge Racer on that, so I guess I became to appreciate it more than Daytona.

They just don't make Racers like they used to but anyway, which game do you prefer? and share your childhood stories about them. How you discovered them etc.

Oops. Clicked on Ridge Racer by mistake and just threw your poll into total chaos. Sorry about that.

If someone who was going to vote Ridge Racer should read this first, please vote for Daytona to get this poll back on the right track and avoid the possibility of our world sliding into complete chaos and total disorder because of my errant vote. Thanks a bunch.

Arcade Daytona was awesome. Best was when you found an arcade that had the 4 to 8 player set up. Wasn't big on RR because I liked my racers to lean on the sim side back then. These days I prefer an arcade style racer though.

Ridge Racer series is better in my opinion. And the best version was on the 3DS!

Always hated Ridge Racer, it failed as a racing game and it failed as an Arcade game for me.

Daytona was fun in the Arcades, especially when multiple machines were connected!

Daytona multiplayer in the arcades was the best, the music, the controls, the crazy physics ...lol
