In this issue, the main focus seems to be a “snow festival”, which appears to be a general snow gear convention. The really interesting thing though to me, is that I always thought of Alpine Racer, and more accurately their skiers having a certain clothing style that was exclusive to the game. As in, Namco developers just picked “skier clothes”, and called it a day.
However, this snow festival shows that this is precisely how skiers dressed at the time!
There’s also a couple pages on Rave Racer, which is a really good game! It’s too bad it never got a real home release. There was some of its DNA that made its way home via Rage Racer for PlayStation, as well as some of the soundtrack coming out later in other Ridge Racer games, but this remains a special game if you have a means to play it.
Also, did you know Namco published games for Windows 95? There’s The Psychotron and Quantum Gate I, both of which seems like haggard FMV titles, and both have been preserved in Redump and viewable on YouTube. Care to have a try?

Q. What is Wonder Spirits – namco presents i/o?
Coming off a successful 27-volume series of Namco Game Sound Express, Namco set out to further release a set of 18 soundtracks for their arcadereleases at the time (1997-1998). As I worked at a Namco arcade in Boston from 1997-1998, I’m very, very interested in these.
Within Pony Canyon distribution, a famous Japanese record label, lies an imprint/sub-label named Wonder Spirits, the majority of which were these late 90’s Namco arcade game soundtracks (an even small imprint/sub-label, namco presents i/o).
This collection will include just the Namco arcade game soundtracks on this record label. There is an exceedingly strange assortment of other games with soundtrack releases on the rest of the label, which will not be included here as this sub-label clearly dominates the output.
Q. What makes these discs special?
Out of the 18 releases, 5 of them have a special data track, containing interviews, videos, and information about the game. Most of the assets can be accessed from any computer, but the full experience requires a Windows 95 computer with Macromedia Flash and Quicktime 2.1 These so called “Enhanced Discs” are denoted with “EX” in the title, and a “Made with Macromedia” logo on the Obi. Not only are the games fairly rare in some cases, some of them are so small time that it’s amazing a physically-pressed CD collection of soundtracks for them exists.Q. What are you doing for preservation?
Aside from ripping FLAC, Log 100%, including the best scans I can make at the time, I’m also submitting the discs’ information to Redump.org, which catalogs and preserves physical media.By dumping these discs, like I have done for Namco Game Sound Express, there is now a group of people who have a bin/cue copy of the album, which is a byte-for-byte dump of the disc. There’s no loss, no compression, just the full disc recordings. If the entire torrent-sphere blew up, with all the copies of the FLAC rips, one could get the disc image from Redump.org, and make your own (Logless) rips, lossy or lossless. The disc is truly preserved.
My goal is to preserve all 18 discs.
Status of Wonder Spits preservation – March 2022
Only Rapid River remains, if you have an original physical copy, please get in touch!
