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?
