Developed by Taito Corporation and published by THQ, Ray Tracers arrived on the PlayStation in 1997 as a racing game.
It landed about 2 years into the PS1's life. Other notable PS1 releases from 1997 include Grand Theft Auto, Final Fantasy VII and Duke Nukem 3D.
Taito Corporation also made Puzzle Bobble 2 and RayCrisis for the PS1.
This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.
Pick it if…
- you want to race and compete
- you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
- you've played the PS1 hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you want a story or exploration rather than laps
- you are looking for something to play with friends

Racing games range from realistic driving to kart racers with weapons and shortcuts. Races are short, making them great for quick sessions and split-screen rivalries.
Tip for newcomers: Learn each track's racing line and braking points; in kart racers, item strategy matters as much as driving.
