"16" Namco System 22 games tested on MAME 0.240 (Arcade Classics)

The Namco System 22 is the successor to the Namco System 21 arcade system board. It debuted in 1992 with Sim Drive in Japan, followed by a worldwide debut in 1993 with Ridge Racer.
The System 22 was designed by Namco with assistance from graphics & simulation company Evans & Sutherland. Graphical features include texture mapping, Gouraud shading, transparency effects, and depth cueing, thanks to the Evans & Sutherland 'TR3' chip/chipset, which stands for: Texture Mapping, Real-Time, Real-Visual, Rendering System. The main CPU provides a scene description to the TR3 graphics processing unit and a bank of DSP chips which perform 3D calculations.
A variant of the system, called the Super System 22, was released in 1995. The hardware was largely similar to the System 22, but with a slightly higher polygon rate and more special effects possible

Nowadays, it seems developers just license the same 4 engines over and over and it's noticeable in the games. Back then each developer would literally write whole new engines with their own coding. Which is why each developer stood out, their games all had unique flavor. Not just templates used on everything.

5:50 If this game is exclusive to Japan only... Then... Why is the voice acting and some of the inscriptions in ENGLISH? Do Japanese people not understand Japanese? It's as stupid as writing - This game is US only and voice it in Japanese...

[@rgerber]

[@jayden6538]
