Really, nobody?

Well, it will be me then: Ridge Racer, a release title iirc (I did not own a PS1, but a 64 and later a PC). Fresh out of the arcades, it was super impressive to see something akin to Daytona in a home console. Pretty cool stuff and Namco's System 22 was amazing for its time.

Yeah, having ports of arcade games like RR and Tekken was definitely a plus for anyone looking to buy PS1- but then again, if you already had PC, Daytona USA was ported to it in 96.
