Ace Driver is a 1994 Namco arcade racer built on the System 22 hardware, following Ridge Racer into the company's polygonal racing era. Unlike Ridge Racer, it never received a home console release — making its 2026 arrival in Hamster's Arcade Archives line its first official appearance outside the arcade.
