Dream on. Ridge Racer used to be the series that officially kicked off each successive console generation, but Bandai Namco has put the franchise out to pasture in recent years – the last mainline entry was Ridge Racer Unbounded, released back in 2012.

Here we are with another shout out for this classic game called Castlevania, as I have been informed through Facebook, that Thelen is still working on a pretty stunning looking Castlevania game for the Atari XL/XE VBXE called Catslevania.
