In the letter, a reader named Mr T Webb from Portsmouth argues that the games industry isn't sexist, claiming that girls aged 14โ18 are more interested in "boys and looking good" than "gruelling" games like Resident Evil. Below the letter, the editor provides a biting rebuttal, stating, "Maybe you're not meeting enough girls then, Mr T," and noting that Resident Evil is actually one of the most popular games among the magazine's female readers.
"When the two women wrote in complaining about the games industry being sexist, it's their fault for thinking that way."
Enjoy this pure distillation of gamer culture from the January 2002 issue of PSM2.
Am I the only one who ever wonders why Capcom never closed the loop with a sequel called Goblins โN Ghouls?

So who is the mystery Rave Racer girl?
Well, Namco never named her. They continue to say as much in the rereleases of the PSP Ridge Racers. However, fans in 1995 called her Rave Reiko (tentative) / ใฌใคใใฌใคๅญ(ไปฎ), which is the name Gamest used when she placed 20th in their '95 Best Character Awards

Wildran joined the Viewpoint team as a ~co-director and created a more detailed design doc than had existed previously.
He wanted to create an opening featuring a female character, but it didn't fit with the music or the game's universe, so he abandoned the idea (but would reuse it in Blazing Star).
It was like I was watching myself on TV from across the room.
