Overview and Gameplay
Armed highways replace ordinary racing in RoadBlasters, the 1991 Genesis conversion of Atari Games’ 1987 arcade title. Drive through 50 rallies, destroy enemy cars and roadside weapons, dodge mines and slick hazards, and reach each finish before fuel runs out. Green and red fuel globes, checkpoint refills, and accurate shooting help extend each run, while crashes and delays reduce the margin for survival.
