Rough Racer is an arcade game released by Sega for Sega System 24 hardware in 1990. It is a top-down driving game in which players race around a track. Wheel and shield upgrades can be purchased with the players' winnings, as can nitro boosters.

The game is similar to Atari's Sprint series, but more colorful. Like racing games in the 1980s such as Hot Rod and Power Drift (released in 1988), the goal is to finish 3rd or better. When the next race begins, a fifth racer is added to try to sabotage the game and make the challenge even harder (sometimes disguised as road equipment). Later on in the game, the player will not be able to advance to the next stage if he or she does not finish in 1st place. There are 10 tracks in the game, each with their own theme.
