Road Blaster is a 1985 FMV arcade game developed by Data East and Toei Animation. Wolf Team ported it to the Sega Mega-CD in 1992, calling it Road Avenger in the US and Europe and Road Blaster FX (ロードブラスターＦＸ) in Japan. It was also brought to the Pioneer LaserActive and released under the Sega Mega LD format. This version is called Road Prosecutor in North America and is exceptionally rare.

It was later bundled with Cobra Command in the Sega Saturn game Thunderstorm & Road Blaster and ported to iOS by gmode, the company who bought Data East's intellectual property after their bankruptcy.
