Road Blasters (ロードブラスターズ) is an arcade game developed by Atari Games which was brought to, among other consoles, the Sega Mega Drive in 1991. It was not released in Europe.

Gameplay

In Road Blasters, you drive a car armed with various weapons, and need to travel across various tracks shooting enemy cars while avoiding obstacles without running out of fuel. Players can crash as often as they like, but this will also lead to a loss of fuel, so it is not recommended. The car automatically accelerates, and fires.
