Road Rash

Road Rash (ロードラッシュ) for the original Sony PlayStation. Developed and published by Electronic Arts (distributed in Japan via EA Victor), it made its roaring retail debut on Japanese store shelves on March 22, 1996.

Electronic Arts completely tears up the standard racing blueprint to deliver a relentlessly aggressive, adrenaline-fueled masterpiece of high-speed vehicular combat with Road Rash on the PlayStation. Players mount high-performance superbikes, blasting down long-distance Californian coastal highways, neon city grids, and rural mountain tracks while fighting to clear checkpoints ahead of a ruthless swarm of rival riders. Victory hinges entirely on your willingness to fight dirty; you must master real-time brawling momentum to punch, kick, and swing heavy metal chains or clubs mid-race to forcefully send opponents crashing into oncoming civilian traffic or roadside structures.

Showcasing pristine 3D texture mapping, incredibly smooth scaling physics, and a chart-topping grunge soundtrack featuring licensed tracks from Soundgarden and Monster Magnet, this iconic leather-and-asphalt classic delivers a definitive, white-knuckle arcade thrill for vintage collectors.
