Together Retro: Road Rash

Post by dsheinem »

Who's playing? What port?

I've never spent time with anything but the Genesis and Game Gear ports myself, but for this month I am interested in checking out the Game Boy one also. Anyone planning to play other entries in the series as well?

I've heard very good things about the 3DO version, so anyone with a 3DO should check that one out.

That's not the original game. This is the problem with naming reboots with the same title (see also: Tomb Raider (2013)). You can play Road Rash 3DO, of course - but it isn't the game of focus for the month.

Sorry, thought this was more generally about the whole series as opposed to just the first game. :oops:

Road Rash 3DO isn't a remake, nor is it the original game, you're right. I'm pretty sure the Saturn one is a port of the 3DO one though, and IIRC the 3DO one is considered superior.

I have the Genesis version, so that'll probably be the one I play.

Early to the party. Beat Road Rash on the Genesis not too long ago.

Could always use this as an excuse to fire up one of the sequels.

Sure I'll play.
I'm still not sure whether I'm a kid or a squid now.

I have never played the original. Is it in a compilation disc, or was it included in any of the later version of the game?
