Notes - This game is insane. I couldn’t beat it when I was little, and I can barely beat it now. It is so much fun for the first three levels, but then it becomes a pain in the arse. The music, style, graphics, and controls are all really good. The challenge of the game is quite welcome at first. It really pushes you to make you want to beat it. But unfortunately you have to rely on luck just too many times, for example when turning blind corners which may or may not be hiding oncoming vehicles. I’m glad I beat this, even if I did have to reload a few codes due to gameovers. I’m looking forward to trying out Road Rash II. Hopefully it will be a little bit easier than this game.
State when Playing - Fine
