RoadBlasters classic retro gaming NES FC

 

RoadBlasters is a classic arcade racing game released by Atari Games in 1987. It was designed by Hal Canon, programmed by Robert Weatherby, and featured a unique combination of racing and vehicular combat.

In RoadBlasters, players control a futuristic sports car armed with various weapons and gadgets. The objective is to navigate through a series of treacherous tracks while battling enemy vehicles and avoiding obstacles. The game is set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, and the tracks are filled with hazards such as mines, oil slicks, and enemy fire.

One of the distinctive features of RoadBlasters is the fuel management system. The player's car consumes fuel as it moves, and running out of fuel results in the game ending. To replenish fuel, players can either pick up fuel globes scattered throughout the tracks or destroy enemy vehicles to collect fuel pods.

RoadBlasters also features a wide array of weapons that can be used to take out enemy vehicles. These include machine guns, missiles, and special power-ups like the "zapper" which can clear the entire screen of enemies.

The game received positive reviews upon its release for its fast-paced gameplay, challenging tracks, and unique combination of racing and vehicular combat. It was ported to various home gaming platforms, including the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), Sega Genesis, and Atari Lynx.

RoadBlasters remains a beloved classic among retro gaming enthusiasts and is often remembered for its blend of action, strategy, and arcade-style racing mechanics.
