A well-received Genesis Road Rash and one of the pricier US carts.
Road Rash 3 was developed by Monkey Do Productions and published by Electronic Arts. It is the last Road Rash game to be released for the Genesis, and critics received it well. It came out in North America in March 1995 and Europe on 11 March 1995.
Development began when series programmer Dan Geisler, frustrated with Michael Jordan: Chaos in the Windy City, offered to make a new Road Rash instead. Marketing wanted a big new feature, so artist Michael Hulme suggested worldwide settings. GamePro readers voted it second-best 16-bit racing game of all time, behind Super Mario Kart.
