About Rock n' Roll Racing
The game pits four racers against each other, with up to two of them being player-controlled and the rest being AI opponents. Each race consists of four laps around tracks viewed from an isometric perspective, which enables players to discern the presence of frequent sloping sections spread throughout the game's various tracks. In addition to navigating the turns, racers must also maneuver hills and dips without falling or jumping over the guard rail at the track's edge.

A rock-soundtracked combat racer that sits among the pricier US carts.
Blizzard Entertainment developed this vehicular combat racer and Interplay Productions published it for the Genesis. It reached North America in November 1994 and Europe on 2 December 1994. The soundtrack uses uncredited rock and metal songs, including Paranoid and Highway Star, and the Genesis version includes Radar Love. Progress is saved with passwords given out at the start of each racing season.
What the press said at the time
“The less-than-superior graphics and sounds, however, keep it from taking the checkered flag.”
How the Sega Genesis version differs
The Genesis version alone among the original releases adds Radar Love by Golden Earring to the soundtrack.
Also on other platforms
Super NES · Game Boy Advance · Nintendo Switch · PlayStation 4 · Windows · Xbox One · 3DO
| Super NES | Silicon & Synapse |
- Game Boy Advance. The Game Boy Advance version saves progress to an EEPROM chip instead of using passwords.
- 3DO. A 3DO version was announced for E3 1995 but never released.
Before you buy
Among US carts this is one of the dearer ones, well above the median. The European cart usually costs noticeably less than the US one, loose and complete. A complete US copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
