Road Rash
The original Road Rash was a pure distillation of arcade mayhem, a motorcycle racer where fists were as important as speed. Its core loop of brutal combat, bike upgrades, and police evasion was simple, but the thrill of decking a rival at 100mph was unlike anything else. The game's legacy lives on in the many titles that have tried to replicate the feeling of high-speed violence, the moment-to-moment tension of avoiding a cop while trying to knock someone off their bike.
