Road Rash

The gameplay involves overtaking opponents while navigating through regular roads with normal traffic, cops, oil slicks, and stray cows. Winning races earns promotions to stronger divisions and cash to purchase better bikes. However, losing control of the bike results in running back to it, wasting time and causing damage. Getting caught by cops can lead to being busted and forfeiting the race.

The game features arcade-like gameplay with no simulation intention, and a two-player mode where players take turns.
