Road Fighter

Road Fighter turns the simple pleasure of driving very fast into a compact arcade challenge. The objective is straightforward: race along the road, avoid obstacles and traffic, and try to maintain as much speed as possible without turning your vehicle into an expensive collection of spare parts. The controls are easy to understand, but maintaining a good pace requires concentration and quick reactions. Its retro presentation keeps the action clear and focused, making every approaching obstacle immediately important. There is no elaborate career mode or complicated vehicle management getting in the way; the road is right there, and you are expected to drive on it rather quickly. Road Fighter is therefore an ideal little game for short sessions and anyone who thinks braking is sometimes merely a suggestion.
