Revolutionary Concepts has done it again. After their excellent port of the Japanese laserdisc game Cobra Command, they have come out with a port of Road Blaster. This one is a fast-paced driving game from 1985, wherein you play the role of a driver who lost his wife to a cruel gang (which owns fleets of vehicles), and now seeks vengeance at any cost.
We here at Dadisajoke are running a video series on Atari arcade games that need to get the recharged treatment for the new Atari VCS.
This game brings back lot of memories of drunken nights, trying to get a high score. Now it's time for RoadBlasters to get a modern facelift and a rocking sound track!
Played this all the time on the NES. Almost feels like a hidden gem as I hardly ever see it talked about.
There was a convenience store with this arcade cabinet. I rode my bike across town just to play every weekend. Good memories of this game.
I suggested to Playground Games that this should be horizon dlc. Loved it in the arcade and on my Lynx
AppSpy - Road Blaster for the App Store is a solid adaption of a classic arcade game and arguably better for the transition even despite its unforgiving gameplay and lack of in game help.
Revolutionary Concepts brings Data East’s old school FMV title to the iPhone, and proves that this retro, 2D video game can still wow with its anime-filled artwork.
