RoadBlasters for Nintendo NES was one of the treasures I took home from the Classic Gaming Expo. This isn’t the first time I’ve owned the game as I remember buying it new when it first came out.
The game is a port of an arcade game and can best be described as rad racer with guns (or can be considered a point of view version of SpyHunter with fuel challenges). You have a rally point you must meet prior to running out of fuel. You can pick up green or orange orbs that will give you more fuel. A weapons… jet… will supply you with upgrades.
Some of the upgrades include an ‘UZI’ which is just a rapidfire machine gun. Cruise Missles vaporizes everything on the screen included the armor cars. There is also a turbo upgrade which temporarily increases the speed of the car.
As long as you complete each rally with some reserve fuel you’ll continue to the next stage. When using your gun your point multiplier will increase as long as you don’t miss your enemies. You can only go up to x10 which rewards you with 10,000 bonus at the end of the rally.
RoadBlasters is a sound arcade port. Some of the enemy cars are a little drab but the speed of the game makes up for it.
