Play Rock n' Roll Racing (Europe) on sega Online

Game Overview

Rock n’ Roll Racing is one of those games that makes you wonder why more racers don’t let you shoot missiles at your friends. You pick a driver—I always went with Tarquin because, come on, that name—and then it’s just pure chaos: dodging lava pits on some alien planet while Deep Purple’s "Highway Star" blares in the background. The commentator loses his mind every time someone takes the lead, which happens about every three seconds.

What’s wild is that Blizzard made this before they were known for orcs and elves. The split-screen multiplayer turns into absolute madness, especially when someone upgrades to the hovercar and starts cheesing the jumps. Half the fun is hearing Black Sabbath riffs cut through the explosions. It’s janky in that perfect early ‘90s way, but good luck putting it down once you start.

If you’ve got a Genesis collecting dust, this is the game that’ll make you blow the cartridge and try again.
