Road Rash in Japanese (ロードラッシュ - Rōdo rasshu), is a remake of the version of Sega Genesis, a wild action game where the player is in a car (plus a motorcycle), developed by New Software and Monkey Do. Productions, published by Electronic Arts in America, Europe and Japan in mid-1994 for the REAL 3DO Interactive Multiplayer.

Of the original version if they have not tried it, it will compete against 13 other Road Rashers who will stop at nothing to win. During the race, you have two options: you can do your best to cross the finish line, or if the Rushers cause you trouble, use your weapon to shoot them down. Do the latter and your opponent will do the same to you in the next match.

This remake improved the visual quality to a full 3D but with sprites in 2D but having the essence of the version of Sega Genesis and Sega CD which were almost equal, improved the way the controls are used, with a very interesting 3D effect in the era that was launched.

Their music is a mixture of unbridled rock as it was essentially the base game, it had very good reception but as it had been released in the 3DO, it was decided to port it to PlayStation, Microsoft Windows, Sega Saturn and a re-play in Nintendo 64.

Another similar game was Crash 'N' Burn (3DO) only that this was with cars and was not developed by Electronics Arts if not by Crystal Dynamics equal for the 3DO.

Road Rash games are known for their arcade-style gameplay that combines motorcycle racing with combat elements. Players race against opponents on various tracks while being able to kick, punch, and use weapons to attack opponents. The goal is to win races while dealing with the challenges posed by both the track layout and the other riders.

Players could choose from a range of motorcycles, each with its own set of attributes like speed and handling. Additionally, players could pick up weapons during races to use against opponents, which added an element of strategy and chaos to the gameplay.
