Rock n' Roll Racing (USA) on Genesis

Rock n' Roll Racing is a vehicular combat-based racing game that hit SEGA Genesis in 1994. It was developed by Silicon & Synapse (the studio that would later become Blizzard Entertainment) and published by Interplay Productions. The name comes from its heavy metal and rock soundtrack, which includes licensed tracks from bands like Black Sabbath and Deep Purple. This is the official USA release for the Genesis, a port of the 1993 SNES original.

How to Play Rock n' Roll Racing (USA) Online

Your goal is to win races while blowing up opponents. At the start, you pick a driver and a car with different stats. Each race is a lap-based circuit viewed from a top-down angle. You steer with the D-pad, accelerate automatically, and use weapons and power-ups to destroy rival racers. You earn cash based on your finishing position and how many enemies you wreck.

After each race you can visit the shop to upgrade your vehicle's engine, tires, armor, weapons, and more. The core loop is: race, earn money, upgrade, and take on tougher tracks. New to the series? Focus on staying on the track while using your weapons strategically. The manual brake is not essential but helps in tight turns. Destroyed racers respawn quickly, so keep moving.
