RoadBlasters on NES is this weirdly satisfying mix of racing and shooting where you’re basically a demolition derby driver with a machine gun strapped to your hood. You pick one of three tracks—each with its own vibe—and then it’s just you, a fuel gauge that drains way too fast, and a bunch of other cars begging to be turned into scrap metal.

You’re constantly juggling between blasting enemies and swerving to grab fuel pickups, because running empty means instant game over. And yeah, clipping a barrier or another car turns you into a fireball immediately, which feels harsh but keeps you on your toes. The colors pop nicely for an NES game, and there’s something weirdly addictive about chaining kills for points while your engine screams down the road. It’s not perfect, but it’s got that old-school arcade charm where every crash makes you groan and immediately hit start again.
