Summary

Road Avenger drops you into a frantic first‑person chase where every split‑second decision keeps the pre‑rendered footage rolling. The game leans on quick reflexes: green arrows flash beside the crosshair, beeping cues tell you when to swerve, brake, or hit the turbo boost, and you must thread your car through snarling traffic and exploding wrecks. Nine high‑octane stages test your timing, and after each run you get a reaction‑time grade that feels oddly satisfying for a rail‑shooter. If you crave a tougher ride, Hard Mode strips away the on‑screen icons and tones, forcing you to rely purely on instinct. The whole experience is a polished relic of Data East’s laser‑disc arcade roots, with Toei Animation’s full‑motion video giving the chase a cinematic sheen that still earns nods from retro reviewers—90% on GameRankings, five stars from GamePro, and a solid 86% from Electronic Games.

Storyline

Road Avenger (also known as Road Blaster) drops you into the late‑1990s United States as a lone vigilante. After his wife is murdered by a biker gang on their honeymoon, he survives his own injuries and begins a personal war. He upgrades a customized sports car and sets out on a rampage across nine distinct areas. The game’s focus is a relentless chase through desert highways, urban wreckage, and industrial zones. Ultimately, the player tracks down the gang’s female boss to exact the final revenge.
