Roadblasters is a simple racing game, the object of which is to get to the finish line before running out of fuel. Along the way, you "blast" other road users to increase your score, which in turn increases your fuel reserve for the next level. Dotted along the road are fuel dumps which can be collected, and sometimes exploded cars leave behind fuel to collect

Graphics: 1
The graphics are very poor compared to the arcade original. Although chunky and colourful, they fail to portray what any racing game must - SPEED. 10mph looks exactly like 200 in this game, and at certain speeds, the road stops altogether! Only the approach of a corner gives the illusion of movement! So although screen dumps may look impressive. It is actually very very poor indeed.

Sound: 7
Sound is pretty good. Beepy tunes, and nice engine noises.

Gameplay: 2
The graphics completely ruin this game. 5 minutes is enough

Overall: 2
Poor

Those expecting a good conversion will be sorely dissapointed
