Road Rash 64 brings the chaotic, high-speed motorcycle combat of the classic series to the Nintendo 64. Released in 1999 by THQ, this vehicular brawler throws you into ruthless street races where crossing the finish line first matters just as much as surviving the journey. Players must navigate winding roads and oncoming traffic while fighting off rival bikers with an assortment of weapons ranging from nightsticks to pool cues.
How to Play
Your objective is to place in the top ranks of each race to earn cash, upgrade your bike, and unlock new tiers of competition. Use your keyboard’s arrow keys to steer your motorcycle, and the mapped N64 action buttons to accelerate, brake, and launch attacks. You can punch and kick by default, but picking up weapons during the race significantly increases your damage and reach.
Tips
- Steal their gear: You don’t start with the best weapons. Time your attacks carefully to knock weapons out of your opponents’ hands and snatch them for yourself.
- Watch the intersections: Cross-traffic is one of the biggest hazards on the map. Keep an eye out for oncoming cars and buses at major junctions to avoid a race-ending wipeout.
- Jam the spokes: If you acquire a solid weapon like a pool cue or crowbar, you can occasionally jam it into a rival’s front wheel for an instant, devastating crash.
