RoadBlasters Genesis
Game Information
The object of the game is to complete all 50 rallies without running out of fuel. There is no limit to how many vehicles a player can receive to complete a rally, as long as they have fuel. However, the destruction of the vehicle will subtract a small amount from the player's fuel tank. In the arcade, Genesis and Lynx versions, players could start the game at a higher rally, with additional opportunities to jump several levels from time to time. Players can continue their game from where they left off, however the player has only one chance to complete the 50th and final rally. For completing the final rally the player gets one million points as bonus.

Additional Information
As if the enemies weren't enough, you'll also have to swerve to avoid mines and toxic spills, causing your vehicle to spin out whenever you run over them. Fortunately, you have some offensive firepower of your own to help you get to that Rally Point in one piece. Not only is your vehicle outfitted with machine guns, but it has the capability of supporting four special weapons dropped by an airship.
These include U.Z. Cannons (rapid fire guns), Electro Shields (protects vehicle from damage), Nitro Injectors (boosts your speed to 298 mph) and Cruise Missiles (destroys everything in their path). RoadBlasters is divided into twelve regions, each spanning multiple stages, for a total of fifty races. Points are earned through destroying enemies, with bonus multipliers awarded for being accurate, while fuel is maintained by driving over green and red globes along the track.
Players have five lives to make it through as many races as they can; each time they run out of fuel before crossing the Rally Point, they'll lose one car. If the game sounds familiar, then it probably is: RoadBlasters for the Genesis is a translation of Atari Games' 1987 coin-op game of the same name.
