Road Fighter (set 1)
Konami • 1984


Road Fighter puts two players in high-speed racing competition against a scrolling backdrop. Maneuver your car through increasingly challenging courses filled with rival vehicles while managing your fuel supply. A distinctive feature of this Konami title is that collisions with opponents don't result in lost lives, instead demanding skillful counter-steering to regain control – a unique mechanic for its time. Successfully navigating the course involves dodging traffic and strategically collecting bonus cars to replenish fuel and earn points. Skilled players can attempt to achieve even greater rewards by avoiding all contact with enemies or triggering special appearances from Konamiman, a train, or an airplane through prolonged periods of clean driving. Released in 1984 as Konami’s first foray into the racing genre, Road Fighter offers a fast-paced and engaging experience for two players seeking a retro arcade challenge.
