Strap on your helmet, kickstart your bike, and get ready to shove your opponent into oncoming traffic! Road Rash blends the thrilling speed of motorcycle road racing with the no-holds-bared excitement and danger of a street fight. Non-stop action from start to finish - avoid angry motorists and fight off attacks from your fellow racers. The racing is unsanctioned, unofficial, unnerving, and certainly unlawful.

Stiff-arming, side kicks, and the occasional crowbar or chain laid across the ol' visor will do much to help you win the race, so long as you find time to pay attention to the road as well. A fun racing game in the Mad Max mold which spawned two sequels on the Genesis and more on other platforms, as well as a host of imitators and one derivation - Skitchin'.

Hit the streets on your super bike and prepare for no-holds-barred motorcycle street racing where rules as well as fellow bikers are made to be broken.

Road Rash lets you take on fifteen of the meanest, nastiest rashers on the road through five difficulty levels, each level containing five tracks.

Robin Hood is an action game where you need to rescue Maid Marian who is being held by the Sheriff of Nottingham in a castle (and while you're at it, steal some gold to give to the poor)! Game play takes place on several different screens which have different objectives. First you will need to make your way through Sherwood Forest; numerous henchman are hiding here, so use your arrows to shoot them. Surviving the forest, the next section takes place outside of the castle; naturally, numerous henchman guard the castle gate. While dodging incoming arrows, you need to shoot enough of the henchman to cause the gate to open. Once it opens, you can enter the castle for the final scene. Inside the castle you will be able to find Maid Marian behind one of the many doors, and gold behind another. The rest of the doors have henchman hiding behind them, but if you can find the Maid Marian or the gold then you win this round and the game repeats at a tougher skill level.

The hero of Sherwood Forest battles his way through four screens to the sheriff's castle to rescue Maid Marion and steal the gold!

Hurry and save Marion from the clutches of the evil Sheriff. Battle through the catacombs of Nottingham Castle in your quest, overcoming vast quantities of mazes, traps and platforms. Conquer the dwarves, vampire bats and the fire-breathing gargoyle.

First, you must battle cutthroat guards and escape the Saracen dungeon where you, your friend, Peter Dubois, and your new companion, the mysterious, but loyal, Azeem, are held prisoners of the Crusades. Back in England, you'll explore the treacherous Sherwood Forest where you'll muster your band: Little John, Friar Tuck and Will Scarlett. But remember, they will only follow you if you prove yourself worthy enough to lead them, rescue the lovely Maid Marian and free England from tyranny.

England is in trouble.

Rocket J. Squirrel (otherwise known as Rocky) and Bullwinkle J. Moose were enjoying a lovely day in Frostbite Falls, Minnesota when they received a telegram. Apparently, an uncle of Bullwinkle's was an earl in England and, having just passed away, willed the title to our favorite cartoon moose. If he can make it to England, Bullwinkle will be the Earl of Moosechester. However, the no-goodnicks Boris and Natasha plan to do everything they can to stop him. They are even going to impersonate him and try to steal the inheritance. Boris and Natasha must be stopped!

As both Rocky and Bullwinkle, you'll make your way to the Abominable Mansion in England to claim your inheritance. As Rocky you can fly, and you can charge as Bullwinkle. Pick up bombs along the way, but watch out for the ones Boris and Natasha throw, including Goof-Gas bombs! The Goof-Gas bombs will reverse your controls so that nothing works as it should. Find some Moose Juice and hearts along to the way to restore lost health, and gain an extra life by getting a designated number of points. Once you have completed all five levels, your game will be over, and you, Bullwinkle J. Moose, will be the Earl of Moosechester.

Hey, Rocky! Boris and Natasha are up to their usual tricks, and we gotta do something - don't we? Based on the classic animated TV series.

Yet another example of a wonderful cartoon that was warped into a lame platform game. That's a shame, because you can tell that the programmers' hearts were there - but not their heads, sadly. Forget the game and watch the videos instead.

Rod-Land is a cute and colourful platform game for one or two players in which two fairy sisters - 'Tam' and 'Rit' - must rescue their kidnapped mother from the 'Maboots Tower' fortress.

The fairies are armed with the 'Rods of Sheesanomo' - two magical rods that enable the fairies to catch enemies in a force-field and slam them into the platforms to kill them - and must clear each level of enemies to move onto the next and eventually reach and infiltrate the Tower.

As well as the magical rods used for attacking enemies, the fairies can also create a magical ladder - in a fashion very similar to that used in Taito's "Rainbow islands" - which can be utilised anywhere on a level and allows players to reach other platforms or escape from pursuing enemies. Each player can utilise only one magically-created ladder at any one time and the creation of a new ladder removes the previously-created one.

A level is only completed when all enemies have been killed. Some defeated enemies drop bonus items, such as fruit, missiles and bombs.

Each of the game's levels features brightly coloured flowers. If players manage to collect all of these, the 'Extra Game' mode begins. During this time-limited mode all of the level's enemies turn red and move much faster. If the enemies are killed in time, they drop an alphabetic letter that can be collected to spell the word 'EXTRA' and earn players an extra life.

Rod-Land is an Action game, developed and published by Jaleco Entertainment, which was released in 1990.

The player(s) control one or two fairies called Tam and Rit armed with a magic wand (rod). Following the concept of Taito's Bubble Bobble, the rod doesn't kill the monsters directly, but only leaves them immobilized crying. To kill them, the rod can grasp them in a magic force-field and the player can smash them down over her head until they disappear and leave a power-up behind.

Rod Land, known in Japan as Yousei Monogatari, is a 1990 arcade game originally developed and published by Jaleco. It was ported to the gameboy in 1993

The player(s) control one or two fairies called Tam and Rit armed with a magic wand (rod).

To kill them, the rod can grasp them in a magic force-field and the player can smash them down over her head until they disappear and leave a power-up behind.

Each level is only one small screen composed of monsters, platforms, ladders and, later, tunnels. Unlike other games of the genre, the players can never jump, but have to use ladders. They can conjure one custom ladder above or below them in order to go to the appropriate platform. There can be only one such 'custom' ladder; therefore if the fairy summons it again, it will disappear from its previous position in order to appear again next to the fairy. This can be beneficial for the player, if a monster is climbing that ladder to approach her.

The fairies' quest is to rescue their mother, trapped in a tower. In the sequel (part of the original arcade machine) they must venture into a pyramid, to stop an evil force that is building a mobile fortress. The spirit of their departed father "guides" them at a couple of points.

Rolling Thunder is the worlds most powerful secret police force, and you are its best agent. Your mission is to stop an underground conspiracy to conquer the world, and to save agent Leila who has been captured. Starting out armed only with a handgun, you have to make your way though heavily guarded hallways and secret passages to find Leila and stop the enemy. Rolling Thunder features side scrolling action based on the arcade game.

Rolling Thunder is a single-player scrolling platform shoot-em-up in which a James Bond-esque secret agent codenamed 'Albatross' has been ordered by the Rolling Thunder anti-espionage unit to stop the criminal organization known as Geldra. Albatross must also rescue captured field agent, Lelia Blitz and overthrow Geldra's leader, Maboo.

Rolling Thunder's gameplay takes place on two levels of platforms, with the player able to jump or drop to platforms as and when required. Albatross begins the game armed with only a standard-issue pistol and a limited amount of ammunition. If the pistol's ammunition runs out, the player can only fire a single slow "chaser" bullet - with only one allowed on-screen at any one time - until more ammo is acquired.

Each level is littered with doors; most of these contain constantly emerging enemies and must be carefully passed; some, however, also provide ammunition and new weapons. Ammo rooms are clearly marked while weapons rooms have re-enforced metal doors. A weapons room gives the player a fully automatic assault rifle that allows for continuous firing by holding down the shoot button. As with the pistol, the assault rifle has a limited amount of ammunition.

The majority of Rolling Thunder's protagonists are hooded soldiers known as "Maskers". Maskers are dressed in various colors, which determines both their strength and attack pattern. Some Maskers do not shoot, but throw grenades instead, while others will shoot their gun while crouching, making their shots much harder to avoid.

Other enemies includes ninjas, mutated bats known as Gelzos, panthers, shrieking yellow creatures known as Blogas and lava men.

Albatross must travel through two different segments or "stories" - each composed of five stages - making for a total of ten stages. The stages in Story 2 are essentially a harder version of their Story 1 counterparts, featuring more traps and different enemy placement. At the end of the final stage, the player must battle the Geldra leader Maboo to rescue Leila and complete the mission.

Rolling Thunder: The name of the world's most powerful secret police force. You: It's best agent. But there's more. The enemy has captured beautiful agent Leila and is even now torturing her. You - and you alone - can save her. She can't hold out forever, so you better move fast! Armed with a handgun, you run and jump through treacherous passageways, blowing away enemy thugs. You can enter marked doors to collect bullets or special weapons like machine guns. The deeper you go, the more deadly the enemy becomes. This time, it's not just an action-packed game that tests your reflexes to the max. This time, it's personal!

One in a series of games seemingly inspired by the James Bond films. Take your pick of either secret agent Albatross or his sexy sidekick Leila and fight your way through countless foes, solving the occasional puzzle along the way.

These games are better than they have any right to be. The graphics and sound aren't all that great, but the gameplay is - in fact, it can get rather intense and sometimes frustrating in the later levels.

A straight sequel to the superb 1986 original, Rolling Thunder 2 sees one or two players taking control of secret agents in this scrolling, platform shoot-em-up. The agents once again find themselves up against the sinister GERDRA organisation and its many armed agents. Gameplay is very similar to the original, with doors both releasing enemies and hiding weapons and ammunition for the players to collect.

Rolling Thunder 2 improves on its illustrious predecessor in a number of ways; the most obvious one being the vastly improved and incredibly colourful graphics. The most striking improvement, however, is the addition of a simultaneous, co-operative two player mode; which adds immeasurably to the game's appeal. For the sequel, the one player agent is a woman, with a second player taking the role of a male agent.
