Description

In 1991, Electronic Arts roared onto the Sega Genesis with Road Rash, a wild mix of high-speed racing, violent brawls, and rebellious attitude. In this episode, we explore how a failed Mario Andretti racing sim evolved into a motorcycle brawler that defined EA’s early console success. We trace how Randy Breen, Carl Mey, and Dan Geisler transformed technical limitations into creative breakthroughs, building one of the most iconic racing games of its era. Our conversation covers its development struggles, Genesis showcase debut, sequels, and lasting influence on titles like Burnout and Road Redemption. Join us as we punch, kick, and speed through the chaos of Road Rash on today’s trip down Memory Card Lane.
