In RoadBlasters, the player must navigate a sports car through 50 different rally races, getting to the finish line before running out of fuel. 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, Sega and Atari 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 a bonus. The game was released on a number of home formats at the time, and received mixed acclaim. The arcade version was later released via emulation on consoles in the 1990s. The game appeared on the Sony PlayStation compilation Arcade's Greatest Hits: The Atari Collection 2 in 1998, alongside Paperboy and Gauntlet. It was also released for the PlayStation 2 as part of the Midway Arcade Treasures arcade game compilation. Source:[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RoadBlasters)
