Road Rage

The races themselves take place in the city of Neo Kobe (known from Konami's Snatcher), inspired by the movie Blade Runner. The gameplay is similar to the better-known futuristic racing series Wipeout. In order to approximate the authentic gameplay of the original arcade version, the PlayStation port features support for the NeGcon analog controller. The European PlayStation version of the game is considered obscure and very rare the same can be said for the arcade cabinets due to their elusive status.
