'ello all,

Was flipping through an old EGM and they had a preview of the Genesis
cart "Road Riot", which is a port of the arcade game 4 Wheel Road Riot(I
believe). I loved that game in the arcade! Does anyone know, did this
actually make it out, either on cart of in beta rom format?

I remember the home version being advertised for the SNES and the
Genesis. Come to think of it, I don't think that I have ever seen the
game. Powerdrift on the PC-Engine might be the closest thing.

Man, that's too bad. I mean, the arcade game featured heavy, heavy use
of scaling so I can imagine a RoadBlasters-like conversion...but
still, I'd imagine it'd be fun to play. Will have to break out MAME on
this one...
