Road Rash (ロード・ラッシュ) is the first game in the Road Rash series of motorcycle racing games developed by Electronic Arts. Originally released for the Sega Mega Drive in 1991, it has since been ported to other consoles, including subsequent Sega consoles.

The player competes in illegal street races in California where competitors are given free will to deliberately damage competitors to get to first place such as by punching competitors (C) or ramming into them. B accelerates, A brakes. Race courses are littered with everything from hills to traffic to roadside obstacles that can hurt a competitor or the player, and since the races run in real time, crashing is costly, as you must get in the top 3 to move on to the next level. You may choose which level to play each time.
