I loved that game too. The only thing that kept me from returning to it a lot was the lack of battery back up. I hated having to write down passwords.
Indeed, Road Rash was a great game. Heck i even remember winning a race while flying in the air after i hit a car head on. Crossed the finish line airborne.
oh i did that on NFS Underground and Most Wanted before now, crossed the line spinning from a crash, or flying through the air from a crash or something.
