Roadwars

About

You drive a spinning tank up an endless highway, shooting cars, trucks, and other obstacles in this 1987 arcade shooter. The game’s top-down perspective puts you in a futuristic vehicle that automatically moves forward, forcing you to blast or avoid hazards as they approach. Single-player modes pit you against computer-controlled enemies while two-player matches let you clash directly. Despite its simple mechanics, Roadwars delivers a frantic, reflex-based challenge that fans of fast-paced action still discuss. The lack of complex strategy keeps things straightforward, focusing on quick decisions and timing. Released in late 1987, it ran on arcades, Amiga, and systems like the C64, making it one of the era’s more accessible competitive experiences. Some players cite its addictive, high-score chasing nature as a key draw.
