YeahRoadrash is a Windows game, not a DOS game, DOS-BOX won't help you there.

However, I'm curious as to why Road Rash won't run for you. It runs fine for me under Windows XP, without compatibility mode, but I recall I have occasional problems with it's Midi support, which I ended up fixing by using software midi synth for my SB Live instead of using Soundfonts as usual.


when i try to run the autorun file in the directory menu it open the first screen (i.e. choose to install or quit) when i press install i get the message C:\WINDOWS/SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. the system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and microsoft windows applications. choose 'close' to terminate the application.


Here's a tip: Look inside the Setup folder on the Road Rash CD, run the setup.exe that is in there instead of the Autorun.exe from the root. You may, (or may not), have to run the setup in Compatibility mode, I can't recall if I had to. Hope that helps, good luck!


HunterZ: I'm using the Microsoft GS Wavetable Software synth that comes with Windows XP for Road Rash, as it sounds far better than the Creative software synth that comes with the SB Live! card. You probably know this, but just in case, (and for others who don't know it), you can set that synth in the Sounds Speech and Audio section of Control Panel, just hit the Audio page, and change the Midi synth to whatever you want there. Just don't forget to set it back after, or other games will suffer poorer sound. ?


The sega genesis of Road Rash was first released in 1991. The Sega genesis trilogy was again released in EA replay afterward. The first series of the game is set in California, on broad and well developed two-lane roads. The race consists of 14 other players, who participate in the same race. Read below to know more about Road Rash and its GamePlay.


Coming from Electronic Arts, Road Rash is a racing video game that was released as early as 1991. The game primarily belongs to the genre: street racing. Back in those times, this was a top-rated game, extremely popular among players. The game comprises leather clothing, well-animated landscapes, rough music, high-quality graphics, and audio. Here, a bunch of racers, who have plenty of money is seen. They buy expensive sports bikes and enjoy riding them at high speeds.


The game can be played in 3 different modes. Big game mode, trash mode, and a mano-a-mani game mode. Each of these modes has different settings, options, and features to offer. For instance, the mano-a-mano mode allows a group of players to play together in multiplayer mode over a network. Road Rash can be considered to be the first racing game to gain such popularity in those times. It has amazing GamePlay, atmosphere, and the soundtrack to offer.


Road Rash primarily has a single-player mode. However, other players can also be intermittently against one another. As we already mentioned, the game takes place on several local roads of California, including Sierra Nevada, San Francisco, Napa Valley, and the Pacific coast highway. Players can accelerate, brake, fight, and sometimes attack other racers during the race.


The game is primarily a street racing game, developed most interestingly. It features brawling and intense racing against other players and police. The game boasts of realistic graphics and audio. Playing the game is easy because of its simple racing mechanics. Bikes run in a straight direction, on a horizontal axis. Players can turn left or right by pressing the necessary keys on the keyboard. The track runs through ramps, turns, hills, and rough terrains. Every player has a stamina bar. Whenever they run out of their stamina, a wipeout occurs.


Whenever you attack another player, you must be careful not to get hit by trees, boundaries, buildings, or other vehicles. The police sometimes follow rash drivers, aiming to catch them. Players also need to be mindful of them. Players caught by the police are busted and the game is over for them. Such players need to start the game all over again. Completion of an entire track fetches various upgrades or rewards.


Road Rash can be considered to be the most profitable title earned by EA to date. It has received critical acclamation from players as well as critics. The game has been loved by millennials and continues to be a popular game even after decades. The Sega Genesis version was especially loved because of its interesting GamePlay, attractive setting, and high-quality graphics. The game has now been released in multiple installments, with several changes, for various consoles.
