Road Riot 4WD (1991, Atari) Full Arcade Game Playthrough (With Commentary)

Before Mario Kart, Atari kicked off the combat racer with this hidden arcade gem from 1991. Ok, maybe it's not really a hidden gem, but it's still a fun game. There's a great discussion to be had about these middling arcade games and game preservation, as their lack of perceived value leads to cabinets of these games becoming incredibly rare.

Road Riot 4WD is a game I had a lot of fun playing back in the day, but until recently I had completely forgotten about. In this video I will show you the entire game, and talk about the need for preservation of titles like this.
