Road Rash was one of my favourite PC games growing up. I wanted to play it again, but the browser emulators I tried felt sluggish, so I decided to build a browser version using Three.js. This started mostly out of nostalgia. I wanted to be able to open a link and get back to racing and knocking people off their bikes.

Nice! I remember spending many hours playing Road Rash 3 on the SEGA Genesis. The stun baton was always fun.

With cars on, even level 1 is hard for me haha

Really cool project. What version is this ported from because no offense, it's a great technical feat, but the dos/win95 version is far superior as someone who runs it on the vintage hardware. I will admit your chase camera and tracking feels better. Just giving some constructive criticism.

So many memories! Thank you for this :)
