About RoadBlasters

The objective of the game is to complete all 50 rallies without running out of fuel. There is no limit to how many vehicles a player can receive to complete a rally, as long as they have fuel. However, the destruction of the vehicle will subtract a small amount from the player's fuel tank. In the arcade, Genesis and Lynx versions, players could start the game at a higher rally, with additional opportunities to jump several levels from time to time. Players can continue their game from where they left off; however, the player has only one chance to complete the 50th and final rally. For completing the final rally the player gets one million points as a bonus. Players can get fuel in four ways: green globes, red globes, a checkpoint, and the rally point.

Atari Lynx prices, all games & how to spot a fake

Named by Wikipedia as the platform's best-seller — on no evidence anyone can produce.

Atari's 1990 conversion of the arcade combat racer is a solid use of the hardware's scaling, and it was an early, widely-printed title, which is why it is cheap today.

Its real curiosity is bibliographic. Wikipedia's Atari Lynx infobox lists RoadBlasters as the top-selling game, with no figure attached; other references name California Games instead. No per-title Lynx sales data exists from any source, so both are inference from print runs and pack-in status. We do not repeat either claim as fact.
