Road Riot 4WD is an arcade racing game developed by Atari Games and originally released in 1991. In the game, players control weapon-equipped dune buggies and attempt to win races around the globe. A port of the game was released for the Super NES. Versions of the game for the Atari Lynx and Sega Genesis were developed, but never released.[1][2][3] A sequel entitled Road Riot's Revenge was also in development and cabinets for the game were made, but the sequel never entered mass production.[4]
