This brought back some memories. Road Rash, Tomba, and Primal Rage FTW.

I don't see why Road Rash wouldn't be perfect for EA Sports Big lineup along with Mutant League Football. Those two definitely need to be brought back.

Road Rash... Now that was a cool game. I would spend so much time upgrading my bike, and then trying not to give up the chain. I liked how it felt to wrap that thing around some poor sucker's neck and sling him backwards. The "Thwock" of the baseball bat on someone's skull as they went limp and slumped off their bike was also satisfying.

gotta love Killer Instinct, especially those multi-hit combos that ended with your opponent splattering against the tv screen.

Earthworm Jim should make a comeback as well.
