Road Rash: my new site.

This is slightly spammy, so apologies in advance.

Ive just finished my Road Rash website which is here (http://www.welcometotherash.com)

Let me know your feedback :)

There needs to be a front page of some sort, rather than jumping right to the Road Rash 1 "games" page.

Also, there were more than 4 Road Rash games. At the least, you should include Road Rash 3DO (which came out before RR3 and CD). I see that it's mentioned on the versions page, but it should have its own section. Btw, Road Rash CD is not a port of the 3DO game; the frontend menu and the soundtrack are the same, but the gameplay (and graphics) are completely different. I would consider Road Rash CD to be a remake of the original Road Rash using some elements of the 3DO one.

Some further nitpicking, about Road Rash 1, you say "Directly comparable with Road Rash CD from five years later" -- that should be four years, not five. :P

Lastly, the third pic of Road Rash 3D appears to actually be a screen of Jailbreak.

Constructive criticism aside, looks like you've got the beginnings of a pretty good fansite.

Well, you're missing some of the games, Jail Break and 64.
It's a good start to the site, I hope you continue to add information to it. Maybe comparisons between each version on every system they appeared on?

Even though I think Road Rash is and always has been incredibly lame, I'll check that site out every once in awhile.

it could be made a bit clearer that this site focuses on the 16-bit versions. its acknowledged (somewhere) that the 3do one did, indeed precede the 3rd and mega-cd ones. Jailbreak etc appear at the bottom of the 'versions' page.

I want to redo the site in a wiki format, but ill wait a few months as getting the site to the state its at hath sapped my enthusiasm.

thx for your comments :)

Your site brought back some fond memories. I think it's pretty damn thorough for what it's worth (i.e. it's about all I need to know about Road Rash, lol).

I like the site, I'd recommend just putting in a little effort in the site here and there, I notice with sites like these people put a ton of time initially, and then get burnt out and the site owner never updates it again.

My recommendation would be little movies of gameplay for each game on each system. If you go to emumovies.com you can go to the correct torrents and snag em.

Also, did you really type in all those comments? If so, that's amazing.

Needs an intro page, but not bad otherwise! Good work! I'd like to see your site eventually cover all the Road Rash games (even if it'll hurt to cover the newer ones).

My god, I love the original Road Rash on the Genesis...It's gotta be one of my favority racers of all time on any system. The difficulty level does get up there in the later levels though...I'm really digging the original music on your site though. One of the best 16-bit soundtracks of all time! Such catchy music, even if it was basic. Great job on the site! ;)

After all of these years, where are my Road rash and Skitchin' next-gen games? Where I cry, where!???!!!!!

if you check the brief at the top of that page, youll see i opened the roms in notepad, located the comments and simply cut and pasted them as a block, adding breaks where neccesary - the order they run in on that page is the order they appear on the rom - still took a bit of time though :)

i know what you mean about burnout though - im leaving 6 months before any major updates ;)

thx for your kind comments
