Show HN: RoadRash ported to Three.js to run in the browser

Posted by olucurious 2 days ago

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.

Road Rash was a big part of my childhood. I am from India, and I used to play this in cyber cafes and on a friends' PCs. Surprised how smoothly it runs in the browser. Kicking a rival off the bike still feels just as satisfying :)

As a person that worked on the game at EA, I want to see credits. I recognize people in the artwork, they are caricatures of EA staff. It would be nice to see everyone's names, and then include the names of who ported this too.

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

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.
