Road Race
Official description
Road Race was an early driving/racing game developed and published by Sega in early 1976. The game was notable for its introduction of a pseudo-3D, third-person perspective.
Later in 1976, Road Race was adapted into the motorbike racing games Moto-Cross and Man TT, which in turn was re-branded as Fonz in North America.
