Roadster is a racing game released in 1993 for the Game Boy. The game's primary objective is to compete in various race events, driving through different tracks to finish in the highest position possible. Players control a car from a top-down perspective, navigating tight corners and avoiding obstacles to maintain speed and position.
The pace of Roadster is moderately fast, requiring timely turns and acceleration to outmaneuver opponents. A distinctive mechanic is its use of fuel management, where players must balance speed with conserving fuel to avoid running out before the race ends. This adds a strategic layer beyond simple racing mechanics.
What sets Roadster apart is its focus on resource management combined with racing gameplay, which was less common in handheld racing games of its time. The game's simple graphics and controls offer an accessible experience, while the fuel mechanic introduces an unusual challenge that affects race strategy.
