Road Fighter (ロードファイター?) in Japanese is a car-based arcade game developed by Konami and released in 1984. It also was first car racing game from Konami. The goal is to reach the finish line within the stages without running out of time, hitting other cars or running out of fuel (fuel is refilled by hitting a special type of car). The game also spawned two sequels in its time, Midnight Run: Road Fighter 2 in 1995 and Winding Heat in 1996, respectively.
The game was later released for the MSX home computer system (1985), and Nintendo Entertainment System in Japan and Europe in the early 1990s, and followed the same format as the original. The game was included on Konami Arcade Classics in 1999.
