Road Rash II was developed by Electronic Arts in 1992 for the Sega Genesis, the 16 bit video game platform that had itself been created to compete with home video game giant, Nintendo.  Both game and system were a product of commercial outlets trying to get the attention of the teenage demographic that Nintendo and other brands were falling behind with.  

Brian visited with me during my recent visit to Loaded Question Brewery in Portsmouth, NH to talk about how games like Road Rash II and many other titles for the Genesis helped elevate the status of Electronic Arts among video gamers.
