The last of the Atari System 1 games to be released, RoadBlasters puts players in a surprisingly colorful dystopian future death race, blasting other cars and picking up fuel orbs while grabbing air-dropped weapon upgrades. The original steering wheel controller was essentially a one-axis Star Wars yoke, and its limited turning radius makes it somewhat challenging to emulate on MAME. A yoke-style controller is ideal and a 270-degree steering wheel may offer similar control, though without the buttons. You may also get acceptable results with a dial, trackball, or analog joystick, and you can even play it with a standard 8-way joystick with the right settings. Even if you don't have the optimal setup, it's worth a try!
