Here's a very nice site devoted to the Road Rash 16 bit series. Recently at the 1up awards I asked a group of folks to guess the one EA game I ever liked (the ones they published in japan, such as Soukyuugurentai and Rabbit don't count against this - and that wound up being a bonus question later). The answer, of course, was the original Road Rash. Good game! I even stumped EA's head of corporate communications.

If your feelings toward the game are similar, this site is probably for you. It's got profiles of all of the characters, screens from each stage, weapons, and of course...the sounds. The complete stage soundtracks are all here, though I can't direct link the section, as the webmaster knows more about html than I do. The Road Rash CD sounds section isn't working at the moment, but I'm sure he'll fix it.

And incidentally, if you want to hear about how EA initially got in with Sega, and then started hating them (which basically killed the Dreamcast, hurrah), you can read about it in this nifty history of EA feature. Most of the good stuff is on page 3.
