Moto Roader is a top-down racing game developed by Naxat Soft and released for the PC Engine in 1990. It is a futuristic racing game where players control hovercraft-like vehicles on a variety of tracks, with a focus on speed, handling, and strategic use of power-ups.

The gameplay involves racing on tracks with sharp turns and obstacles, using a turbo boost and collecting items to gain an advantage over opponents. The game supports up to five players, making it a popular choice for multiplayer gaming sessions on the PC Engine. The top-down perspective provides a clear view of the track and competitors.

A unique feature is the game's support for the Multi-Tap accessory, allowing for up to five players to compete simultaneously. This made Moto Roader a staple of party gaming on the platform. The game also features a variety of track designs and a "battle" mode for added excitement.

Moto Roader was a successful title that spawned a sequel, Moto Roader II. It remains a fondly remembered racing game on the PC Engine, particularly for its multiplayer capabilities.
