Road Games is an EP (or, according to its vinyl sleeve, a "specially-priced 6-cut mini album") by guitarist Allan Holdsworth, released in 1983 through Warner Bros. Records originally on vinyl only; a CD edition was reissued through Gnarly Geezer Records in 2001, although to this day Holdsworth claims to have received no royalties from either release. He has also named it as one of his least favourite recordings, due to numerous creative differences with executive producer Ted Templeman.Road Games nonetheless received a nomination for Best Rock Instrumental Performance at the 1984 Grammy Awards.
John W. Patterson of AllMusic gave Road Games four stars out of five, describing it as "fusion-rock bliss" and Holdsworth's guitar work as "amazing". He also praised Wackerman's "tastefully poised" drumming and Jeff Berlin's "killer" bass work.
All tracks written by Allan Holdsworth.
