#RALLY X ARCADE GAME MARQUEE UPGRADE#

While the original 'Rally-X', released under a Bally/Midway license, was a moderate hit in North America, Bally/Midway only distributed this updated version as an upgrade kit for 'Rally-X' cabinets. Screen orientation: Horizontal Video resolution: 288 x 224 pixels Screen refresh: 60.61 Hz Palette colors: 16 Players: 2 Control: 4-way joystick Buttons: 1 (SMOKE SCREEN) TRIVIA New Rally-X was released in February 1981. TECHNICAL Main CPU: Zilog Z80 3.072 Mhz) Sound Chips: Namco 3-channel WSG and discrete circuitry for the crash sound. As players progress through the rounds, the number or pursuing enemy cars increases. Upon completion of a round, bonus points are awarded based on how much fuel the player has remaining. This is marked with the letter 'L' and - providing there are still standard flags remaining - awards the player extra points for remaining fuel, after which the round will continue as normal. If the player dies before the end of that round, the flag value is set back to 100 points and the double bonus is lost. If collected, the value earned for the round's remaining flags doubles from 100 to 200 points. In addition to the standard ten flags, each maze also contains a special flag (indicated by the letter 'S'). A radar display to the right-hand side of the playing area shows the relative positions of the flags, rocks and enemy vehicles. Each maze also has rock formations and crashing into these will result in the loss of a player car. Activating the smoke screen uses a small amount of fuel, however, so players must be careful to not overuse it. To disrupt the chasing enemy cars a smoke-screen can be activated that trails behind the player's car, causing any pursuing vehicles to crash. The player's car automatically moves in whichever direction the joystick is pushed and if it runs into a wall, it will turn automatically and continue moving. The enemy cars are faster moving than the player's vehicle. In-game opponents consist of red enemy cars that pursue and try to ram into and destroy the player's car. New Rally-X is a scrolling, overhead maze-based racing game in which the player drives a racing car around a maze and must collect ten yellow flags before the car's fuel runs out.

Game description from Most viewed Arcade games: A radar display to the right hand side of the playing area shows the positions of both the flags, and the enemy vehicles. Each maze also has rock formations which, if crashed into, will result in the loss of a player car. A smoke screen can be activated which trails behind the player's car and causes any pursuing enemies to crash. In-game opponents consist of red enemy cars that try to ram into and destroy the player's car, a problem compounded by the fact that enemy cars are faster than the player's. The game-play has a similar feel to another Namco legend, 'Pac-Man' although in Rally-X's mazes are much larger and, with each maze having only 10 flags to collect, is more sparsely populated than Namco's pill-eating legend. In Rally-X, the player drives a car around a maze picking up all of the yellow flags, of which there are 10, before the car's fuel runs out.
