New Rally-X

New Rally-X

New Rally-X is a maze and driving arcade game published by Namco in 1981. It runs on similar hardware to its predecessor and, as its name suggests, is a revised version of the title that was released the year before. The only differences are slightly improved graphics, simpler gameplay, a new soundtrack and a "lucky flag" (with the letter "L") that gives the player extra points when he collects it. After that, the round continues if there are any flags left. The mazes are mostly identical, with some of the blocks from Rally-X changed to roads to avoid dead ends, and some flags (and rocks) placed differently. This title was produced in larger numbers and was much more popular in Japan than its predecessor.
