* The number of enemy cars that appear in each stage has been reduced. * The stage layouts have been simplified in order to reduce dead ends that a player could become trapped in. * The game has new background music, which many players have found quite enjoyable. * The graphics for the cars have been slightly improved. It was at least as popular as " Rally-X" in these regions, if not more so, primarily due to the game's greater playability and abundance of bootleg board stock. The game appeared quite frequently in mainland Europe and the United Kingdom, mainly in the form of uncredited bootlegs. 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. New Rally-X was released in February 1981 in Japan and in March 1981 in the USA, but only as an upgrade kit distributed by Midway Manufacturing for " Rally-X" cabinets. Upon completion of a round, bonus points are awarded based on how much fuel the player has remaining.Īs players progress through the rounds, the number or pursuing enemy cars increases. 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. Activating the smoke screen uses a small amount of fuel, however, so players must be careful to not overuse it.Įach maze also has rock formations and crashing into these will result in the loss of a player car. 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.
