New Rally X

What is New Rally X?

New Rally X is a classic arcade maze game released by Namco in 1981 as an enhanced sequel to the original Rally X. Players navigate their car through twisting mazes to collect flags while being pursued by persistent enemy cars, with a focus on fuel management, scoring bonuses, and clever use of strategic smoke screen for evasion.

  • Strategic Maze Navigation
    Maneuver through compact, multi-directional maze layouts to outsmart chasing enemies. Each circuit requires tactical pathfinding to collect all scattered flags while efficiently conserving fuel.
  • Tactical Smoke Screen
    Use a temporary smoke screen to momentarily paralyze pursuing enemy cars, opening opportunities for escapes and flag collection while earning bonus points.
  • Retro-Precision Driving and Scoring Economy
    Score is amplified by fuel-based multipliers, encouraging risk management and the pursuit of special power-ups for point cascades. Each screen balances evasive driving against fuel-optimized routing.
