Overview

New Rally-X is effectively an update to Rally-X, released only months after the latter's original release and intended to be swapped into existing arcade cabinets by operators. Given that time frame, New Rally-X is more of a rebalance than an new game. Much of what is described in our own Rally-X page applies here, with the following changes:

The number of enemy cars per round starts smaller and scales more steadily per round than the original release.
The minimap shows the location of the S-Flag.
There is an additional Lucky Flag that provided bonus points based on the amount of fuel left upon the player finding it.
A second extra life is rewarded at 80,000 points instead of 100,000.
New background music.
Adjusted visual palette and sprites for vehicles.
