Arcade Game: Rally X (1980 Namco)

[@GarfieldAtLasganaParty]

Played this with my dad last night, he said he used to play all the times in the 80s ❤

[@connormason7907]

When we played this game as kids we would make the car "fart" and die of laughter even though it used a good portion of fuel.

I remember playing this when I was in elementary school, I’m almost done with college… crazy how time flies

[@vifcole]

Same, finishing this year. Nearly forgot about this game

[@verdevanvederan7204]

this game scared me when i was young, because whenever i go through a curve the red car scares the shit out of me and i didnt see it coming. yep even the cars give me the creeps

[@antoniocarrilho7090]

So good memories from 40 years ago……My favorite that time 🙂

[@beekarinsaan]

The 1981 version of this game has a catchy theme and better graphics.

[@beekarinsaan]

@{breadcat} damn after 3 years? Anyway this is the arcade version of the 1981 one. Way superior audio. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaSlXnmKm9p7abc

What about the Namco Arcade Classics 5-1 plug n play Version? It had the music from new rally-X

[@TranceMissionAerie]

I'm so happy you posted this! I used to play this ROM under the MacMAME emulator on, like, a g3 iMac running OS 9, I think, over ten years ago. Loved it both with and without the cheat. You're inspiring me to find it again.

[@malik_931]

in 1996,they made a whole another rally-x arcade game where you could play the original,but you could also play the arrangement version. in short words : rally-x got a remake

[@curleed85]

This game does get intense, but the music can dull your senses. If you get too relaxed and thus careless, you’ll leap at the sound of a “BANG!”

[@hillsidegamesnc]

This is one of my top 5 favorite games from 1980. 😁

[@TYROTUBER]

I still remember that when i got my first PC in 2004 & this game is the one which I got from my friend. Today after watching this after 17 years, you just made me to feel my childhood. Thank you man. Love you so much. Lots of wishes for you ❤️❤️❤️❤️.

[@obeliscosmash9986]

Great video! I remember this Game in My Childhood...

[@georgeshelton6281]

The reason why all of these 1970s and 1980s video arcade game machines, are such a big deal to me is that they can be restored. They're all something that's, from the classic past. Even though they have a different sound to them. There's just only one drawback, one of them had a sadistic sounding released recording. It's called 'I'm your Automatic Lover.' I'm quite surprised that neither one played this released recording: that's Coldplay's 'I Wish to Rule the World.' It's another sadistic sounding released recording.

[@supered227]

THIS GAME IS SO FREAKING CHARANGING!!!!

[@supered227]

F-zero91maru I miss this game so much. It was a central part of my childhood. But it is charanging lol (see 2:26)

[@supered227]

[@brianbagnall3029]

Several times after 6:00 the enemy cars pass through the driver. Is that a bug or part of the gameplay that's hard to understand in a video?

[@TheDerpyDolphin]

They are using cheats. They also have unlimited fuel (you can tell because just as the fuel runs out it slightly refills)

Nostalgic i use to play this so long ago in the 90s

[@refreshgamesdev]

Love the videos, thanks for making them as it gives me some more insight into the games I'll most likely be on the lok-out for next. But it would be handy if you mentioned in the video description where cheats were used. Otherwise it may give some people the impression that the game was badly programmed and had poor collision detection routines and thus turn people away from the joys of retro gaming. Just my thoughts, keep up with the cool retro game playthroughs ;)

[@empgkrazer_5124]

This motos and xevious were my shit back in the days where i owned a revenge of arcade disk damn i miss those times

[@jmill3147]

Those red cars have to be Danica Patrick the way they're going around wrecking..

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

This game was released in the U.S. through Bally Midway, the same company who brought us _Pac-Man_, _Ms. Pac-Man_, _Bosconian_, _Galaxian_, _Galaga_ and _Mappy_ which were all also created by Namco. Had this been ported to a home console, Atari would likely have snapped up those rights, as they had with _Pac-Man_, _Ms. Pac-Man_, _Galaxian_ and _Galaga_.

[@BaccarWozat]

I believe Atari may have either bought the rights or been in negotiations to do so at one point. They licensed a lot of games whose console releases either never saw the light of day (Frisky Tom), or were turned into other games because they couldn't be ported to the 2600 (Star Castle), or were only made available through Atari Club (Crazy Climber). Atari buying console rights to Namco games was what endeared them to Namco, whereas Bally/Midway abused their arcade license and made lousy Pac-Man games. Hence the point in 1984 when Atari Games got the Namco arcade account and was later purchased by them to release their NES cartridges.

[@matthewbertrand4139]

they didn't "snap up the rights," they bought a license, which multiple people can and did. the NES features ports of Galaga, Pac-Man, and Xevious created by Bandai, who also made even more Japan-only ports to the Famicom of games like The Tower of Druaga and Galaxian. Tengen also made their own NES Pac-Man port. Ms. Pac-Man has ports for the SNES and Game Boy not developed by Atari.

[@reillywalker195]

@@matthewbertrand4139 Indeed. The SNES port of _Ms Pac-Man_ was made by Digital Eclipse and published by Williams. Nintendo also republished Bandai's NES ports of _Pac-Man_ and _Xevious_ for the Game Boy Advance as part of the Classic NES Series.

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

@@BaccarWozat In Japan, Commodore had bought the home rights but were not able to do so for the U.S. and Canada, so here the VIC-20 version of Rally-X was reprogrammed as Radar Rat Race. This would have meant Atari could still have gotten the home rights to Rally-X for North America.

[@AL-op3ue]

11:51 how can you just drive right through the red car with no consequence?

[@scottbrady7499]

obviously set to easy mode. those mud patches and ANY collision kills. the smoke trail becomes important in the aqua/cyan sets. so many vehicles chasing. never got to "charanging" stage three, to see the pink/lavender sets. you got to know the maps anf put joystick inputs that lead the cars all the wrong ways while you criss cross the entire course. you can play screens, and never see a red car. easier than ms. pac man, but the same priciple applies- keep going "up," and all the ghosts know your're up at the top, somewhere.

[@gedias1]

I always wondered if you could run out of fuel on the Challenge stage. Or, should I say Charanging Stage?

[@warr1]

it is not the same music of the arcade, i remember that it was a catchy tune.

Rally X became Cameo at Tales of Vesperia like: SFlag (change Humanoid Character (7 Human & 1 Krytian) became leader. Obtained with 2 way: synthesis or drop From Tison alongside Nan from Hunting Blades at Mt.Temza), SFlag R since PS3 (For changing Repede as Leader). To change as leader, press Y or Square Button at Menu & Collectible Item named "(C) R Statue" located same like "(C) M Statue", "(C) I Statue", "(C) P Statue", "(C) S Statue" & "(C) N Statue" at Nam Cobanda Isle Gachapon Machine
