Network Q Rally Championship

[@benholroyd5221]

I really liked this game back in the day. The voice over was done by the BBC rallying commentator of the day, and some of th stages are absolutely massive, like 20 minutes end to end massive. BTW knowing the gear buttons are important, even when playing automatic. the championship implements a damage system, not from crashing, but things wearing out. so at the end of the race you get a time budget to repair things, and eventually you get to the point where your gear box will keep popping out of gear, and youll lose 5th gear etc.

"nihilistic and depressing" graphics - clearly you've never been to Wales

Thank you for sharing this video, this game was part of my childhood and I forgot the title (I only remembered it being called "rally" and there are hundreds of those...)

[@piotrdawidziuk2604]

Ohh! This is a game I used to play A LOT as a kid! The intro full motion video is actually burned somewhere in the back of my brain. I remember that in 1996 I thought that the graphics in this game was photorealistic. I really liked this game, but to be fair I never understood if I was doing any good or winning the race...

Those graphics were photo-realistic back in the day. Loved this game, and the soundtrack is awesome. Great, great game.

The games is off the liminal space dial.

I remember playing this when I was a kid and it was just as dull then! The stuff about the game engine was infinitely more interesting. :D

My first rally game. If you put the cdrom into your Audio disc player you can listen to the soundtrack edit: 6:33 What about CMR and Toca?

i love imagining that this is some sort of limbo existence that we all go to when we finish our tour of reality. we each wake up in front of a picture of a dashboard and our world is suddenly nearest neighbor point filtered nothingness. least we all come out on top!

[@leam1978]

the "nihilistic and depressing" graphics are partly because there is basically no dynamic value in the textures.

[@leam1978]

i really like little details like turn hints. shame the cars do seem to be hugging the track like enemies in mario kart 1

[@n6h6]

this looks genuinely fun

[@BenHelweg]

Got this in a book club when I was a kid and it was infinitely disappointing.

[@leoleonvids]

In rally, you just need to set the fastest time, in Arcade levels it's just a race against the clock with checkpoints and annoying roadblock AI For 96 it's probably the best rally simulator at the time, but it aged super badly in the following years, with stuff like Colin McRae Rally coming out in 98 lol. I still think it's fun though
