You need to pay constant attention to two things: the zoomed in view of the world that occupies most of the screen, and the radar view of the world to the right. Your only goal is to collect all ten flags as quickly as possible.End of stage bonus: Points for remaining fuel TIPS AND TRICKS However, losing a life will cancel out the Special Flag's scoring effect when you restart. If you clear the entire round without losing a single life, the tenth flag is always worth 2,000 points because it is guaranteed that at some point, you will have collected the Special Flag. Collecting the Special Flag: Doubles points for the Special Flag and all flags collected thereafter until you clear the round or lose a life. If you lose a life, the points awarded will reset to 100 when you restart. SCORING Collecting a flag: 100 points x the flag collected up to a maximum of 1,000 points. This was corrected in the Midway version. UPDATES In the introduction to the bonus stages, the Namco version misspells 'Challenging' as 'Charanging'. Players: 2 Control: 4-way joystick Buttons: 1 (SMOKE SCREEN) TRIVIA Rally-X was released in October 1980 in Japan. TECHNICAL Main CPU: Zilog Z80 3.072 Mhz) Sound Chips: Namco 3-channel WSG and discrete circuitry for the crash sound. A radar display to the right hand side of the playing area shows the positions of both the flags, and the enemy vehicles. Each maze also has rock formations which, if crashed into, will result in the loss of a player car. A smoke screen can be activated which trails behind the player's car and causes any pursuing enemies to crash. In-game opponents consist of red enemy cars that try to ram into and destroy the player's car, a problem compounded by the fact that enemy cars are faster than the player's. The game-play has a similar feel to another Namco legend, "Pac-Man" although in Rally-X, the mazes are much larger and, with each maze having only ten flags to collect, is more sparsely populated than Namco's pill-eating legend. In Rally-X, the player drives a car around a maze picking up all of the yellow flags, of which there are ten, before the car's fuel runs out.
