Pico8 New Rally-X

"New Rally-X" is a classic arcade game that was first released in 1981 by Namco. It is a maze-based racing game and is the sequel to the original "Rally-X." In the game, players control a red car and navigate through a maze while avoiding enemy cars known as "Zakos." The objective is to collect all the yellow flags scattered throughout the maze while being pursued by the Zakos. The game introduces new features compared to its predecessor, including the ability to create smoke screens to temporarily confuse the pursuing Zakos. Players can use this feature strategically to escape tight situations or trap enemy cars. The smoke screens are limited, so players must use them wisely. The maze layout changes as players progress through levels, adding to the challenge. The game has a timer, and players must complete each level before the time runs out. Bonus points are awarded for completing levels quickly and efficiently. "New Rally-X" is known for its simple yet engaging gameplay, challenging mazes, and the strategic use of the smoke screen feature. It holds a place in arcade gaming history as a classic title from the early 1980s. *EDIT* Version 1.01 - Amendments to maps (changed from original to New) Swapped Special and Lucky flag flashing sequence on Mini map Top cars facing wrong way when level starts, changed direction.
