Play Monsters Truck Rally Online

Monster Truck Rally was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1989 by publisher SOFEL. It arrived during a period when the NES library was diversifying, offering straightforward arcade style experiences alongside more complex adventures. The game doesn't try to be a simulation; it embraces a simple, almost cartoonish take on monster truck competition.

You control a monster truck from an overhead perspective, navigating through obstacle filled courses. The main objective is to complete laps faster than the computer opponent while destroying rows of parked cars and avoiding hazards like oil slicks and water pits. Two signature mechanics are the truck's exaggerated, bouncy physics, which send you careening after hitting even small objects, and the ability to crush cars for points, which also briefly increases your speed. The pacing is fast and the handling is intentionally loose, making every turn and jump feel unpredictable. It feels like wrestling a wild animal made of tires and engine noise.
