Play New Rally X Online

New Rally X is a 1981 arcade maze game by Namco, playable today through MAME. It arrived when single-screen chase games were common, a straightforward but tense evolution of the chase formula.

You control a small blue car, navigating a maze to collect all the flags while avoiding enemy cars. The signature mechanics include a limited-use smoke screen to temporarily stall pursuers and a map that shows flag and enemy locations, but drains your fuel if used too long. The pacing is urgent; enemies are persistent and the maze layouts force quick decisions. It feels like a tight, claustrophobic race against clever opponents that demands both route planning and sharp reflexes.
