These are some pretty short rally tracks... :P Today on Ancient DOS Games, Gemini's taking a look at Death Rally, one of the last games to bear the Apogee name, not to mention one of the last racing games made for modern systems to use an overhead perspective, developed by Remedy Entertainment and published through both Apogee and GT Interactive in 1996. I was a little surprised at how playable this game is and how exceptionally well balanced most (not all) of its features are, though to get the most out of this game you pretty much have to be an expert. Even though it IS approachable from all levels of skill, if you're not already really good at this game, the last half of it becomes a chore to get through. :P ------------------------------------------ Additional Information and Corrections: * If you'd like to grab the freeware release on Steam, head over to this page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/358270/Death_Rally_Classic/ * If you'd like to check out the remake instead, follow this link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/108700/Death_Rally/ * This game TECHNICALLY has blood effects, but because there's never a mix of people and blood in the same context, it's not really worth age gating. The pedestrians in the game world simply turn into red puddles if you run them over (which also slows you down so it's a BAD thing to do) and then if you run through a red puddle you can leave red streaks on the road... That's about the extent of that. :P * After some double-checking it seems that you starting position for any race is exactly based on the ranks of the participants, whereby the higher your rank is the further down the chain you start. Since ranks and race participants fluctuate quite a bit over the course of the game it was difficult to keep track of this, but thanks to my video editing software I was able to scrub through to all of the exact race starting moments and confirm this was how it worked! :B ------------------------------------------ Pixelmusement Website: http://www.pixelships.com ADG on Pixelmusement: http://www.pixelships.com/adg Alphabetical Index of ADG Episodes: http://www.pixelships.com/adg/index2.html Kris' Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/kasick @Pixelmusement on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Pixelmusement
