Sinjinhawke Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Rally X is one of my favourites like Omega Race and Wizard of Wor. This looks to be like Super Pro Rally X which is ok by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Steve Jones Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Is this being programmed by Kai Magazine? Visuals sort of look like his style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kai_Magazine Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 A friend of a friend told me the developer of this game wishes to remain annonymous due to the similarity with Rat Race and Rally X, so please don't ask who did it and just enjoy it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Considering that Radar Rat Race started as a port of Rally-X that Commodore supposedly were allowed to sell within Japan but not internationally, so they made a few changes to the game and got away with it, seemingly without any consequences from Namco, I don't think the look and feel of a 40 year old copy of another game would stir too many hot feelings today. I think the secret ingredient here is that Atari never held the home computer or console rights to Rally-X and to me they seemed to be the aggressive party. Namco themselves cared about unlicensed coin-ops but probably not so much home versions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Elektronite started, we thought that we'd have no trouble with just renaming a work alike or work similar....ie D2K Arcade and DK Arcade. However, we soon realized that it really hampered our ability to get rights to various games. We think that we are totally within our rights to do Cat Attack!!! that is very similar in game play to a popular arcade game. Nevertheless, the programmer doesn't want to be credited with his real name and is going under the moniker 'Intellivision Pixel Magic'. Kai Magazine recently finished the epic Star Mercenary for Elektronite and has been very busy with finishing up small details. He has also been continuing work on "Modern" TNT Cowboy.

The shadowy figure typing on the keyboard in a far-away shrouded place with a small glow off the computer monitor. I really dig the graphics for this game. Mouse is my favorite animal when growing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Funny that in the early days, publishers didn't want to credit their programmers which partially was the reason why Activision was formed. Nowadays publishers need an explanation why they don't credit the developers... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Spear Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I think the game looks great! The only feedback I would give, as more polish is added is 1. Don't make the text all upper-case. 2. Add background music for each of the levels, potentially 2 songs per level or each level with a very long song. Also add the option to replace the in-level music with something unobtrusive like just a "skittering" noise that can be repeated that will not be harsh to the ear after hours of play. This looks like another must-buy! I hope I can get it for my LTO Flash! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
