New Rally X is a racing arcade game released by Namco in 1981. Players control a rally car navigating through maze-like tracks while collecting flags and avoiding opponent vehicles. The game features a top-down perspective with scrolling gameplay. Players use a joystick to steer and accelerate around tight corners, collecting all flags on each stage before reaching the goal. The car can move in eight directions and must navigate around obstacles and enemy cars that patrol the course. Each completed stage progresses to a new track with increased difficulty. The game introduced the concept of flag collection in a driving context and requires both speed and precision to complete levels efficiently.
