New Rally-X is a maze arcade game that was released by Namco in 1981. It runs on Namco Pac-Man hardware and, as the name suggests, is the sequel to Rally-X, which was released in the previous year. The only differences are that it has slightly enhanced graphics, easier gameplay, a new soundtrack and a "Lucky Flag" that gives you extra points if you collect it. Some of the blocks in Rally-X have been changed into roads. It was made in greater numbers and was much more popular (at least in Japan) than the original.
While the original Rally-X was a moderate hit in the States released under a Bally Midway license, this updated version of the game was distributed only as an upgrade kit for Rally-X cabinets in the US by Bally Midway. The game appeared quite frequently in mainland Europe and the United Kingdom mainly in the form of uncredited bootlegs. It was at least as popular as Rally-X in this region if not more so primarily due to the game's greater playability and abundance of bootleg board stock at the time.
It is also available as a download on Xbox 360's popular Xbox Live Arcade, a nostalgia/original game driven marketplace. It can be bought for a total of 400 points. It was also available in the Gamekey version of the Ms. Pac-man Plug N Play game along with Rally-X.
