Talk:Rally-X

Trivia
I'm thinking it might be added to the Trivia Section that the background music was also used for the Nivel X main theme, Nivel X was a kinda well known argentine videogame related show, aired on Magic Kids which even today enjoys a cult-like following. I don't know what it could be used as a reliable referency, but the show and its intro can be found on YouTube. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.142.137.187 (talk) 02:39, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Rally-X Soundtrack
The article states that the soundtrack is "unique to this game". However, the version I have played (which is NOT the original arcade game) is a very clear variation of the Pac Man theme (during the interlude after level 2, when a "giant" Pac Man chases the ghosts). Rally X is a Namco game, which also produced Pac Man. This needs to be verified.

That one is NEW Rally-X, which adds the Lucky Flag, which scores your fuel bonus, and the new theme. The original Rally-X has a different in game tune.74.211.59.145 (talk) 19:48, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Retro/Racing?
This is not a racing game in the usual sense of racing video games (Color TV Racing 112, Pole Position, Initial D, etc). It's not even a vehicular combat game (Mario Kart balloon battle, Twisted Metal). It's more of an eat-em-up, a scrolling version of Pac-Man with Pac-Man and ghosts turned into cars and pills turned into flags. --Damian Yerrick (☎) 02:43, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

I agree that Rally-X isn't really a racing game. It's a maze game with a racing "theme". Radar Rat Race is essentially the same game with different graphics, and one would be hard-pressed to call it a racing game. The linked to KLOV's page on Rally-X also classifies Rally-X as a maze game. --Laurence Gonsalves 20:12, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Rally-X Pronounciation
Just a thought, but has it occured to anyone that Rally-X might actuially be pronounced Rally Cross? Which is how Japanese usually call the X symbol (the Playstation Controller for instance), Rally Cross does make for a more gramatical title also. --Guru Larry (talk) 10:28, 18 June 2008 (UTC)


 * The problem is, unless there's a valid reference denoting how this title is meant to be pronounced, your theory represents WP:OR. And regardless, the written title of the game is Rally-X and not Rally Cross.  So at the most, if you could find a reference on pronunciation then you could add a note about that in the article.  But retitling based on pronunciation would be out. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 15:25, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Rally-X is based on a 70's black&white game
Rally-X is a multidirectional driving game based on another very similar, but made earlier, and black&white - it's a very important missing information - please help me know which game is it, for fixing the information on this wikipedia page - thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.196.93.63 (talk) 11:44, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Are you sure you're not thinking of Radar Rat Race, a b&w clone of Rally-X released in 1981? ✰oaoii/ talk 19:46, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Not the first game with a soundtrack.
Sheriff (Nintendo, arcade, 1979) predates it, though there may be earlier games still. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.79.110.43 (talk) 15:55, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Better source needed for the January demostration
The japanese websites posted here as sources seem to have "1980-01" just as a placeholder, indicating "somewhere in 1980", I don't think games at that time were show with so much anticipation. The japanese wikipedia page mentions a Japanese release in november of that yer. Mirad1000 (talk) 00:46, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
