The King of Rally

The King of Rally is a rally-type SUPER Famicom racing game, set in a rally raid similar to that of the Paris-Dakar Rally, where the player has to race with an off-roader across a rally course in order to obtain the best time. While the off-roaders are tough, they cannot absord unlimited damage. Players must waste time fixing their off-roaders in case of a trouble situation with either the engine or other vital automobile parts. The player has the choice of either practicing any of the 10 levels in the game or he can start a full race. In addition, the player has to watch out for his fuel consumption. If he runs out of fuel, then he has to retire from the race or practice session. Like all Japanese games, the speed gauge of the player's vehicle is in kilometers.

Through desert, snow, paved, and unpaved roads, the player must race from Paris to Moscow and finally to Beijing as fast as he can in order to become the best rally racer in the world. While the drive through France and Germany start out as paved roads and easy forest drives, the player encounters ice and snow once he enters Russia. After that the player goes south through the former Soviet republics and then east through parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Finally the player goes through Nepal and its snowy district and makes his way through the final level which consists of navigating his way through the Great Wall of China. After that, the player arrives safely in Beijing, and the game is finally over.
