A Kemco rally outing for the 1999 season. Several stages on gravel, snow and tarmac, co-driver management and credible technical tuning. The visuals are held back by the platform and the content is modest next to the competition, but the driving is honest and the challenge fair for sliding fans.

Description
Rally racing simulation for the 1999 season on gravel, snow, and tarmac stages. Published by Kemco, released in Japan in 1999. Several rally stages in varied weather conditions, driver and co-driver system, vehicle technical settings, and season championship mode.
Rally '99 is an Imagineer Japan exclusive never released in the West, making it the only way to add this N64 rally to an import collection. Its distribution limited to the Japanese market alone explains a genuine scarcity beyond its modest play appeal. Value stays contained, but the title draws Japanese N64 import collectors and enthusiasts of obscure late-1990s rally sims.
Is Rally '99 still worth playing in 2026?
A rally simulation from Kemco, Rally '99 offers special stages on dirt, snow and tarmac in the spirit of the season's championship, with grip management and demanding driving. The title aims at fans of technical driving, but suffers from a modest production and limited content against the genre's references on the console. The sense of slide stays decent. For a fan of retro rally or someone curious about overlooked N64 racers, the title keeps a niche interest, without rivalling the heavyweights.
