Description
Rally cars compete across varied circuits in top-down view in this Alpha Denshi Neo Geo CD racing game. Published by Alpha Denshi, released in Japan in September 1994. Top-down rally racing with multiple circuits, accessible arcade physics, simultaneous two-player mode. Neo Geo CD edition.
An Alpha Denshi racing game where rally cars compete on varied tracks in top-down view, one of the machine's early titles and one of the rare representatives of the genre on the platform. On the narrow North American Neo Geo CD market, its Western pressing is appreciably rarer than the Japanese edition. The disc gave affordable access to a genre seldom present on the system.
Is Rally Chase still worth playing in 2026?
Rally Chase is an Alpha Denshi top-down rally racing game, in which cars compete on varied circuits in a snappy arcade spirit. The readability of the overhead view, the sense of speed and the diversity of tracks bring direct fun, in line with the arcade racing of the era. The content stays limited and the presentation early-Neo-Geo-styled. For fans of retro top-down rally racing and immediate arcade driving, it is a pleasant diversion, nice in short sessions or in pairs.
