Game Introduction

The player chooses one of three different cars. Each rally is divided into three stages, which must each be completed within sixty seconds in order to progress. If the time limit is exceeded, the game is over. The game employs a third person view of the action, similar to Kaneko's Great 1000 Miles Rally series of games.

Game Play

While driving, an arrow will appear on-screen indicating any approaching bend or turn in the track, giving the player time to react and maneuver accordingly. Different road surfaces, for example snow, will affect the car's handling.

Miscellaneous

The game can be configured to use a steering wheel instead of a joystick via the on-screen test mode. The PCB can be linked to another to allow two players to compete against each another.

VAPS Arcade Census

GAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETY

Scarce - There are 3 known instances of World Rally 2 owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, It is an original dedicated machine (not another machine converted with a kit)., and 2 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.

Of the 57,121 video games (3,420 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 2 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records.

Wanted - We currently do not know of any VAPS members that have gotten around to adding this game to their wish list. The wish-list system is fairly new (not all VAPS members have filled one out) and there are probably a number of collectors who might purchase this game if offered one at the right price.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.

Technical

This game, like most Gaelco games, will suffer from battery death. A battery is located under a plastic rectangular cover about middle of the board. When this battery dies, part of necessary program code dies with it, which in turn kills the board. So keeping this board on a storage shelf for extended periods of time is not a good idea.

Trivia

Released by Gaelco, this game was developed by Zigurat Software, the team behind Snow Board Championship and Surf Planet.
