Players begin by choosing a vehicle based on handling, acceleration, and overall speed. The game is played from an overview perspective with the camera focused on the players car at all times. The races take place from the 1992 World Rally Championship and the 1992 Paris–Cape Town Dakar Rally with a variety of terrain.

Reception

[edit]

In Japan, Game Machine listed Thrash Rally as the sixteenth most successful arcade game of December 1991.[19] On release,[20] Next Generation reviewed the Neo-Geo version of the game, rating it one star out of five, and stated that "for mindless fun, Rally Chase comes in at about average".[7] Famicom Tsūshin scored the Neo Geo version a 22 out of 40.[5] Setsu of French magazine HardCore Gamers drew comparison with Micro Machines.[21]
