Death Rally

Death Rally is an old Apogee game run on MS-DOS. It's now considered Abondonware which means it's free to download! (Hooray!) There's 2 modes to this game, with weapons or without weapons. With weapons is much more entertaining than without weapons (because everyone likes to blow up things). You start off at the bottom of a ranking board with an old beat up (almost VW Beetle-like) car with horrible steering and speed. You earn money by collecting it during the race and for placing high. Bonus money can be earned by taking out all of your opponents or accepting a mission to pick up drugs or take out a certain person. You can then use this money to repair your car, make upgrades, or buy a newer, faster car. You can also equip stuff from the black market like rocket fuel or spikes.

The game does get pretty repetitive after awhile which takes some of the fun out. However, certain tracks are used only for faster cars which leaves a little bit to be experienced towards the end. The game really should allow you to continue to race after you climb to the #1 spot and beat the final opponent (very disappointed in that).

All in all I give this an Ok. Cool and Buy Now (It's free!)
