    Thinking about this game again and how shockingly decent it was. Basically just a Micro Machines/Death Rally clone but with really crunchy graphics, it played well enough and I enjoyed it. Shame about the box art though...or maybe bless?

    I don't know why I never really liked top-down racing games. Except for the legendary Death Rally! (1996, MS-DOS). It looked amazing and still does today, the gameplay was everything you wish. Just a brillant game. #retrogaming #retrogames

    30 years ago today (6 Sep 1996), the first game from @remedygames.com and @apogeeent.com was released - Death Rally. Was a fun as hell top down racing game, which even managed to work Duke Nukem into it as one of the racers. The OG game is still available free on Steam today. Happy Birthday DR!

    Been replaying the port of Death Rally, a game I was obsessed with on iOS when it came out in 2011. Not only a fascinating snapshot of the time (Brian Crecente, GTTV Geoff Keighley, and John Gore from Minigore are guests), has a really addictive upgrade loop and design from an era pre-Candy Crush.

    25 GREAT 1990s SHAREWARE #VIDEOGAMES 23. Death Rally Remedy was formed by a bunch of Finnish modscene creators to create games, and their debut, Death Rally, offered a top-down racing shooter experience (and even guest-starred Duke Nukem!). It's often compared to GTA, but Death Rally came first!

    I still play Death Rally once in a while, and really ought to get it set up for the right frame rate on screens that'll do 70Hz. For the mid-to-late 90s, anyone with the sense to hire tracker people to do their soundtrack was getting great work and probably getting the rest of the game right too...
