Death Rally is a Driving Game developed by Finnish studio Remedy Entertainment and published by Apogee Software in 1996. It was one of the last titles to be published under the Apogee name before the switch to 3D Realms.The game's menus are all 640*480, 256-colour graphics, but the actual races are only at the standard 320*200, 256-colour resolution.The actual races use the classic top-down viewpoint; if you've played the Micro Machines games, you'll know what to expect. The cars are sprites but some elements of the track are in 3D. The player can drive under street lamps and signs, see parallax on rock formations and buildings and drive through tunnels.The game can be played with or without weapons (although weapons make things much more interesting) and the player can even run over the bystanders on the side of the track, although it shouldn't be done intentionally as it slows the player down and damages their car.The original game supports up to 4 players over an IPX network, along with two-player modem and serial-link multiplayer which was standard at the time of development.In October 2009, Remedy released the game as freeware, and also ported it to run on modern Windows operating systems without the need for DOSBox emulation. If the player wants to play multiplayer, they have to use the DOS version and make use of DOSBox's IPX over TCP/IP emulation. The freeware release can be downloaded from Mod DB.A reboot of the game was later created, first for mobile consoles, then for PC. | |

Early Game Hell: The complex track Holocaust/Toxic Dump can turn up on the easy tier. Your car is quite difficult to control before you get at least one tire upgrade, especially on the "Petrol In My Veins" difficulty level. | |

All There in the Manual: The short story in the manual describes the player as the truck driver delivering illegal auto-parts for Death Rally while on the run from the cops, all while True Tom Rhymer preaches from the possessed radio. They delivered, but the truck did not make it, but the Dealer was just "kind" enough to give the player a just recently vacated Vagabond (as in they just dragged out a bloody bullet-ridden driver just moments ago) as payment. | |

| Death Rally (Video Game) / int_230d64 | comment |
Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: One of the services of the underground market is for-pay sabotage. For the right price the player's highest-ranked opponent will start the next race with a damaged car (up to 50% worth, but usually somewhere around 35%). Fortunately for the player, this is the one service from the underground market the AI will never buy. However, sabotage is unavailable when the player go up against the Adversary. | |

The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard | |
| Death Rally (Video Game) / int_6041e4f4 | comment |
The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: You'd better believe it. Opponent drivers always have their cars fully repaired between races, and never have to worry about money. In addition, on the standard difficulty level they get a speed boost as soon as you overtake them as well as a small boost during the final lap. On hard difficulty ('Petrol in my Veins'), these bonuses are further increased, allowing even vastly inferior cars to keep up with you - for example, watch as a Shrieker (3rd best car) starts overtaking your fully-upgraded Deliverator (best car). In addition, on hard difficulty the opponents' cars are harder to wreck. On the flip side, computer drivers will never buy a better car. | |

Spirit Advisor: In between races, the player can read messages from one True Tom Rhymer, a racer who was slain at the hands of the Adversary after he dared to challenge him to a race. He speaks to the player from his car-coffin grave, offering the player advice with a religious reverence for cars, racing and the long road that lies before the player. | |

Critical Existence Failure | |
| Death Rally (Video Game) / int_64f0c18c | comment |
Critical Existence Failure: In the main race, cars do not show any damage in the race or suffer reduced performance until damage hits 100%, at which point they become flaming wrecks... which can be restored with a bit of luck at the right time, and an opponent bumping the player to touch a nearby item. However, provided that the player play with the extended GUI instead of the reduced one, the picture of the car on the left does show increasing amounts of damage, and the player can see the damage meter of other cars. | |

Nitro Boost | |
| Death Rally (Video Game) / int_95f972d2 | comment |
Nitro Boost: If weapons are enabled, the player can buy the Rocket Fuel powerup before a race from the Underground Market, which replaces their regular boost for an entire race. The catch is that it damages their vehicle when it is used, although it does speed the player up much more than the regular boost. On the other hand, the player's regular boost isn't as powerful but does not damage the player. Two "Medium"/"Hard" level tracks, Velodrome and its mirror Eidolon, have "speed strips" the player can drive on to speed themselves up. | |

| Death Rally (Video Game) / int_97ebe48b | comment |
Pacifist Run: The player may choose to disable weapons, making it a normal racing game. There're no bonuses for 2% of damage or destroying all the cars, no Professional Killer, no drug dealer, and no Loan Shark; and while the player can still ram opponents, it's only useful to slow them down rather than knock them out completely. The repair bills tend to be high, but the player can focus on improving their car instead of thinking about what to buy in the Underground Market. The good thing is that the bonus for winning streak is still there. | |

Car Fu | |
| Death Rally (Video Game) / int_c2d978fe | comment |
Car Fu: The player's machine gun has very limited ammunition, so the player's other primary weapon is ramming the opposing cars into obstacles, mines, innocent bystanders, and each other, preferably with spiked bumpers on. | |

Vehicular Combat: Any time the player plays with weapons enabled. The Grim Reaper himself hands the player a cash bonus for wiping out all three of the player's opponents by the end of the race. Don't try to take out Duke Nukem though; he's got thicker armor then anybody else save The Adversary. | |

Professional Killer: Occasionally, a race sponsor will offer a cash reward if the player takes out a specific racer. The amount the player is rewarded with is based on the race difficulty. The Grim Reaper himself will reward the player for destroying all the other racers. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Death Rally (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Several of the drivers (barring Duke Nukem) have names referencing other characters or real life people: Bogus Bill, Farmer Ted, Cher Stone, Greg Peck, Clint West, Mad Mac and Jane Honda. From Duke Nukem: the player can select him as the player's portrait, and there are various one-liners such as "Let's Rock" and "Hail To The King, Baby". If the player takes between 50% and 60% of damage during a race, (or, if the player took more, fix until reaching this range) the Repair option will invoke Duke Nukem's "Uhoh, that's gotta hurt" one-liner. There's one to Star Trek after the player buy the first tire upgrade: While the cars are either generic or based on Real Life ones (for example, the Wraith is an Expy of the Porsche 911), the Deliverator looks based in the Mach 5 from Speed Racer | |

A.I. Breaker | |
| Death Rally (Video Game) / int_d0ea147f | comment |
A.I. Breaker: One of the few reasonable ways to beat The Adversary is to place mines in the right place so he crashes trying to avoid it every lap. This also counts for normal races. In the normal tracks, the player can push opponents to the outer-centric areas. They would go on loops until they find a way to get out of it. Since the AI follows a specific track, planting mines on this trajectory is usually a sure hit. | |

Mushroom Samba | |
| Death Rally (Video Game) / int_f7d4f121 | comment |
Mushroom Samba: the player's screen goes all wavy if the player picks up a mushroom and the player hears a voice saying "Whoaaaaa maaaaannnnnn~" It's worth noting that this Interface Screw also affects the AI, and in some cases it affects them more than it does to human players. | |

No-Damage Run | |
| Death Rally (Video Game) / int_fac8c4d6 | comment |
No-Damage Run: Finishing the race with 2% or less damage with weapons enabled does give the player a nice bonus, with the sponsor claiming not a scratch on it. Players can fake out a pristine-quality car by picking up enough repair powerups to reduce their vehicle's damage to the required range, but as far as the sponsor is concerned, it was untouched. | |

Loan Shark | |
| Death Rally (Video Game) / int_fb5ab090 | comment |
Loan Shark: Once the player gets a Dervish or better, they can borrow money from him. If they don't have enough money to pay him back after 3 races, he'll take one of their upgrades. If the player doesn't have any upgrades, he'll damage the player's car. And if the player's car is already totalled, well... In the end, the alternatives (such as playing a race in Medium or Easy when the player has a "Hard" ranked car) often end up much cheaper than just paying the guy back. | |
