"SO YOU WANT TO BE THE NEXT WORLD RALLY CHAMPION? WELL HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO DO JUST THAT!
Rally Championships is one of the best rally games yet. Featuring rallying at its best from Snowy Scandinavia to the Dusty East African Bush, from French City Streets to South Eastern Asia, Tropical Rainforests to nerve-wracking Alpine Passes. Battle it out over single stage rallies or a full world series, with ever-changing weather conditions including rain, snow, fog and the deadly desert heat. Try your skill during the day and even at night. Manage your own climb to the top, hire the most experienced navigators, change tyres to suit the conditions and use your prize money to buy the very best rally car, choosing from the Porsche RS, Peugeot 205 Rally, Opel Calibra, Lancia Delta, Ford Escort Turbo and the Toyota Celica."
Rally Championships was released for Dos PC as well a in two version for the Amiga. The 1200 AGA version played here and a cut down version for A500 class Amigas and I'm not talking cut as in just the number of colours, but also content that damages the whole presentation of the game. Published by Flair software this is not too surprising as they seemed to specialise in games that didn't have the commercial quality of games just a year prior.
This is, as the title suggests a rally game similar to Power Drive or if you squint, maybe Drift Out. First off, you can choose between singular rallies differing by difficulty, or go right into the World Championship playing all tracks. The game is just you against the clock. It doesnt matter what time you get at the end but you must finish within the time limit represented by the maximum time at the top of the screen. Reach it, and it's game over. Between tracks you can refuel as well as repair car damage all of which cost money. Money is gained by getting through the stages and can be spent on repairs, fuel and tyres. Damage is costly to repair and it may be better to perceiver and hope you can afford a new car in
