The famous COLOUR rally simulation is available for the Palm OS! Are you ready to win the supreme title of WORLD RALLY CHAMPION DRIVER? You'll have to master the incredible power of authentic rally cars throughout 20 very demanding special stages on very different surfaces such as asphalt, snow, mud, gravel....

Runs on grayscale devices... | ...and on colour devices!

| Race on 20 Original Tracks and various terrains (Jungle, Deserts, Mountains and many more).

Choose from 4 Official World Rally Championship Cars:
Peugeot 306 MAXI,
Mitsubishi Lancer WRC,
Ford Escort WRC,
Subaru Impreza WRC

| Tracks in 10 Locations (Indonesia, African Safari, Corsica, New Zealand, French Alps, United Kingdom, Greece, Argentina, Italy and Sweden)
| 3 Race modes: Practice, Arcade, Championship
| Smooth Animations (Sliding, Skidding, Somersaulting and Crashes)

the green hills of Corsica | V-Rally actually makes players feel like they're driving on rally tracks that go up hills and down into valleys, through rain, mud patches and even snow. The game sports superb graphics that include land- or cityscapes at the horizon, roadside obstacles (including signs, buildings and more), and varying street conditions. You will be impressed by the 3D look of the multi-colored road and the details of the cars and the tracks. Pocket racing certainly has come a long way!

Are you a rookie, a pro or an ACE driver? Choose the right car for your driving style if you want to stand a chance!
V-Rally offers you a choice of 4 cars. The cars are characterized by four different attributes:
ACCELERATION: acceleration potential.
MAX SPEED: maximum speed.
GRIP: roadholding.
BRAKING: braking effectiveness. Watch out for narrow turns, objects on the road and competing cars... Collisions may cause you to bounce a bit and lose speed, but if you smash into an obstacle at high speed you are penalised with a time intensive car flipping animation! Braking for tight turns or obstacles is just as essential as using your quick reflexes to avoid smashing into another car or skidding through an oil patch. But first of all, you need SPEED!"

The African Safari at night

The hectic Italian streets

The actual game itself offers 3 modes:
Practice, Arcade and Championship.
Practice mode is for training. Here you can acquire the necessary skills before moving on to the challenges of the other modes.
Arcade mode has players compete with 10 other cars in 10 different stages (divided into three difficulties), such as Indonesia, Greece, Corsica, England, Sweden, Italy, the French Alps, New Zealand, Argentina and an African Safari trek. You have to pass three checkpoints before your time runs out. Win the race and you loose no credit.
But the ultimate challenge in V-Rally is in Championship mode. Here you compete in an entire race season of 20 races in 10 different countries, to become the WORLD CHAMPION..., or not as the case may be! One wrong move may spoil your season... Will you be fast enough on the broad roads of Greece? Will you drive with skill around the twisty mountain roads of the French Alps? Are you the ACE driver that can win the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS? !

"An excellent racer: This game is excellent -- at times, it's hard to believe that this is running on my little handheld. The graphics are excellent, the sound is pretty good for the handheld, and the number of tracks and cars makes for great replayability. I've only played it on my Handspring Visor Platinum, so how it looks in color or how it performs on the slower Palm systems (or lesser Visors), I cannot say. But on my system, it's a dream to play. Download the demo; love it; buy it. This is a must-have." - CNET download.com
"This is without doubt the best game ever to make it onto the Palm. If this is a sign of things to come perhaps Nintendo has something to worry about after all." - Mobile Computer User
"I love the various courses have up and down, the weather is changing. I was very impressed with this game. Thank you for developing such a great game! Our review will help the japanese to understand how to play

"V-Rally is een van de beste racespellen die op dit moment beschikbaar zijn voor het Palm-platform. Vooral als je op zoek bent naar een spel in kleur, is V-Rally een echte aanrader." - Nederlandse Palmclub
"...I can't wait for the full version, I'll be sure to buy it. This is the best palm game ever produced..." - PalmGear reviews
"...The game is amazing. Do these companies know some sort of secret about the Palm that nobody else knows? Where does all the performance come from?..." - PDABuzz.com
"...the most impressive features of this Palm version are its outstanding graphics and smooth animation. Don't be surprised to find your foot reaching for the brake pedal as you skid through oil slicks, slide on ice and somersault over other cars. Scrolling 3D graphics make you feel like you're really racing through the twisting roads of the French Alps..." - ZDNet
