April 21, 2001 Rally 1000 v4.2 Dave Mayes
Reviewer: Dave  Rating: (5 of 5)
Pros
Not your ordinary card game
Fun and addictive 
Freeware
Cons
None

This is a road racing card game. Remember that old card game Mille Bornes? Rally 1000 appears to be modeled after Mille Bornes. You draw seven cards, (the computer picks six for you at the start of the game). Your objective is get to 700 points before the computer beats you too it. You have the choice of extending the round to 1000 points to make the extra 300 if you wish. With 700 points you will win the round, to win the game you must get 5000 points. You get extra points for playing a safety card. You can only go on a Green Light. Watch out, the computer could play a hazard card such as a flat tire, accident or out of gas. To counteract those hazards you could have a spare tire, gas can, or wrench. There are safeties as well they include Driving Ace, Right Of Way, never of Gas and Never Flat.  

The race is on!

I win the round!

The score after round 1

The rules are easy to learn, a game does not take that long to play and there are three levels of difficulty. Version 4.2 also supports colour units and only takes up about 40K.

Final Words:
This game is extremely addictive and I have to say it is defiantly recommended for those extra few minutes you find yourself wondering what to do during the day. Be careful though, if you are like me you will play until you are late for your next appointment!
