High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Death Rally is a top-down perspective racing video game developed by Remedy, published by Apogee and distributed by GT Interactive. It was released on September 6, 1996. In the game, the player starts with $495 and a lowly car named Vagabond (based on the VW Beetle), and must compete in deadly races where all cars are armed (game without guns is an option), and win money by finishing top, collecting money bonus or fulfilling missions. The final goal is defeating the Adversary, the undisputed king of Death Rally. This game was updated for modern operating systems and re-released as freeware by Remedy Entertainment in 2009. On January 11, 2011, Remedy announced that a remake of Death Rally will be released on the iPhone and iPad in March 2011. The remake was released on 31 March 2011 on App Store as a universal app for 3rd generation devices and higher.
