THE LAP IS THE ISLAND
About the Rally
Island Rally is an offline arcade racer built around 17 Greek islands. Every circuit follows its island's mapped coastline, while real village names appear along the route. The racing line is fictional and is not the island's road network.
Choose from eight cars spanning the eighties through the 2000s. Their speed and handling are arcade-tuned from published weight, power, drivetrain and acceleration figures. Original low-poly artwork, synthesized engines and five original music themes complete the retro style.
