- TRIVIA -

Namco Classics Collection Vol.2 was released in March 1996.

One major note for purists : The 'original' versions of "Rally-X" and "New Rally-X" have been slightly altered. Those games originally used a horizontal monitor. They have been altered to use a vertical one. What they did is moved the map and scoring section from the side to the bottom, leaving the actual gameplay area basically unchanged.
