Championship Rally
Nintendo Entertainment System · 1992
About this game
This unlicensed rally simulation was initially developed by Hal Laboratory and released in Australia in 1991, then ported to the Famicom by Kaken in 1992 under the title Exciting Rally: World Rally Championship .
The game is played from a top-down perspective, and the controls themselves are rather simple: button A allows you to drive at low speed, button B at a higher speed, and the down arrow doubles as brakes and reverse gear.

Arrows will indicate some, but not all, turns, and you will have to keep an eye out for jumps and obstacles.
Your car will accrue damage each time you bump into something, until it finally explodes and you have to retire from the stage.
Two game modes are available.
You can drive through an entire championship with up to seven other human players.
Three classes serving as a difficulty setting, and the competition will take you to ten different countries, where you will have to compete against the times set by AI (and possibly human) opponents across several stages.
Or you can play against two to eight other players in the Battle mode, setting a time one after another on your selected stage.
There is some level of tuning, with the possibility of choosing your tyres according to the surface (tarmac, gravel or snow), whether you want a turbo, and between two and four-wheel drive for each stage.
Once a lap, you can also change your tyres when the letters "SP" appear on the screen ; simply come to a stop and press Select.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Championship Rally for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Championship Rally to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1992.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Championship Rally has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
Frequently asked questions
How much is Championship Rally worth?

Is Championship Rally rare?
Championship Rally has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.
What's the difference between loose, CIB and sealed for Championship Rally?
Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. These are tracked as separate market values because the price gap between them can be significant, especially for older releases.
