Rally Trophy Game Views

General Goods

Rally Trophy is a historic PC rally simulation, created by Bugbear Entertainment and JoWood Productions. The cars modelled are Mini Cooper 1275S, Saab 96 V4, Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA, Fiat 600 Abarth, Opel Kadett, Lancia Fulvia, Ford Cortina, Ford Escort MK1 RS2000, Volvo Amazon, Alpine A110 and Lancia Stratos. In the game, the player is taken through 42 highly detailed stages in five countries - Russia, Sweden, Finland, Switzerland and Kenya - which cover several road surfaces including gravel, mud and tarmac. Stages take place in all weather conditions such as rain in both the day and night. Damage is accurately re-created, even down to broken headlights which the player must of course preserve to see during night stages. Rally Trophy was considered by many people to be the Grand Prix Legends of rally driving, due to its focus on historic cars, and the physics models of the cars (with no traction control or driver aids) being relatively realistic and challenging for its time.

It seems that Rally Trophy is a very old game (95, 98, 2000). It might not work with Windows 7 but you cantry to install the game in compatibility mode and check whether you are able to play the game, but not sure whether it will work or not. Follow the steps mentioned in the article given below to install and play the game in compatibility mode.

Many older games (pre '04) run fine with Win7, but some don't. If Rally Trophy has an option to install direct X then allow it to do so. There is only one DX 8 file (to my knowledge) it is called -d3d8thk.dll . Look carefully in you Windows System 32 folder . If this file is there then you don't need to install it.

I don't know what pad you are using, but my Logitech dual shock works on the games I use it with - Win7 or XP (I used to use it with driving games, but now I use a MOMO wheel. The dual shock is still handy with GTA4 though ). I mostly use a Logitech G13 and mouse. While I don't have 'Rally Trophy' I do have several older games, and it works fine with them.
