Fun Car Rally was an unreleased prototype likely developed by MagiCom (later FunCom) in 1992. It would eventually be sold to Accolade and become the basis for Combat Cars.

The title music appears to have been taken from The Beach Boys' Fun Fun Fun. The reasons for the title and music changes are unknown.

You can play as either warriors or monsters, but otherwise this is a typical fighting game with a dedicated jump button (as Up moves back). Although the title screen reads "1992", the arcade game was first sold in early 1993.
