I have been emailing Hamster for a couple years for a Bosconian release. I did find it available on ant stream for fire stick.

This makes me want to play Bosconian. It's interesting to read about what was once innovative. Bosconian actually reminds me a little bit of Star Fox 2, mainly the flying around the map to destroy enemy bases part. Though they're incredibly different so I'm not sure if anyone else sees it. The alert system also makes me think of stealth games.

Also not sure I knew the extra life/point item in Smash Bros was from Rally X.

Once Namco became a developer on the Smash Bros. games, all these extra bits of their own history started making their way in. Which is plenty fitting for a series like Smash that takes history into account so much, considering Nintendo and Namco have had a close relationship for so long that was personal and became professional over time.
