Release Date: 1988
"City Connection" is a classic arcade-style platform game that was developed and published by Jaleco for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in 1985. Originally an arcade game, it was later ported to the NES, capturing the hearts of many gamers with its unique premise and challenging gameplay. In "City Connection," players take on the role of Clarice (or her male counterpart, depending on the version), who must navigate a series of cities around the world in a car. The objective is to drive across each level, covering every section of the road with paint while avoiding police cars, cats, and other obstacles. The game is known for its looping levels where players must strategically manage their route to cover all areas without getting caught or running out of fuel.
The gameplay mechanics in "City Connection" are distinctive because of the jumping ability of the car, which players can use to evade obstacles or reach different road segments. One innovative feature was the use of items like oil cans, which the player could drop to slip up pursuing police cars. As players progress through various international locales like Tokyo, Paris, and New York, the game's difficulty increases, introducing tighter turns and more aggressive pursuers. Despite its simple premise, "City Connection" demands quick reflexes and strategic planning. The game's lasting appeal can be attributed to its challenging gameplay and the charm of its 8-bit graphics and soundtrack. Over the years, "City Connection" has retained a nostalgic fondness among classic game enthusiasts and continues to be recognized for its contributions to early platforming and arcade-style video gaming.
