Description

"Courier Crisis" is an action-packed urban adventure game released for the Sega Saturn in 1997. Developed by New Level Software and published by GT Interactive, the game puts players in the shoes of a bicycle courier navigating the gritty streets of a sprawling metropolis, modeled after cities like San Francisco and New York. Players must deliver packages within a set time frame while dodging traffic, pedestrians, and rival couriers. The game combines elements of racing and obstacle navigation, as players must choose the quickest routes and perform bike stunts to avoid hazards and ensure timely deliveries.

Significantly, "Courier Crisis" stands out for its open-ended gameplay and urban setting, uncommon in games from that era. Players could explore the city freely, discovering shortcuts and hidden paths that could save time on their routes. The game also featured a variety of bicycles and upgrade options, from speed enhancements to better handling, which added a layer of strategy to the gameplay. Its blend of arcade-style action with real-time decision-making created a niche appeal, making "Courier Crisis" a memorable title for the Sega Saturn despite its mixed reviews for graphics and control responsiveness.
