City Connection	Jaleco;Jaleco USA (Hect)	1985	[media=youtube]https://youtu.be/z5Z43hDnzfQ[/media]* [100]シティコネクション literally reads [code]shiti konekushon[/code]The goal in "City Connection" is to drive with your car over each segment of all platforms while avoiding police cars and other stuff (especially a very nasty cat that always appears on the road when you least expect it). In addition to the ability to jump, your car can shoot enemies. After completing a stage you make your way to the next stage which takes place in another famous city somewhere in the world. City Connection is a strange platform game, but not without its qualities. Graphics and sound are ok for a game from 1985 and the gameplay is motivating enough to try the game for a couple of rounds.*Based on the arcade hit, a young man born in California sets out to tour famous sites and cities around the world. As he drives the highways surrounding these locations, the road is painted white as proof of his visit. Only once all sections of the road have been painted will he move on to the next location in his world tour. Not surprisingly, the local police will chase the driver and do their best to stop him from completing his goal. In addition, cats roam the highways and spikes lie in wait for unsuspecting drivers. To combat these dangers, the driver's customized car can jump, fire cans of oil and collect balloons to warp to a new stage. It's the ultimate road trip.	NES

It features 50 different battle fields in which the players employ one character per turn. The characters can either move, use a skill/item, or enter a RPG-like round based close combat. For beating an enemy the characters will gain experience points and level up which will be kept for further sessions.	NES
Paris-Dakar Rally Special!	Sony (ISCO)	1988	"Paris-Dakar Rally Special!" is the strangest interpretation of a Paris-Dakar rally game I have ever encountered. From the title you might expect an ordinary racing game, but you can't be possible more wrong. The game consists of several stages, each with vastly different gameplay. First of all the game starts in Tokyo in an adventure mode. You have to walk around the city and must get a car, money and a sponsor for the race. After that you switch between top-down racing stages and side-view stages. The top-down view stages are also very different from each other. One level features a maze-like design with narrow streets in another one you have to evade desert creatures and the most astonishing one has you to avoid and shoot hostile tanks and jetfighters! And yes you are able to shoot in some of the stages. The side-view stages are reflex-tests. You are driving your car, again shooting creatures and avoiding stuff like falling eggs from birds or huge boulders rolling down the street. From time to time your characters must leave the car and jump over some pits to activate levers in order to being able to progress with the car again. One level even takes place underwater... yes driving in your car. All this sounds pretty insane and thats exactly what it is. An insane mix of gameplay elements. Nothing plays particularly well and the game is by no means a good one. But at least it did surprise me in a funny way I must admit.	NES
Operation Thunderbolt	Taito	1994	In OPERATION THUNDERBOLT, Trans Global Flight #520 has been hijacked and the passengers have been relocated to the terrorist's headquarters.

Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars	Revolution (Revolution Software)	2002	Adapted from one of the most popular PC games in Europe, Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars is the story of George Stobbard, an American in Paris who witnesses the theft of an ancient manuscript and the assassination of its owner. This manuscript was created in the 14th century by the order of the Knights Templar and points to where their legendary power has been hidden for more than 600 years. Its new owners intend to harness the power for their own sinister agenda. This version of the game re-creates the original's graphic-novel look, puzzles, locations, and characters, as well as the original soundtrack.*** [32]	GBA
