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.

The Japanese version used the Famicom Four-way Adapter to allow up to to 4 players. The NES Four Score and NES Satellite had not yet been released in the USA by June of 1989, so the NES version was only 2 players and did not include a 4 player option.
[Zerothis]***Part of that killer Technos triplet also consisting of River City Ransom and (four-player) Nintendo World Cup. A 'unique sports game,' six-character teams (three in the left half of the court and three surrounding the opponent's half) attempt to drain all the energy of the three in-court opposing characters (shown in the bars at the top of the screen), thereby winning the match. By running up to the line, the three in-court players can deliver special power throws, each player on the team having two different power throws (running and running-then-jumping).***I don't care what anyone says--this is the [i]best[/i] dodgeball game in existance. Period.

8 Eyes  Seta;Taxan (Thinking Rabbit)1988After hundreds of years of chaos, mankind has finally emerged from the ruins of nuclear war. This world of the distant future has once again flourished under the guidance of the Great King, who harnessed the power of the 8 Eyes to rebuild the planet. These strange jewels of power were formed at the eyes, or center, of the eight nuclear explosions which nearly destroyed the Earth. In the wrong hands, the 8 Eyes could cause untold destruction... And now, they have been seized by the Great King's eight Dukes, in a desperate bid to gain control of the world for themselves. They have banished the King to the nuclear wastelands, and already their squabbling threatens to plunge the world into war once again! The task of retrieving the 8 Eyes falls to you, Orin the Falconer, the bravest and mightiest of the King's Guardsmen. With your fighting falcon, Cutrus, you must penetrate each of the 8 Dukes' castles. There you will face the Dukes' soldiers, and battle strange nuclear mutants such as living skeletons, giant wasps, and mud men. You must defeat the monstrous Boss of each castle to retrieve the Jewel of Power he guards. Then, to complete your quest, return the 8 Eyes to the Altar of Peace to await the return of the Great King, so that he may finish the rebuilding of Earth. Your reward will be the eternal gratitude of all mankind!***
