dementedhut's Arcade Archives: Crime City review

Hey pick! Still super prolific I see!

I'll forgive you for not loving this game like I did. I know it hit me at the right time in my life and that's 99% of why I still play it to this day. (And it being an easy, breezy, duck-and-shoot, pick-up-and-play exercise.)

I'm with you on the bouts of ingenuity: shooting the lights out, dropping overhead fixtures on enemies' heads, etc. And the Zuntata score, while limited/repetitive, does bang.

Good review. And now I have to try Rolling Thunder.

I understand about a game hitting at the right time; for me, my Rolling Thunder "lite" was Sly Spy. I never got far, but it always gave me such a cool first impression: sky diving out of an airplane and then shooting a bunch of terrorists in front of the Lincoln Memorial as the 16th President looks on with approval.

It probably wouldn't give the same impression if I played the whole game now, but that's why nostalgia can be fun sometimes.

Thanks for reading!
