Playing Through My Evercade Collection Part 15: Jaleco Collection
That goddamn cat. Every single game over has involved that goddamn cat in one way or another, springing up on me unexpectedly as I'm driving, me swerving away to avoid only for it to appear right behind me also. Cats appearing as I'm mid-jump, Cats appearing as I'm descending platforms. SO MANY SUICIDAL CATS.
Aside from feline vehicular traffic accidents stopping my game randomly every so often, this game isn't too bad and its quite fun trying to score-chase as you paint each level and send police cars spinning and flinging about as you fire cans at them. Fun times.
I do think I would rather play the arcade edition given a choice simply because of the usual NES screen-crunch making some of the jumps a little too precise and picky. Its not horrible and theres certainly a lot of fun here. Again though, those goddamn cats!

The premise is quite simple but somewhat catchy.
The backgrounds are very pleasing to the eye, especially for its time.
The controls are atrociously unreliable, I cant imagine getting far without rewindable save states. (big yay for NSO)
The cats are a bloody damned headache.
After completing six cities the game loops over so I’ve seen all that it has to offer.
In conclusion, quite a mid one.

The main goal of this game is to get as much points as possible. To do that, you need to roll on some lines with your car.
Your car can jump over enemies (which are police cars and cats) and each stages has 3 differents floors to go to.
The game is really boring since the only thing that you do is to drive the car without hitting anything. The jump timing to go to different floor is precise and getting the stripes on a side of a ledge is really annoying.
I would not recommand this game unless you are curious about it. If you try it, 5 minutes is enough to get an idea of the game.

This was fun enough. The controls are floaty but they feel like they fit a weird game logic. I usually died in mid-jump by hitting another car. I like the basic gameplay loop but I'm not really sure why hitting the cat resets the level. I mean I understand why you need to reset it but why the cat? Anyway, its not something I'm going to go back to often if ever but I don't regret the time spent with it.
A ideia de City Connection é bem divertida. No controle de um carro você deve pintar o chão enquanto desvia de policiais e e obstáculos na pista.
Contudo os controles são um tanto incoerentes, às vezes vc tem plenitude e responsividade às vezes vc enfrenta um delay pro salto que quebra as pernas por conta do timing variável e alcance. Os inimigos também são muito erráticos, tem horas que estão te perseguindo ou bloqueando a passagem, quando há uma ligeira transição da tela (scrolling lateral) às vezes eles somem (!) ou aparecem subitamente, o que exige reflexo rápido.
Pra todos os efeitos é um jogo muito interessante, apesar da simplicidade, mas não me prendeu.
