City Connection is an action game released in 1985 for the Nintendo NES. The main objective is to drive a car across various city rooftops while painting each section of the road. Players must avoid obstacles and enemies that attempt to stop their progress. The game's pace is steady, requiring both timing and strategy to navigate the complex layouts of the rooftops.
A unique mechanic in City Connection involves jumping between rooftops and gaps, adding a platforming element to the driving experience. The player’s car automatically moves forward, so timing jumps and avoiding hazards is essential to complete each level. Another distinctive element is the absence of traditional racing elements; instead, the focus is on coverage and evasion.
The unusual idea of combining driving with rooftop traversal sets City Connection apart. The game’s colorful pixel art and catchy background music contribute to its charm. Its blend of action and platforming mechanics offers a distinctive challenge within the NES library.
