[Source] Arcade Disc In JALECO -VARIETY- City Connection CDGM-10016 Nov 13, 2013 [Generator] MAME 0.152 (modded by Valley Bell) In the 1930s, two private detectives, Rick and Allen, are hired to track down the villains responsible for kidnapping a rich man's daughter. Are they going to rescue her through investigation and interrogation? Hell no! They're going to do it by beating the stuffing out of everyone they meet, because this is a beat-'em-up, not a mystery game! Hilariously out-of-place storyline aside, this is a rather mediocre game. The artwork is awful (why doesn't anyone in this game have a neck?), the design nothing special (throwing your foe into the background aside), and the gameplay below average due to cheap hits by the bosses (especially those overall-clad jerks in Stage 3). But the soundtrack's at least decent, if frequently repetitive, with only the "Boss" music hard to listen to. At least it was good enough to interest me in making a pack of it. That, and the sheer novelty of a 1930s detective-themed beat-'em-up. Oh, and people who like using MAME would find this game at or near the top of the list on MAME ROM sites for a long while, which likely contributed to how many people actually know about this game. So there you go. There is an odd anecdote about the track titles, which is that the track titles on the Arcade Disc In JALECO -VARIETY- disc match the track titles on the BridgeM1 track list for this game apart from the unused tracks. The catch? The album was released in 2013, while the list was put together in 2004! Did City Connection like the track names in the list enough to use them for the album? Or is it just an odd coincidence? Who knows? Oh, and here's a note about the sound hardware in this game. While the game uses two OKIM6295 chips, one of them is used only for the sound effects. Enjoy!
