Released in 1985 for the NES, City Connection is a highway action game which sees you race to drive all the highways of the world! As a young Californian driving a customized automobile, you must avoid pesky cats and the ever-present police who will stop at nothing to bring your journey to a screeching halt.
Utilising oil cans and death-defying jumps, throw your assailants off your trail and travel the world from New York to Egypt in this exciting arcade game!

I used to have this game before, I remember it being really fun but repetitive. I dont know how well it holds up now.

The premise seems cool, but how plentiful are the in/oncoming cars, how aggressive are the cop cars, and most importantly, how long does it take to paint the whole game once through?

What's this about horrible music? I thought it was kinda catchy, actually. If there's any major flaw, it's just too high-pitched. The game itself, however, looked pretty dull.

It was one of the first games i've ever played, don't be hard on it, it's a little game that is fun. Probably is not worth the download, but is not a bad game.

On the VC probably there isn't, but i'm not trying to make you like it lol, probably i'm the only person that enjoyed it...

A game on the VC that's worse? How 'bout China Warrior, Spelunker, Donkey Kong Jr. Math, The Legend of Kage, or Super Thunder Blade? The VC's chocked full of games more craptacular than City Connection.

I didn't emulate this and found it quite enjoyable. Not worth a purchase, but enjoyable.

Don't 4get Cruis'n USA, baseball, Urban Champion, and Ecco Jr., among many others!
@2hip
How did you find it enjoyable if you didn't emulate it? Did you play it at the arcade or as an NES cartridge? How can you say you enjoyed something if you didn't play it?
Edit: this game's annoyingly high-pitched music reminds me of The Legend of Kage, though a little less irritating.

Is the music in the vid the one you call that terrible in the review? I think it sounds great actually. I'm serious: What the heck did you find to be so bad about it?

jaleco had the occasional decent game here and there. i hope this means we're getting pinball quest at some point in time...

Probably my biggest VC regret... I guess it's entertaining in small doses though

@brooks83: Thank you for saying that. This title had appealed to me but hearing that and seeing other similar responses has helped me put things in perspective.
