Bonanza Bros. is a classic 1990 arcade stealth-action platformer developed by Sega. You take on the role of Robo and Mobo, a pair of thieves hired to break into well-guarded locations like mansions and casinos. Instead of relying on brute force, the gameplay revolves around sneaking past guards, hiding behind scenery, and navigating the distinct split-screen perspective to secure the loot and reach the getaway blimp on the roof.
How to Play
Your objective in each stage is to collect all the scattered valuables before the timer runs out, then make it to the roof. Avoid being seen by security guards, dogs, and other hazards. If you get caught, you lose a life.
Arcade Controls:
- Arrow Keys: Move around the environment and climb stairs.
- Z / X: Jump and shoot your stun gun.
- Enter / Shift: Start game / Insert coin.
Tips
- Use Doors to Your Advantage: A famous and highly effective trick is to stand behind closed doors and swing them open just as a guard walks past to squash them flat.
- Your Stun Gun is Temporary: Shooting a guard only stuns them for a few seconds. Do not stick around; grab the nearby loot and move on before they recover.
- Watch for Riot Shields: Later levels introduce guards with riot shields that block your stun gun shots. You must flank them or use doors to take them out.
