City Connection is a 1988 arcade action platform game developed by Jaleco for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Driving a blue Honda City hatchback across multi-tiered highways in iconic world locations—such as New York, London, Paris, and Tokyo—players must paint every section of road by driving over it while evading relentless police cruisers and unpredictable road hazards.
How to Play
Navigate each city stage tier by tier, maneuvering your vehicle along elevated highways to paint every grey road segment green. Evade police cars patroling the lanes, collect oil cans scattered across the road to launch at pursuers, and leap between highway levels to reach unpainted sections before time runs out.
Controls
- Arrow Keys (D-Pad): Steer vehicle left or right and turn around
- Z Key (A Button): High jump between highway platform tiers
- X Key (B Button): Throw oil cans at pursuing police cars
- Enter (Start): Start game or pause action
- Shift (Select): Select menu options
Tips & Strategy
- Ram Spun Police Cars: Throw an oil can to spin out police cruisers, then ram into them while they are spinning to knock them off the screen for high bonus scores.
- Never Hit the Cat: Watch closely for the cat holding a flag or balloon that occasionally appears on the road; colliding with it causes an instant crash and loses a life, so jump over it immediately.
- Plan Tier Routes Efficiently: Work your way down from top highway tiers to lower ones to cover all unpainted road sections without getting trapped in dead-end jumps.
