Arcade Archives: City Connection

City Connection is a 1985 platform video game developed and published by Jaleco for arcades. It was released in North America by Kitkorp as Cruisin'. The player controls Clarice in her Honda City hatchback and must drive over elevated roads to paint them. Clarice is pursued by police cars, which she can stun by hitting them with oil cans. The design was inspired by maze chase games like Pac-Man (1980) and Make Trax (1981). City Connection was ported to the Famicom/Nintendo Entertainment System, MSX and ZX Spectrum. It was re-released in several Jaleco game collections and services such as the Wii's Virtual Console.
