Segaiden #46: Gangster Town & Great Volleyball (Patreon)
Content
Well! This is more like it.
Gangster Town may stack its odds unfairly against a single player, but maybe that's OK—it seems like the kind of game you'd want to share with a friend (in cooperative mode, you see?). Rather than being some bog-standard arcade interpretation that simply puts the Master System on equal light gun footing with Nintendo's NES, Gangster Town plays like nothing else before it. I mean, the first proper stage consists of a car chase. That's some Lucky & Wild shenanigans on an 8-bit system. Unbelievable. And, yet, here we are.
I have fewer kind words for Great Volleyball. Actually, looking more closely, that tally actually appears to be no kind words. Alors!
