Overview
Description

Step into the shoes of a gunslinger tasked with protecting a bank from a gang of armed bandits. With twelve doors to monitor, you must time your shots perfectly to stop the outlaws before they fire back, while also handling dynamite threats and rescuing civilians for extra loot. The game blends fast reflexes with strategic door management, offering both solo and competitive multiplayer modes. Earn points by shooting gold, cutting ropes, and defusing dynamite, but beware of shooting innocent bystanders or mistiming your shots, which will cost you lives. Bank Panic delivers classic arcade intensity with simple controls and a high‑score chase that keeps players coming back for more.

Without Warning is a third‑person, arcade‑style shooter that drops players into a sprawling chemical plant during a terrorist crisis. Over twelve intense hours, you switch between six playable roles—including three Special Forces operatives, a security guard, a secretary, and a cameraman—to thwart the plot in a style reminiscent of the TV series 24. The game was Circle Studio’s only console title and marked Capcom’s first Western‑developed release. Despite high expectations, it launched with a low critic score of 40/100, plagued by glitchy AI, technical issues, and a weak storyline.
