Overview
Description

Crime City puts you in the shoes of policemen Tony Gibson and Raymond Broady as they battle through multi‑scrolling streets filled with armed foes. The game blends classic beat‑em‑up action with shooter mechanics, letting you fire a variety of weapons while punching and kicking enemies. Collect power‑ups for stronger guns, extra ammo, and health drinks to survive the relentless waves and face challenging end‑level bosses. Its fast‑paced arcade style delivers nostalgic fun for fans of retro action titles.

Undercover Cops is an arcade‑style beat 'em up developed and published by Irem in 1992. Set in a futuristic New York City in 2043, players control three distinct undercover officers—Bubba, Flame, and Claude—as they battle Dr. Clayborn’s criminal empire. The game features cooperative play, a wide array of improvised weapons, and colorful pixel‑art graphics that capture the gritty, over‑the‑top action of classic side‑scrolling fighters.
