Dead Connection Arcade
12New York, September 5, 1953. The mafia runs rampant throughout the country, drugs flood the street, and criminals strike with impunity. Four FBI agents - Philip Lloyd, James Chandler, Eddie Carlton, and Gary Cougar, each one bringing special expertise - decided to take it upon themselves to clean up a city taken over by gangsters.
After having suffered personal loss at the hands of the hoods, the four agents decide to find the big boss and eliminate him, which involves finding his various henchmen and interrogating them.
The game has a strong film noir vibe, shown through the appearance of the detectives and the featuring of a female protagonist. Each stage is preceded by a short cinematic interlude that explains the transition between the game's different locales.
The in-game manoeuvres were unusually diverse for a sprite-based shoot 'em up game of the era. When the player moves his character to within arm's length of an enemy, the shoot button triggers a melee attack.
The player can also lie prone to evade gunfire, and perform a diving somersault in order to quickly take cover behind tables, plants, pillars, statues, and other fixtures.
Each of the eight stages in the game is a fixed location, and has the player killing a certain amount of gangsters within a time limit to proceed to the next stage. Dead gangsters usually leave behind their wallets and briefcases, giving players major point bonuses.
The player can also interact with the environment. For example, certain objects can be blown up, revealing illegal ledgers, weapons, drugs, and counterfeit money; and the player can climb up and down ladders and shoot gangsters at different angles.
Most of the environment is destructible and the scenery becomes visibly degraded by bullet holes throughout the prolonged firefights.
The game seems to take specific inspiration from the 1987 mobster film The Untouchables.
Two of the main characters bear an unmistakable resemblance to Andy Garcia and Kevin Costner who both starred in that film as George Stone/Giuseppe Petri and Eliot Ness, respectively.
