Dead Connection - Mafia Themed Classic Arcade Shooter (Taito 1992)
23An old school mafia themed arcade shooter that was developed and published by Taito back in 1992. In Dead Connection, players take on the role of 1 of 4 crime fighting detectives out to avenge the death of a woman who gets caught between the cross-fire of an ongoing mafia war.
The game bears the "Taito Film" insignia, in which Taito sought to add more depth and a more immersive story line to arcade games. Dead Connection features a new cinematic progression that plays out at the beginning of each successive stage in the game.
The game is a fast paced, run 'n gun shooter! Your character has a dash and roll maneuver, as well as melee attacks if you get close enough to your opponents. There's also upgradable weapons, and objects can be destroyed to reveal power-ups, as well as additional points to top off your current score.
The game's story line is pitted in 1953, with crime fighters seeking to bring an end to the mafia boss "Nerozzia." The game ultimately ends with the detectives being cornered by Nerozzia. Assuming it was the end they dropped their weapons and gave up; only for a mysterious woman to appear, who takes down Nerozzi, saving the detectives in the process.
One interesting thing to note is the game's 80's inspired retro themed synthwave soundtrack, which was rather quite appealing to listen to as the game progressed.
