Segaiden #46: Gangster Town & Great Volleyball
🕑 Added 2023-04-12 11:42:51 +0000 UTCWell! 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!

Yo. Hang on. There are cheats on the MiSTer core? Why have I not seen those in my extensive journey through the menus to get SNAC stuff set up??

Gangster Town is one of the best light gun shooters of the 8-bit era. It helps to have cheats available on MiSTer.
