Play City Connection Online

City Connection was released on the NES in 1985, developed and published by Jaleco. It stood out among early NES titles, feeling quirky and different from the usual platformers or shooters of the era. Few games revolved around a car whose main mission is to paint the streets.

Players control a small, agile car, progressing screen by screen across a world map. The goal is to cover all sections of the road with paint while avoiding police vehicles and obstacles. Core mechanics include jumping between platforms and ledges, occasionally bouncing off oil cans to change direction or gain extra height. The pace is relentless; enemies respawn rapidly, and a mistimed jump can cost a life. The game delivers a tense, slightly chaotic challenge where every move must be precise and intentional.
