City
Hunter is first and formost a massively successful
manga comic and TV animation series by Tsukasa Hojo,
that made quite a name for itself in Japan and a lot
of Europe during the late 80s. It was even adapted into
a Jackie Chan movie in 1993.
It's also a relatively miscallaneous PC
Engine tie-in release, featuring archetypal 'run
and gun' action similar to Rolling
Thunder (1986).
The basic gameplay revolves around finding clues and
items, then returning to a certain point in the level
in order to move on.
And it's not half bad... But sadly the game never really
took off outside of Japan, because without understanding
(or knowing) the language, City Hunter is an
utterly meaningless experience - there is simply too
much text.
Today original copies of the game do retain some value,
but this is mainly due to the series it is associated
with.
Which, incidentally, is one of the best anime serials
ever made. |

as a nice piece of vintage
anime memorabilia.
