The squeaky wheel gets the grease or in this case the speedy wheel gets the win. Jaleco knew it from the beginning and brought us their 1985 arcade winner... City connection....Start your engine let's go for a ride.

Welcome back to the Brainstorm Emporium Gaming City Connection[a] is a 1985 platform game developed by NMK and published in arcades by Jaleco. The player controls Clarice in her Honda City hatchback...yes...this one.. and must drive over elevating roads to paint them. Clarice is constantly under pursuit by police cars, which she can take out by launching oil cans at them, temporarily stunning them, and then ramming into them with her car. No worries you will get away with it

The game is credited for having one of the first female protagonists in a console game. In City Connection, the player controls Clarice, a blue-haired teen driving an orange Honda City hatchback, as she travels around the world in the quest of finding herself the perfect man.

I can’t even imagine how many boys you’re driving crazy

Clarice traverses through twelve side-scrolling stages that take place within famous locations around the world, including New York, London, and Japan. Last time she had been seen was in Puerto Escondido, Mexico....

To clear these levels, the player must drive over each of the elevated highways to change their color from white to green. The car can jump over large gaps to reach higher sections of the stage.

Clarice is constantly being pursued by police cars that follow her around the stage, and must also avoid flag-waving cats that block her from moving past them.

Do you like cats? Never mind, I don’t care. Clarice can collect and launch oil cans at police cars and traffic vehicles to temporarily stun them

ramming into them while stunned will knock them off the stage. Cats are invulnerable to oil cans, and cannot be killed by any means.

If the player remains on the same stage for an extended period of time, spikes extrude from the ground and instantly kills them. On occasion, a red-colored balloon may appear in the stage, and collecting three of these warps the player to a new area and grants them bonus points.

City Connectionis credited as being one of the first to use new music tracks for each stage as opposed to recycling one song.

Everything ends. Good times don’t last forever, thanks for watching I love you all, see you next time if not has been a pleasure.
