City Bomber (World)

Konami’s City Bomber appeared in arcades in 1987 and delivers fast-paced, cooperative action as two players pursue criminals through a vertically scrolling cityscape. Using an eight-way joystick, players control vehicles tasked with intercepting fleeing offenders; the game presents an overhead perspective of the chase. The gameplay emphasizes quick reflexes and teamwork as you navigate increasingly complex urban environments to apprehend those evading capture. City Bomber features a distinctive soundtrack released on CD by King Records in 1989 alongside other Konami game music. Powered by a Motorola 68000 processor, the game’s audio is produced using a combination of sound chips including a Zilog Z80 and Yamaha YM3812. Two players can simultaneously engage with this driving shooter, enhancing the challenge and excitement of pursuing justice on the streets.
