Overview

CITY CONNECTION brings a classic dose of retro action with "Abarenbo Tengu & Zombie Nation." This collection features the original "Abarenbo Tengu," a side-scrolling shooter where players take on the role of Namakubi, a samurai head on a mission to save a nation from an alien menace. An evil alien creature has unleashed magnetic rays, turning the populace into zombies and seizing control of a giant statue and other formidable weapons. Your quest is to reclaim a legendary sword and restore peace.

This package also includes "Zombie Nation," the North American version of "Abarenbo Tengu," released in 1991. While sharing the core gameplay, "Zombie Nation" offers a distinct experience for players familiar with its Western release.

Both titles deliver fast-paced side-scrolling shooter action with a distinct pixel art aesthetic, reminiscent of the 1990s arcade and console era.
