Screenshot Quiz #2 (NES)
Congratulations to Sister Merry Kerry for guessing the right answer in our first Screenshot Quiz. This one should be a little tougher. Enjoy! Name this NES Game!
The Adventures of Bayou Billy is a video game released in 1989 by Konami for the NES. It was released in Japan as Mad City in 1988.
It consists of three distinct playing styles: shooting (optionally allowing the use of a Zapper), a side-scrolling beat 'em up, and a third-person driving section. Unfortunately, all three modes (especially the side-scroller) were not well executed, and the game remained unpopular among gamers, despite Konami's record of hit titles on the NES. During its release, Konami hyped the game, and went as far to sign a deal with Archie comics, but nothing was worked with it. Part of the game's unpopularity was due to a rather high difficulty level, making the game very hard to beat.
