Action in New York adapts the action film to NES with its cop traversing New York streets to fight crime. The urban art direction appeals but gameplay stays basic and difficulty uneven. Pleasant for film fans, in the lower middle of 8 bit cinema action tie ins.

Collector interest

Action in New York shows the scarcity typical of PAL NES titles issued by European third parties, here Infogrames, with a small continental run and no North American counterpart under this name. Its high price and elusive complete state make the PAL edition a serious target for anyone building a European NES collection. Value concentrates in the box and manual specific to the continental market.
