Is Mad City still worth playing in 2026?
Mad City is the Japanese version of The Adventures of Bayou Billy, a Konami action game blending barehanded combat, shooting and driving phases in a muscular bayou mood. The variety of sequences and the retro cachet stay enjoyable, but the fearsome difficulty, notably in the rebalanced Western version, and an at-times stiff handling betray the era. This Japanese version proves a little more forgiving. For fans of varied NES action and tough challenge, it is an honest curiosity with an assertive identity.
