NARC ports the Williams arcade police shoot on Acclaim NES with its narcotics squad agents eliminating dealers in oblique view. The representation chains vertical scrolling with multi directional shooting and two player cooperation in a controversial arcade port formula. Honest for NES run and gun fans, curiosity of the 8 bit Acclaim catalog.

A questionable morality

Playing a narcotics-squad agent makes a flawless moral alibi for what remains a frantic shootout: you pulverize dealers one after another, then calmly scoop up the drugs and wads of cash they drop. The anti-drug crusade comes paired with a strange habit of collecting for yourself the very things you were supposed to be fighting.
