@Krm_Mayadagli; NYC *was* definitely PAL-compatible... or at least my UK copy was ("Americana" label release). Pretty safe bet that the German Ariolasoft release was the same (they used PAL too).

You're right that it was available on tape; my "Americana" copy is the tape version.

***NTSC only!
No PAL also...

***Was this game ever released on tape?
Yes. Quite Sure

Long Live...

Il Bastardo already nailed at least two points I would have made; the fact that this game is more than the sum of its mini-game parts, and the comparison with GTA (except here it was the police that seemingly persecuted you, via the notorious pink patrol car!)

BTW, for a surprise, at the start of the game, remain outside the city until your gas runs out (this will take a while!) You can now walk back the way you came and come across a weird jumbled mixture of roads, water and cars!!! (Don't enter the "real" city though or you become trapped within its limits as happens normally).

As a pure collection of arcade games, NYC would provide decent playing value already. But luckily, this game is more than merely the sum of its parts: The many little arcade games are embedded into a very dynamic and amusing traffic simulation, which combines the numerous, fairly challenging tasks to a very satisfying whole. Though the "meal times" tend to get annoying quickly, and the controls react rather fidgety at times, this is a title worth checking out. GTA in its fledgling stages... *g (8/10)

I remember spending a big amount of time with this cute arcade when I was 6. This is totally fun. I was just cruising around with the car without even trying to complete any tasks.

A collection of little arcade games threaded together on a (rather blocky) rendition of NYC - still a lot of fun, though.

Randy: Yeah... I have a nice memories too.... :-)

I remember spending more time driving crazily through traffic than completing the tasks. There was something satisfying about the way the other cars crunched into one another. A good little game!
