    Former neighbors and childhood friends, James and John are the Neighbor Nerds! They play new and retro games, just like they did back in the day. Today they're playing Prison City, a dystopian, action-packed side-scroller with tight mechanics and intricate level design. Battle Techno-Terrorists with your chakram and grenades, eat hot dogs for health, and locate contacts to help take down bosses. Reminds us of old NES games like Power Blade, Shatterhand, and Batman.

But rather than copying it too or referencing the sounds, I instead took their song's verse structure and wrote a song with it in my template. :)

    If not a sequel to power blade definitely a spiritual successor, similar sprites, backdrop, weapon/item management.

    Looks like Shatterhand which IMO is one of the best NES games. Loving this series James!
