NARC

Platform: NES Year: 1989 Developer: Rare Coin-It, Inc. Buy: Amazon

NARC is a home console port of the arcade game NARC. Player 1 takes the role of Max Force (Blue cop) and player 2 takes the role of Hit Man (Red cop) and they must stop drug dealers and Mr. Big. The game was supposed to send players the message of not to do drugs. This was an inferior port of the game. Though, the game was pretty violent for a Nintendo game, there's blood and when you shoot people with bombs, their body parts scatter all over the place. The game's subtitle was, "No one had the guts... until now."

Music

The music is really good in this game. Marc LoCascio and Brian Schmidt's music from the arcade version was ported to the NES. Not all the songs are from the arcade version though because some songs in the arcade version used digital samples and the NES couldn't really handle it. The unknown song is the In-Game 4 song with different sounding drums. This may have been intended for the final boss Mr. Big because the In-Game 4 plays there instead.

Since the game lacks credits, we have contacted the only known composer at Rare at the time, David Wise and he confirmed that he was the composer for this game. Like his other NES music, Wise programmed the music using his own sound driver.

Game Rip

Ripping NES music is a very arduous process that is beyond the scope of this site.
