Metro-Cross

Platform: Arcade Year: 1986 Developer: Namco, Ltd.

Metro-Cross was an arcade game created by Namco. In this game, you play as a rollerskater who must go through over 30 levels. The gameplay is very simple; get your skater from point A to point B within the allotted time limit. It's not as easy as you may think, however. There are all kinds of obstacles that will slow you down including giant pop cans, platforms that make you move slower and pits you can fall in. You can jump on smaller coke cans to temporarily stop the timer.

Music

The game's expectations can be pretty low since this is a game from 1985. The main theme you'll hear throughout the game is a jazzy-sounding which is pretty lengthy. There are other short fanfares as well but they don't do the game too much justice.

While the game lacks credits, it has become common knowledge that Nobuyuki Ohnogi composed the music. The music was probably written in hexadecimal or MML.

The Main Theme and Name Entry music are programmed to loop, however, in the game's sound test, all the songs play once regardless whether they loop in the game or not. When the music can be recorded while looped, the soundtrack will be reuploaded with looped versions of the songs.
