坂の都市と呼ばれるサンフランシスコを舞台とした、通信対戦可能なパトカーレーシングゲーム「シスコヒート」。坂の都市という形容から想像できるように、アップダウンの激しいコースでレースは展開される。また、このゲームのコースは直角のカーブが多いという特徴を持つ。ゲーム開始時には、小型と大型2種類のパトカーから選択することができる。前作「ビッグラン」のクラクションシステムも採用されている。また、あまり知られていないが、この「シスコヒート」を開発しているのは、実はデータイーストである。

Cisco Heat [Simulator model] (c) 1990 Jaleco.

A colourful racing game in which the player takes on the role of a police officer who must race his squad car (from a choice of 2; offering either improved 'Speed' or 'Cornering' respectively) through the undulating, winding streets of San Francisco', in an attempt to win the first ever 'National Championship Police Car Steeplechase'.

Each stage is packed with rival squad cars, as well as civilian traffic such as taxis, trams and fire-engines. Ninety-degree turns must also be negotiated in this tricky driving game. Cisco Heat features five different stages.

- TRIVIA -

Released in November 1990.

Also released as :
"Cisco Heat [Upright model]"

Cisco Heat's distinctive graphical approach proved to be a little too ambitious for its host hardware, with flickering and occasionally unpredictable sprites making an appearance.

Jaleco, King of Mid Teir Games

Fun Fact: Its a Same Engine as they used on a previous jaleco racing driving game Dakar Rally in 1989.

This game was left in the shopping center and no one played it, I was always curious since I didn't have any money.

I remember my older brother always being critical of 2-D sprite based, super scaler racing / perspective games (made by any company) and saying "these games are obviously striving for realism, but aren't quite simulators". We had a C64 and CAmiga500 at home, so I guess by then we were already spoiled with ambitious flight & racing simulator games, not even counting vector graphics games which were the first real "arcade simulators".

I love that it features a realistic 70s police car. Like a Dodge Polara with a 440 v8 😁

シスコヒートの名物といえば、
市街地内で曲がるほぼ直角のカーブ。
確かにパトカーでないと
こんな暴走できないわ。w

俺長年最先端技術のゲーム開発してるけど、
2Dスプライトでよくこんなゲーム作れるなーと感心するわ

[lapisnon]

あれ？クラクションで前の車どかしたりできたやつでしたっけ？
なんかもっと賑やかな音してたような記憶があるなあ

[aodhablackheart]

So what are we doing here, is this cops having a race? And jesus it hurts my eyes.

[percentSNAFU]

A racing game with the setting being San Francisco, in the United States, using kilometers per hour for the speed instead of miles per hour. Just seems wrong 😂

Maybe this is from the old "well kids, by the time YOU are adults the United States will change to the metric system" era. 🤣

Edit : At least the police car does resemble a Plymouth Fury, because as we all know from old tv shows, all police cars in the 1970s and 80s were Plymouth Furys!

[Phade]

What a mess...lol How does the brain decode this into a game.

[RolandsKaTet]

Heartwarming to see fans from all over enjoy an obscure game!

(Uh. Anyone know why this game has no soundtrack? I figured budget.)
