Chicago's 30

About

You play as Eliot, a lone detective battling through Chicago’s underworld in this side-scrolling shooter. Navigate greasy docks, gritty city streets, and dim warehouses while dodging grenades, leaping over obstacles, and blasting mobsters with a machine gun. The chaos ramps up with enemy henchmen popping from sewers, racing in black cars, or hiding in buildings. You drive a customized car for sections and stockpile ammo to survive increasingly frantic firefights. Chicago's 30 leans into 80s arcade energy with tight controls and relentless action. While its pixelated graphics and simple mechanics feel dated, fans of fast-paced run-and-gun classics praise its punchy enemy variety and chaotic level design. The game’s retro charm and accessibility on multiple 8-bit platforms helped cement its cult status among vintage shooter enthusiasts. Short, brutal, and unapologetically old school.

Storyline

Chicago, city of gangsters and guns, where lone detective Eliot mounts his crusade against the lawless mob. From the dingy dock throough the murky outskirts and into the sleazy city itself, then finally the illegal booze warehouse, Eliot sticks to a trail terrorised by mob hitmen, popping out of the sewers, hidden in the buildings or careering along in black Bugattis. Armed with machine gun, cache of grenades and customized chrevolet, now really is the change to put your bullets where your mouth is... or your mouth may rest forever.
