Hack description

This hack turns a game based on a Japanese TV show cloned from Miami Vice, into an (un) official Miami Vice videogame on NES for very first time.

The original game was developed by Micronics, responsible for titles with low production values such as Super Pitfall or Athena. That in the case of Mottomo Abunai Dekka (literally "Dangerous Cops") translates into poor graphics, ridiculous physics and a duration of about 20-25 minutes. On the other hand, its strong points are a 2-player cooperative mode and abundant cinematics that narrate a story of two super cops against a drug cartel with chases, kidnappings, police corruption, etc. That made it the best candidate for this hack.

The rar file includes two patches, one for the English version and after some requests, one for the Spanish version. For more information you can check the README files, available in both languages.

Note: You can apply the patches directly on the original game.

I never knew that I needed a Miami Vice video game. Until now.Chronosplit2019-12-13Version 1.0

It's interesting to see a romhack in the style of how this sort of game most likely would have been localized. Everything's presented as well as can be. As a fan of Miami Vice I'm enjoying every little bit put into it.

As far as how the game plays, it's the same in both good and bad. But the work done here just makes it more fun in my opinion.
