Play Vice Online
You blast through a grimy cyberpunk city with a chunky shotgun, dodging bullets and kicking yourself for wasting grenades on regular goons—this NES hidden gem plays like Contra with a synthwave soundtrack.
Game Overview
Ever stumble across an NES game that feels like it should’ve been way bigger than it was? Vice is one of those—somehow slipped under the radar back in the day, but man, it’s got everything. You’re this lone fighter in a grimy cyberpunk city, blasting through waves of goons with a shotgun that feels way too satisfying for 8-bit. The first level throws you right into it: dodging bullets, jumping over pits, and figuring out that, yeah, you probably should’ve saved that grenade for the boss.
The music’s all synths and basslines, like someone mashed up Blade Runner and an arcade cabinet. And the controls? Tight. Like, Contra-level tight. It’s tough, but not cheap—every death feels like your fault, which just makes you wanna try again. The neon-lit stages are full of little details too, like flickering signs in the background or enemies bursting through windows. It’s got that late-’80s vibe where everything’s either dripping with cool or exploding.
Not gonna lie, it’s weird this one didn’t blow up back then. But if you dig classic run-and-guns with attitude, Vice is like finding a scratched-up VHS tape that turns out to be the best action movie you’ve never seen.
