Crack Down is a video game made by Sega. In 1990, it was ported to the Mega Drive.
Gameplay
Using a top-down perspective, the player controls either Ben or Andy, a pair of agents charged with stopping a villain named Mr. X, named Mr. K in the Mega Drive version likely to stop confusion with the Streets of Rage antagonist of the same name, from taking over the world, as they make their way through several timed levels, planting bombs and destroying cyborg enemies using guns (the "machine gun" and the "cannon" can be swapped back and forth) and smart bombs (which wipe out all enemies on screen.) The goal of each stage is to plant all of the bombs and escape before their collective timer goes off.
Reception
Crack Down was generally positively-received, with players deeming it as enjoyable, although criticized the fact that the game doesn't have much challenge.
