<h2>Overview</h2><p>Crack Down is a top-down action/shooter arcade game, developed and published by Sega and released in 1989. It was later ported to a variety of home consoles and computers. The goal of the game is to navigate mazes full of enemies to find critical areas to plant a series of bombs, and then escape their blast by exiting the stage.</p><p>The game is specifically built for two players. When a second player isn't available, their corner of the screen is left blank (in the Genesis port, the space is used to display hints about enemies instead).</p><h2>Story</h2><p>Ben and Andy are top-secret agents. A mad scientist by the name of Mr. X (Mr. K in the Mega Drive version) has begun overrunning the city with artificial lifeforms, including his ultimate experiment, a synthetic devil. Ben and Andy are charged with clearing the city and taking down Mr. X, by terminating Mr. X's cyborg army and planting smart-bombs.</p>
