Game's rom.

Originality isn't always defined by how your game plays, but by how far you can take a concept and do absolutely everything you can with it. There are games that try, others that try harder, still others that try too hard, and then there's Riot. Some games go overboard with their capacity for creativity at the risk of making no sense whatsoever, completely veering off into the realm of tangible sanity and ending up as mindshocking hodgepodges of confusion. And then, once again, there's Riot, an unassuming scrolling high-octane action shooter that takes elements from both Contra and Cabal to come up with a deliciously memorable product. Rather, it would be memorable if it weren't so incredibly obscure, released by the generally unknown company NMK who never had any big name products to their name. Still, regardless of clout, Riot just may be NMK's most impressive game ever thanks to some of the most hilariously stupid stages and situations seen in anything.
