Genre: Action Adventure RPG

Game review links: Link
Game review score: 6.3/10 (IGN)
Game description: The first in a series of "disaster" games from the Japanese game development company Irem. Also referred to as "SOS: The Final Escape" in Europe and "Zettai Zetsumei Toshi" (絶体絶命都市) in Japan. Loosely translated, Zettai Zetsumei Toshi means "Desperate Cities". In this game, the player must attempt to survive long enough to be rescued. The player travels through a sinking city in order to find other survivors and to achieve rescue. The game was most notably criticized for its bad localization (notably Agetec's (the company which directed the localization) decision to change everyone's hair to a blonde color and the bad voice-acting). There were also prevalent grammar and spelling mistakes contained in the game, along with a disappointing linearity.

Known Issues
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: The cursor is missing on dialog boxes in which you have the choice to select a certain action.
- Workaround: This is most likely caused by an incorrect Z Buffer. There is no fix currently. However, since the cursor starts at the top of the menu by default, it is easy to work around.
