apparently, Riot Zone was released as Riot City in the arcade, but they changed the name before it's actual release, which is why it links here:

Interesting. I'll never understand why they changed Bobby into Tony for the arcade port. I mean, what was the discussion back in '91?

Meanwhile at NEC...
Well, let's see here... the American market has very different tastes than the Japanese. This game with two plausible American characters will never float, let's drop the big black guy and replace him with a big flaming mohawked guy. Next on the agenda: Toilet Kids. No way, that's just weird... let's keep the Toilet but drop the kids."
