Hoosier City is an action/adventure side scrolling game, first released for MS-DOS in 1991.[1] The game was released along with multiple sequels; Hoosier City I: Assault of the Orcs, Hoosier City III: Return to Oil City, and Hoosier City II: Liberating Freedom City,[1] some of which were released in 1992.[2] The games were developed and published by MVP Software, with distribution by Wetware.[2]

Hoosier City and its sequels are based in a post-nuclear war, where the player is tasked with ridding a city of mutants.[1] Movement is controlled using the cursor keys, and the player is able to obtain additional weapons and items, as well as upgrades.[3]
