[Synopsis]
This is a side scrolling beat em up released in the early 1990s, the graphics were quite good for a game of that time. The game is a bit choppy, like most computer games of this era were. Console games did have a edge when it came to the smoothness of the game play, MS-DOS and computer games in general were rough like this. I have to say this is one of the more premium PC games of this type, I never finished this game. It was very difficult, and you only have one life! They should give you at least 3 lives.
This game was intended to be played on a 286 12 mhzs computer. It didn't cost very much, I think it cost about $19.99 or $29.99 back in 1990 to purchase this game. I did see Wild Streets in video game magazines at the time, and the screen shots were for the MS-DOS version. Back in those days, game makers would put the screen shots of the ported version which looked the best. It was a bit deceptive, so if you bought a game for the Apple IIc/IIe, or Commodore 64 you would always be disappointed. Those 8 bit computers simply could not compete with 16 bit computers and consoles, and Apple 2s, C64s, Amstrad CPCs, NES 8 bit, SMS 8 bit, and other 8 bit computers + consoles were still being used in the early 1990s!!!
In other words, technological progression was slow from 1986 to 1992. Then, in 1993 when the Pentium processors were released, PC technology really started to take off. In 1995, a 32 bit operating system, like Windows 95 was released. Microsoft made it easier for game developers to make game software on their platform. From 1995 to 1999, I think I upgraded my computer from a Pentium 100 mhzs to a Pentium 166 MMX. Then, I got a AMD K6-2 350, and I upgraded that to a AMD K6-2 500. A year later, I got a Celeron 400, upgraded that to a Pentium 2 400, upgraded it again to a Pentium 3 550, and upgraded to a Pentium 3 800 in 1999. That is 7 upgrades in the span of 4 years! PC technology really accelerated from 1995 to 2000. We haven't seen this type of change for a while. Today, if you bought a I7-2600K in 2011, you might still be using it 8 years after. Heck, I still use my I5-3570k I purchased in 2013, and that computer is 6 years old.
Playing old games like this is more like nostalgia for me. These games may seem primitive, but on the back of my mind they mean something to me.
