In this game you are just a typical high school student who has to go through the town fighting different street gangs like, the squids, frat boys, home boys and the jocks.
Each section of the town is divided up into each gang’s territories that you have to go through and defend yourself against these gang members in
order to reach your girlfriend. There are items that can be found that will help you in conquering these gangs like trash cans, chains, metal pipes, and sticks. When you beat up each gang member, they will drop anywhere between 10 cents to five dollars that you can pick up to buy different things that you will need. After you beat up all the gang members, you will have to find their leaders and beat them up as well. The money will help you buy things like food for your life points as you will inevitably lose them along the way. Some food items you will be able to carry while others you can only eat right then and there. You can also read books to help you learn things that will improve your stats like a karate book that helps you learn ways to fight these bad guys. There are also books that you can find at the library that will help improve your abilities like your kick and punch speeds, and acrobatics. Some of the books will also improve skills.
This game was one of the first in its class to start using stats like attack, defense, ability, speed, energy, and others. Your girlfriend is held hostage on the roof of the high school by gang members and you will have to go in there and work your way up and rescue her. The graphics were good for its time. Overall, I liked this game for its fun, addict and exciting! I highly recommend downloading it! I’m sure you’ll be satisfied and impressed!
