Comments:
Don't you just love 8-bit speech samples? This game opens with the famous phrase "Go ahead make my day", produced with all the crackle and fuzz of a thirty year old record. You play 'Dirty' Harry Callahan as he wanders around the streets, alleys, apartments and even sewers of the crime ridden city cleaning up the criminal scumbags. You do this with you feet, fists or, preferably, with your trusty .38 Magnum. This seems like quite an in depth game but it's hard to work out without the instructions manual. I think the point to the game is simple puzzle solving. You can walk into and around the run down apartments. In a room in one of them is a big baddie that bullets bounce off. I'm guessing the idea is to hunt down a more powerful weapon from some where in the city and use it on him. This is quite a fun game. There are plenty of places to go. You can climb ladders, walk down alleys, wander around the corridors of Apartment blocks and even jimmy open the doors to the apartments. There are a few problems though. The graphics are a bit primitive for a game made in 1990 as is the music and sound and also the look of the game seems more like Death Wish than Dirty Harry.
