The Spectrum and Amstrad conversions are great. But the C64 version, I thought, could have been a lot better. Read Review

Full Instructions
The Game
The streets aren't safe! Night falls swiftly as you make your way through the most sinister part of town to collect your girl. So far, so good... your train pulls into the subway station, alighting you realise you are not alone! The station, and the streets above are infested with thugs and villains... time is short so you must negotiate these areas to meet your girl as arranged.
Quick thinking and martial art skills are the only abilities you have to depend upon and you disembark knowing that this is going to be the most dangerous walk of your life.
Gameplay
There are five levels: Subway, Pier, Sleazy Street, End Street scene and interior. In each of these scenarios you will meet a gang, who are armed with different weapons.
To attain completion of a level the leader of the gang must be defeated, his status being shown at the bottom of the screen below your energy bar. You must punch, kick or "knee" your assailants repeatedly to defeat them, (typically, each needs to be knocked to the ground twice).
There are various ways of attacking your assailtant; these are:
- Punching
- Back Kick
- Flying Kick
- Kneeing
- Punching a floored assailant
