Sure, the new Mortal Kombat movie just came out today but I need some time to properly review it. So, Justin and I decided to put up a review today that he wanted to do for years. It’s on the 1993 (prototyped in 1992) arcade game “Lucky & Wild” by Namco. L&W is a first-person racing/shooter that fits right in the buddy cop genre like Tango & Cash and Starsky and Hutch. However, it’s super cartoony and over the top. Players choose to be one of two different characters: Lucky, who is always dressed in fashionable suits and does both driving and shooting; and Wild, who is a wild and crazy guy who only shoots. The object of the game is to help the two heroes capture five wanted suspects in five rounds of high-speed chases.

  1. In Japan, they also have the driving wheel on the right side, and drive on the left lane on roads. Maybe the artwork was for the Japanese version, but the driving wheel was swapped to the right for west imports?

  2. Dude, I don't remember this game at all. However throughout the 90s I was always in arcades.

    When you played the sounds of the two characters talking in the rear-view mirror I DISTINCTLY remember the "My car's trashed!" sound bite many times in whatever arcade it was. That's crazy

  3. I haven't been to an arcade in a while, but there should be more team based arcades like this. And Simpson's, TMNT, X-Men… all 4 players.

    Maybe like a scale model B-25 or B-29 with front gunners, tail gunners, top, bottom, side gunners…

  4. Ahh… yes….Operation Wolf…an arcade game that I absolutely loved, so one day I saw it at Walmart fir the NES…I had some money so I did the logical thing…I bought it! I got home, played it for an hour…beat it…took it back and traded it in for Pit Fighter on the Sega Genesis…I got a crapload more gameplay out of PF than I ever would have with OW. In fact, I always enjoyed the Genesis version of PF more than the arcade.
