Er du omkring de 20 år og voksede du op med SKY eller svensk TV som barn, husker du helt sikkert den ultra populære Starsky & Hutch serie, som kørte henover skærmen i 80’erne. Nu kommer den gamle kult-serie som spil til PC og PS2.
Serien er egentlig fra 70’erne, men nåede ikke vore breddegrader før i 80’erne. Det er Empire Interactive, som har monterret skyderen i skulderhylsteret fyldt benzin på slæden for at udvikle spillet.
Indholdsmæssigt bliver det en kombinatjon af et skyde- og kørespil. Det fortælles ligeledes, at en af de gamle karakterer fra serien vil stille op med sin stemme i spillet. Men hvem? Husker du "Pimpy" duden, eller rettere sagt Antonio Fargas aka Huggy Bear. Nedenfor finder du et billede af Fargas, efterfulgt af et uddrag fra pressemeddelelsen:
The game follows a driving/shooting theme where the player will be encouraged to pull off the over-the-top hand-break turns through cardboard box laden alleyways while taking out the bad guys. No time for Sunday drivers or less than accurate shooters who will see their scores plummet for a less than stellar performance. The game also allows for one player to drive, while a second player shoots the suspects using a light gun.
Chris East, Head of Marketing & PR at Empire said about the deal "We’re delighted to have Antonio with us for this product. He is a cultural icon, and still is the essence of cool. He’ll prove invaluable in making sure the product is as accurate as possible to the look and style of the show - and add a certain amount of style to the marketing activity."
Antonio Fargas was quoted as saying "I thought it was really cool when I heard about the Starsky & Hutch game, and when I saw it I was blown away, to be able to have one dude drivin’ and another dude shootin’ man I thought cool, I want me some of that". He continued "Those boys at Empire sure know how to capture the look and feel of Bay City in the 70’s, this game has the Huggy Bear seal of approval."
