Street Stories: The Unique Narrative of Cart Life

Written By Kom Limpulnam on Senin, 07 Januari 2013 | 19.51

This reminds me of an old Commodore 64 game called Rags to Riches.  You started as a homeless person and worked your way up, at first you just pick up money on the street and return bottles for money.  Later you get a haircut, find a job , start getting educated at different levels and getting better jobs, moving to better part of town, etc.  Managing your time becomes difficult, for example you may have to work/live in one part of town while furthering your education in another.

Throughout all this, you have to stay alive by controlling your rest and food levels, and there's an interesting twist in that you also have an alcohol level that can sustain you as well.  The problem is that while alcohol can sustain you, you cannot go to work or school drunk, but sometimes it's your only hope to stay alive especially when it's late and your trying to make it home but there's no stores open that sell food, just alcohol.

To top it all off, there's no save system, it's brutal.  You can spend a lot of time progressing and then lose it all on one mistake, and the game throws random events at you that can totally screw you over.  I never actually finished the game, but maybe I will try to now.

If this sounds cool track it down and run in an emulator, and emulators have save states so you could use that as your save system to make the game less frustrating.
