What about Street Hassle by Melbourne House, with Granny-nutting, copper bashing madness? The Daily Mail would be wetting their pants over something like that!

Good shout! You could also beat the hell out of Gorillas and blind men with guide dogs too.
Beautiful big sprites too. One of my faves.

I didn't even know about it until my mate told me about it few years ago, and loved it ever since

^^ That reminds me, didn't the game of Death Wish 3 allow you to massacre little old ladies?

Who would then turn on you and attack you with their handbags if you killed too many of them.

(also has one of my favourite Ben Dalglish soundtracks as well, but that's another story)

There was also another spectrum game where your mother was cut into pieces and scattered around hell that was supposedly the sickest game ever(Crash review) can't remember the name of that..

Soft & Cuddly!

I went and clicked on that to see what it was.

....possibly was a mistake.

What in the numerous hells was the creator of that smoking when he came up with that nightmare? Just.... what.... I dont even...

I'm pretty sure that Codemaster would have been sued to high heaven these days for Rockstar Ate my Hampster due to the use of stars images, jokes on their names and what they were portrayed doing in the game!

Little old ladies and Prostitutes!!

I never actually figured out what the actual aim of Death Wish 3 was tbh.
Me and my mates used to play it for hours literally just killing all the prossies and old women with a rocket launcher.

Agree with you on the music too.

Wasn't there a boxing game (Frank Bruno?) that featured some highly questionable racial stereotypes including a black cannibal?

I remember a spectrum game and the cover featured a white Indiana Jones type kicking a black guy with big rubber lips and a bone through his nose in the face!!

Frank Bruno's Boxing is just a Punch Out clone and Ninty did a remake of that for the Wii.

Took a little rummaging to recall this one.
