Crime Wave (video game)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A game that pushed the envelope in graphics and sound on the common PC, it was one of the first to use technolgy termed as 'RealSound'. Of course most PC's only had rudimentary tonal speakers, and software didn't exist to emulate sound on the DOS sound device. Crime Wave was one of the first games that accomplished polytonal emulation on the PC speaker. It was also one of the first that ran in 256 colours. The game itself revolved around a disgruntled Excop, that had to rescue the presidents duaghter. Somewhat like a 'Bruce Willis' film played out in panned depth scrolling action adventure.
