"Life On The Streets - Episode 1: 50 Cent's Prison Break" Finally Released
Life On The Streets is a DOS based first person shooter using id Software's Wolfenstein 3-D for it's base source code. After a long, horrible, time consuming development cycle, the first Episode of the planned trilogy is available for download. While this rushed early version of the game is completely finished and playable, several kinks still need to be worked out. Most notably the strange screen-resizing problem (pressing F6 should correct this in most cases). Expect an updated version 1.1 to be uploaded soon correcting some of the major problems, and maybe one day an Episode 2. See below for Episode 1 download link.
UPDATE: Episode 1 version 1.1 is now available. The update includes some bug fixes as well as slightly improved visuals.

Not Running DOS?
Yeah, most of us aren't these days. While Life On The Streets is designed to run best on a 486 running DOS, it will play with varying degrees of compatibility on newer systems. Users running Windows 95/98/ME shouldn't run into any problems (although it may help to restart your computer in MS-DOS mode, if possible, before playing). Windows XP users may have problems with sound and music which can be fixed using emulation or a virtual machine. WIndows Vista/7 (64-bit) probably won't be able to run this program at all without using an emulator such as DOSBox. Included with the Life On The Streets download is the file README.TXT which explains in detail ways of working around most of these incompatibilities. On that note, if anyone feels compelled to port Life On The Streets to 32-bit Windows (or anything else for that matter) I will happily supply you with the source code.
