Gameplay

Street Heat is a two-player driving and shooting game released by Epos Corporation in 1985. Players take control of vehicles equipped with weaponry and pursue targets through vertically oriented screens. Using steering wheels and three buttons for controls, players navigate their cars while attempting to damage the opposing vehicle and any obstacles along the way. The game utilizes a Zilog Z80 processor and an I8035 sound processor to deliver its gameplay experience. The screen resolution is 224x256 pixels with a palette of 256 colors, creating a distinct visual style. Players must maneuver their cars carefully, avoiding collisions while simultaneously aiming and firing at the enemy car. Sound effects are produced through a DAC chip running at 400 kHz, adding to the on-screen action. Street Heat offers cooperative or competitive play for two participants who can engage in high-speed chases and shootouts.
