The briefing

About this game

Death Wish 3 is an action shooter based on the 1985 film starring Charles Bronson as vigilante Paul Kersey. After a friend is killed in New York, Kersey takes to the streets to help the police fight gangs causing violence and riots.

Players can use the .475 Wildey Magnum, shotgun, machine gun, and rocket launcher, while a bulletproof vest provides protection from several shots. The upper screen presents a side view of the current street or building, while the lower section displays the score, injury meter, police report, compass, map, weapon, and remaining ammunition.

Buildings offer elevated opportunities to fire from windows for higher points, but enemies can approach from behind. Police may assist during encounters, although attacking them causes them to become hostile. Civilians and bystanders, including grannies and street-walkers, must also be avoided.
