STREETSCUM
SWEEPER : F.A.Q.
"All
I get is a blank screen--I don't think this game works."
Did
you let it sit and load for a couple minutes? This game is actually
a Java applet, and slightly over 200K in size, at that. It might take
2-3 minutes to load and initialize, especially if you're using a 56k
modem connection.
"No, really, the game never shows up. Sometimes all I get
is some weird message that looks like programming code."
Are
you using a 3.0 version browser or higher? Since this game is written
in the Java programming language, you need to use a browser that's capable
of handling Java. Sorry, WebTV viewers--you won;t be able to play Streetscum
Sweeper yet.
If
your browser fits the above requirements, and you know something else
is up, please email Det. Pete
O'Brien.
"Okay, the game's loaded, I've heard the theme music and everything.
I try to hit any key to begin, and it just sits there."
Make
sure to click your mouse pointer somewhere on the game window. This will
make the Java applet "active" so that it will be able to accept
commands from the keyboard.
"Now that I can play the game, it moves too fast! I can't even
get past the first level."
Did
you read the instructions? If not, here's a little refresher: This is
a turn-based game, meaning that once you make a move, the crooks
make a move, but don't move again until you make another move. This
way, after every move you make, you may pause and get your bearings
before making another choice. If you keep moving quickly without stopping
to take a look around you, the crooks will undoubtedly kill you instantly.
Make your moves one at a time, slowly, until you've become comfortable
with the game.
"Can
I save my high scores?"
Nope.
You can take a screen shot of them, though.
"What
are all the characters saying?"
Stacy:
"Ta Da!" (from "Carnal
Express," when she reveals her exotic dancer outfit to Hooker,
Romano, and Corrigan)
Corrigan:
"Everything changes, Hooker." (from "The
Return," when he waxes philosophic with Hooker before Hooker
walks off into the sunset on the beach)
Romano:
"Hands on your head!" (from "The
Survival Syndrome," during his first bust after conquering
his fear of danger on the streets)
Hooker:
"Police! Everybody out of the way!" (from "Chinatown,"
when Hooker and Romano break up a holdup at a chicken fight)
"Who
are the crooks?"
Tori
Spelling : Daughter of Aaron Spelling, co-producer of T.J. Hooker
and star of "Beverly Hills, 90210." Appeared in "Grand
Theft Auto" alongside Delta Burke.
Officer
Roper : Played by Grant Goodeve of "Eight is Enough." Evil
cop whose vigilante tactics come under fire from Hooker -- literally --
in "Blue Murder."
Also has a thing for Stacy, and gets in bar fight with Corrigan over it.
Troy:
Part of the Bonnie & Clyde-esque team who hold up convenience stores
in the Christmas episode "Slay
Ride." His performance achieves a new level in over-acting.
Marjoe
Gortner : Perennial '80s-television bad guy, appeared in "Slay
Ride" as Troy's boss and "Lag
Time" as Jack Lewis.
The
One-Handed Man: Arch-rival of T.J. Hooker. Haunts Hooker's dreams.
Killed Hooker's old partner Johnny Durrell. Finally brought to justice
by Hooker in the penultimate Hooker episode, "The
Return."
Back
