About Street Fighting Man

Street Fighting Man is a game where the player controls Nick, whose objective is to rescue Xianna from gangsters. The action takes place across five urban environments, each representing a distinct level of challenge based on the number of territories to clear.

Player movement is handled with arrow keys, while the space and alt keys execute punches and kicks. Found weapons, such as a knife or crowbar, can be collected and used with the ctrl key. The progression through a city involves defeating all the local gang factions, or "turfs," in its area.

This structure makes the starting city of Denver the easy option with only two turfs, while subsequent locations like Atlanta, Detroit, Los Angeles, and New York present increasingly challenging scenarios with more groups to overcome.
