In the beginning of the plot, an evil corporation known as the Legacy organization, kidnapped the daughter of a mid-aged rich man and left him a letter explaining why they kidnapped her. Late one night, before Rick and Allen was about to close their office, the mid-aged rich man, rushed inside the office while being exhausted. He asks for support on saving his daughter and gave the letter to Rick and Allen. The next day, Allen notices an [[advertisement]] in the classifieds with similar sentence structure to the letter left by the kidnappers. Rick couldn't understand it so easily, until Allen told him to look cautiously at both, the letter and the ad. They soon realize that the writing is actually a secret code, only understood by certain crime lords, so Rick and Allen struggled toward the main base of the Legacy organization to find the truth and save the kidnapped daughter. The setting later takes on a [[steampunk]] feel as it goes along, coming to a head in a battle inside a [[blimp]]. ==Gameplay== Players One and Two start with the two selectable protagonists, Rick and Allen. Each private detective uses different fighting styles, attempt to solve cases by beating up each [[criminal]] they encounter. Lots of special items can be found by throwing enemies into the background and breaking things, typical of this popular genre in the 1990s arcades. Along the way they are harangued by all manner of thugs and toughs, whose costumes range from 1980s [[hip-hop]] wear to stereotypical pirates. The bosses are tough by way of strange special attacks. ==Legacy== ''64th Street'' spawned a series of beat 'em ups for the [[Super Famicom]] titled ''[[Rushing Beat (series)|Rushing Beat]]''.{{Citation needed|date=January 2009}} The game's two protagonists later made a [[cameo appearance]] in another Jaleco game, ''[[Chimera Beast]]''.<ref name="AH">{{Cite web|url=http://www.arcade-history.com/index.php?page=detail&id=454|title=Arcade History: Chimera Beast|accessdate=2007-02-27}}</ref> == References == {{Reflist}} ==External links== * [http://www.mameworld.net/maws/romset/64street MAWS] * [http://www.arcade-history.com/?n=64th.-street-a-detective-story&page=detail&id=22 ''64th Street: A Detective Story''] at [[Arcade History]] * {{KLOV|id=6790}}
