PANIC STRIKES RIVER CITY!
"I hold your girlfriend, Cyndi, captive. With my gangs of students and vicious bosses roaming the streets, nobody can stop me now. If you want her back, come to River City High." -Slick
Slick, the meanest, most powerful gang lord in River City, has issued this ultimatum - and the entire town is powerless in a grip of fear! Fortunately, Alex and Ryan weren't in school the day Slick took it over. But now, their fellow students are prisoners - including Ryan's girlfriend! It's up to our two young heroes to battle their way past several dangerous city gangs, then defeat the gang lord to free the students of River City High and restore peace to the panic-stricken populace!
