Wall Street
Wall Street is an action arcade game released in 1982 by Century Electronics. Players navigate a character through a financial district setting, avoiding obstacles and enemies while collecting items across multiple stages. The game supports two players, allowing simultaneous or alternating play depending on the cabinet configuration. Controls typically involve a joystick for movement and buttons for actions such as jumping or attacking. The gameplay increases in difficulty as players progress through successive levels, with faster enemies and more complex obstacle patterns. Wall Street reflects the early 1980s arcade trend of single-screen or scrolling action games built around score chasing and survival mechanics, offering a straightforward but increasingly challenging experience across its stage progression.
