Streets Of Laredo

Streets of Laredo was a hugely popular Western-inspired artificial reality game created by Interstella Action Games, for up to three players.

Characters available were:

• Dangerous Dan McGrew, barefist fighter extraordinaire;
• Brett Riverboat, knifeman; and 
• The Riviera Kid, an ace gunslinger with a flamboyant costume.

The basic graphics on the log-in page, and character selection, belie the ultra-realistic world of Interstella Action Games's premier AR game.

However, unlike the banned - and highly addictive - Better Than Life, the players of Streets of Laredo are always conscious of the fact that they are in a simulation.

Participants can also elect to play the game in black and white, for a real vintage feel.

Other A.R. games popular with the crew of The Red Knight include: Wimbledon, Gumshoe, Cyber Park, Cyber School, Camelot, Jousting, Zero-Gee Kick Boxing, World War II, and Jane Austen World.

There was a rumour on the lower-levels that somebody had access to a pirate copy of Jane Austin World, featuring scenarios like Edda, Winchester Park, A Field of Broken Dreams, Fence and Fencibility, and Pride and Precipice.

Although developed by Total Immersion Inc (and distributed by Crapola Inc) like the other games, this was never supposed to be released to the public, as it was developed by a rogue programmer with the aim of "sexing up the works of Jane Austen, with more violence, nudity, and monsters".
