The game was released in North America on February 1995 and in Europe the following month.[1][2] The game is based around Wile E.

The game was re-released as part of the Sega Mega Hits range on September 1997.

Gameplay[edit]

Desert Demolition is a platform game in which the player can choose to control either the Road Runner or Wile E. Coyote for the game's duration. As either character, the player must traverse through a series of five levels and a final boss stage; the Road Runner must do so while evading Wile E., while Wile E. can repeatedly capture the Road Runner with the aid of special ACME gadgets. The Road Runner has the ability to use his signature beeping vocalization to startle Wile E. if he is positioned behind him, while Wile E. can pounce in an effort to capture the Road Runner. Both characters can run in a short burst of speed by using 'Turbo Boost' icons scattered within the levels.[3]

As either character, the player is given a limited amount of health that is displayed as a red bar on the upper-left side of the screen and is depleted by taking damage from traps and hazards or, as the Road Runner, coming into contact with Wile E. The player also has a limited amount of time to complete each level, which is displayed at the bottom of the screen. The player will lose a life if the health bar is fully depleted or if the allotted time runs out. Health can be replenished by consuming piles of bird seed as the Road Runner or by consuming jars of vitamin pills as Wile E., and extra time can be added to the timer by collecting clocks. If the number of lives in stock is completely exhausted, the game ends prematurely. Extra lives can be obtained by collecting icons in the shape of the Road Runner's or Wile E.'s head.[3]

Each level is divided into two acts, and littered throughout the levels are stamps that can be collected. Wile E. can collect a series of stamps with each successful capture of the Road Runner, while the Road Runner can collect extra stamps by startling Wile E. with a vocalization from behind, trampling him with a Turbo Boost or luring him into obstacles and traps. If a minimum of 125 stamps are collected within a level, a bonus stage will be initiated at the conclusion of the given level's second act. These stages can be used to stockpile Turbo Boosts and lives, and will end when the player reaches the end of the stage or if the allotted time runs out.[3]

ACME-labeled crates can be found throughout each level. As Wile E., the player can enter a crate and emerge using one of various contraptions that will often augment Wile E.'s movement and aid in the capture of the Road Runner. As the Road Runner, the crates should be avoided as Wile E. will ambush the Road Runner using the same contraptions if the crate's vicinity is approached.[3]

Endings[edit]

Completing the game results in two different endings for each character, both of which feature cameo appearances by Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety Bird, Sylvester the Cat, Porky Pig, and Elmer Fudd (all of whom are working as employees of ACME Corporation). If playing as the Road Runner, a banner will come down from the ceiling that states: 'Congratulations! ACME President', indicating the Road Runner has been named the President, leading Wile E. to panic and crash through the glass window behind him, leaving his silhouette in the window.[citation needed] If playing as Wile E., the banner says, 'Congratulations! ACME Customer of the Year', Bugs presents Wile E. with a trophy that goes with the award, and the others clap for him as the Road Runner says his trademark 'Beep, beep!' and leaves, leaving the Coyote in shock. Balloons and streams fall from the ceiling.[citation needed]

Reception[edit]

GamePro called the game 'a lightweight frolic', commenting that playing as the Road Runner is one-dimensional and overly easy, but playing as Wile E. Coyote offers a varied gameplay experience with humorous animations.[4] The four reviewers of Electronic Gaming Monthly gave it a 6.75 out of 10 but unanimously panned the game, saying that the graphics and animation are outstanding but that poor control makes the game frustrating and unenjoyable.[5] A reviewer for Next Generation gave the game three out of five stars, saying it 'captures the humor and feel of the Warner Brothers' classic like no other game.' He praised the animation and sound effects, and echoed GamePro's remarks that playing as Wile E. Coyote is a much more varied and enjoyable experience than playing as the Road Runner. He concluded that only the game's short length and low difficulty make it one to rent rather than one to buy.[6]Desert Demolition was the 9th highest-renting Genesis title at Blockbuster Video in April 1995.[7]

1. Don't look down: Ben Bernanke fears that the American economy will soon look like a Looney Tunes episode.

The former Federal Reserve chief questions the wisdom of Congress for waiting until the economy looked healthy and then hitting the gas with massive corporate tax cuts and a burst of spending.

'What you're getting is stimulus at the very wrong moment,' Bernanke said last week at an event hosted by the American Enterprise Institute.

He's got a point. The unemployment rate is 3.8%, matching the lowest in half a century. Stimulating the economy further could overheat it, ending the recovery prematurely. And by expanding the federal deficit, Congress has left itself less room to borrow money to fight the next recession.

The other challenge is avoiding a nasty crash when the sugar rush fades from tax cuts.

'It's going to hit the economy in a big way this year and next,' Bernanke said. 'And then in 2020, Wile E. Coyote is going to go off the cliff and look down.'

Of course, it's difficult to forecast that far out. And investors will recall that Bernanke famously said in March 2007 that the impact of the subprime mortgagecollapse was 'likely to be contained.' The Great Recession began nine months later.

For now, Wall Street doesn't seem worried about a recession. Powered by blockbuster earnings, the Nasdaq raced back to a record high last week. The Dow and S&P 500 have recovered most of their losses from last winter's sell-off.

Still, Bernanke's warning underlines Washington's peculiar sense of timing. Congress hit the brakes on the economy by cutting spending and letting tax cuts expire during the fiscal cliff standoff in 2013 — just as the slow-speed recovery needed a boost.

'I begged Congress,' Bernanke said, 'not to raise taxes and cut spending as they did. It was the wrong time to do that.'

This Congress is making life more difficult for Jerome Powell, the current chairman of the Fed. The central bank, which meets on Wednesday, needs to keep inflation in check by raising interest rates, but not so quickly that it exacerbates a potential slowdown.

That's not to mention the deep uncertainty and higher expenses for businesses caused by President Trump's tariffs and trade threats.

Lindsay Piegza, chief economist at Stifel, told CNNMoney's 'Markets Now' last week that she already sees signs that economic momentum is 'beginning to wane.'

'The risk of recession rapidly rises as we look out to the second half of 2019 and into 2020,' she said.

The Justice Department sued to block the deal. It argues that the combination would give AT&T(T) the power to charge its competitors more for Time Warner's content, or to block the content entirely from the likes of Comcast, Verizon and Charter. Difference between ms dos fat and exfat.

Time Warner owns HBO, Warner Bros. and the Turner networks, including CNN. AT&T and Time Warner say they need to join forces to compete with new competitors such as Netflix(NFLX) and Amazon(AMZN). AT&T has argued that prices would not necessarily go up, and that it would have no reason to keep its content from competitors.

3. Rate hike coming: Private revolution world party rar. The Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates this week for the second time this year. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell will take questions on Wednesday after the announcement.

Investors will be listening for clues about whether the Fed will raise rates once more this year or twice.

The markets will also be eager to hear what Powell says about trade and the economic risk from President Trump's tariffs.

4. Tariff details: By Friday, the Trump administration is expected to release the final list of Chinese products that will be subject to tariffs — about $50 billion in all. The White House says the tariffs will take effect 'shortly thereafter.'

The United States reached a deal last week with ZTE, a Chinese tech company, and lifted a ban that blocked the company from buying American parts. The deal drew backlash, but some experts think the Trump administration was trying to win goodwill in trade negotiations with China.
