The players must help Lucky and Wild catch six wanted suspects ("Jerky", "Gambit", "Juliora", "Keel", "Bear", and "Big Cigar" himself).Lucky & Wild is a first-person racing/shooter arcade game that was released by Namco in 1993 it ran on Namco System 2 hardware.
Early designs for the game took cues from Sega's Rail Chase, specifically its motion-based seat that reacted based on the player's actions in the game, such as shaking when it ran over rocky roads. With an idea in place, Kounoe and the development team began production on Lucky & Wild. CHiPS was also the source of inspiration for the game's title, as in Japan it was called Joe & Ponch. Looking for inspiration, Kounoe noticed the surge in popularity of buddy-cop movies in Japan, such as CHiPS and Police Story he decided to make the game a homage to these films, as he felt it would make it easy for players to become engaged with a familiar setting. The company's planning department looked at the arcade industry and noticed that Japanese video arcades were primarily populated by young couples Namco and Kounoe decided on making a large-scale arcade machine that could be enjoyed by these couples, primarily men.

Namco's extensive history in the racing game genre, particularly with their Final Lap franchise, allowed the team to build upon those games with their expertise at designing them. As a way to differentiate it from other games already on the market, and to what Kounoe describes as "protect the pride of the development department, the production team worked to make the game feel fresh and original. Namco executives pushed to have the lightguns fire a single shot when the trigger was squeezed, which Kounoe and others pushed against due to it making the game impossible to play.
Lucky & Wild was released in Japan in April 1993, followed by a release in North America a month later. It was believed the game was heavily inspired by the film Tango & Cash due to multiple similarities, such as the similar designs of the protagonists and near-identical theme Kounoe denied this in an interview, claiming that he was unaware of the film's existence during production and that the similarities were merely a coincidence. Objects were painstakingly drawn one at a time, with the team using materials like manga and photo albums for reference.
