It is here that the player character has been left, after being beaten up by some thugs under the employ of Nikki Blanco, one of the Kingpin's lieutenants. The game begins in the most desolate and deprived area of the city, Skidrow, a dystopia where rats and the homeless wander the streets.

Set in a city, the world of Kingpin revolves around crime and criminals. The setting is described by the game manual as a ' past that never happened'. Many inventions are conveyed through an art deco style design, like helicopters and monorail networks. Set in a quasi-retro time period, Kingpin features a mix of 1930s art deco crossed with modern technology and ideas. The game was ported to Linux by Xatrix employee Ryan 'Ridah' Feltrin. Released shortly after the Columbine High School massacre, the game attracted controversy which led it to be dropped from various retailers, despite receiving moderate critical acclaim. The game begins with the player character wounded and beaten up by the Kingpin's henchmen, and the story follows his thirst for revenge. Kingpin: Life of Crime is a first-person shooter developed by Xatrix Entertainment (now Gray Matter Interactive) and published by Interplay Entertainment in June 1999.
