godzillajoe Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I'm currently addicted to this game after picking it up recently. Simple premise and gameplay but it's got me hooked for some reason. Anyone else have any opinions or wanna share their high scores? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I never really played it much. IIRC it's a maze game where you drive around a grab money and fuel while avoiding the cops. It's a pretty standard idea and a fairly average game. Nothing too special. It was originally called the Roaring 20's. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxsolo2000 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I like it. Yes graphics are basic but game play is quite good. I like the sound of the police sirens as the cars chase you around the maze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godzillajoe Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 (edited) It has some nice touches like the sirens getting louder as more police cars chase you And the fact that you HAVE TO blow up cop cars to get more banks to appear and get a full tank of gas before leaving town OK the cop cars could have been a different color as it's next to impossible to see them against the black background sometimes a new cop car will often appear right on top of your car and kill you but overall I find it a nice time waster with solid albeit simple gameplay Edited November 28, 2006 by godzillajoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vdub_bobby Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I love it. Fast action, requires good timing of the bombs, nice sounds (godzillajoe mentioned the sirens), satisfying explosions, requires some strategy (head for the exit vs. blow up more cops), multiple mazes, and nice graphics with a nice intelligent-flicker routine. Underrated. One of the better maze chase games on the 2600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godzillajoe Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 I realized after some more plays that the cop cars appear at the location of the banks so it doesn't pay to drive around the "scene of the crime" as it were. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercat Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 (edited) Nice game. Four objects with two sprites means some flicker, but not too much. Too bad it doesn't work with unhacked SuperCharger. Edited November 28, 2006 by supercat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PressureCooker2600 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 one of the Must Have games IMO....love it. i dont care what people bash it.....this game puts me in a trance....and i just LOVE blowing up police cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaXpress Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I love this game. 2600 simplicity/fun at it's finest. It was intended to be Fox's "Bonnie and Clyde" game but they must not have had all the rights cleared. It would've looked good with a young Faye Dunaway on the box.

shadow460 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Wish I could find this one around...I miss playing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Thag Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Yeah, this is one of the better maze games on the VCS. For some reason, it reminds me of an Arcadia 2001 game. I think it's the little car graphics, which kinda look like the dog-catcher van in Cat Trax. Dunno. It is very fun, and on of my favorite Fox games. It's one of those really good games that is obscure enough to have completely missed the spotlight, kind of like Solar Storm or Subterranea. It's definitely a nice break from the usual pac-clones. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elviticus Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I like it - good game. Never knew about it as a kid, one of those that I'm glad to discover as I collect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
