1988 was a depressing year as it became ever harder to find Atari games and that sad slow realisation that it had had it's day as a commercial concern, so getting any new games was almost like a miracle. So it was I acquired this one and was horrified by it's blocky graphics for such a late entry, but I recall this being a surprisingly fun game to play so it was acceptable. |
| Blocky graphics are not the best in the world, true, but other than that I remember this game being addictive, and quite challenging. |

I remember being quite fond of this game and it was one of the first I fired up after digging my old XL out of the attic. Despite the original poor review posted here; its actually not that bad a game. You run around picking up diamonds, trying to shoot (or avoid..) ghosts and police whilst attempting to find the code for the safe
-sounds inane but its actually quite addictive and I was easily able to wile an hour away playing it.
However getting through the annoying intermittent lasers to gain the code did test the patience and I gave up my fond reminiscing after that. Despite that it's not a bad effort and certainly one of the better Atlantis Software offerings. |
| This was the game that had you shooting policemen and performing jail breaks long before anyone had heard of Grand Theft Auto. Sadly, that's where the similarities end - a simple but frustrating top-down 'arcade adventure' with blocky graphics and a childish feel - not that you'd want kids to be playing this. |

There is also an abundant supply in the mine, which is rumoured to be haunted by ghosts.
Your problems start when you set off a burglar alarm which brings the police on to the scene... [more]
