In Cops'n Robbers from Atlantis you play the part of the infamous jewel thief Fingers Lonegan who is about to break into the Acme Diamond Company and steal all the uncut diamonds which are lying around. 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 and they are now combing the area looking for you. You have a .45 Magnum and a limited supply of bullets with which to shoot the police as you make your way through the buildings. Now shooting policemen is not my idea of a good thing to teach children to do. Aliens from a distant planet OK but not your neighbourhood bobby. However back to the game. After you have collected the diamonds you have to take them back to your getaway car. Your perspective of the game shows a plan view of the mine and buildings with a side view of your man which unfortunately makes the game look very childish. The graphics are pathetic and the sound effects dismal. The game is playable but not for long. It appears to have been thrown together quickly to get it on to the market. Sadly for the author and the company involved, it's a disaster. Sound: 2/10 Graphics: 2/10 Playability: 3/10 Value for money: 0/10 Overall: 2/10
