Cops 'n' Robbers Zzap Review

• Atlantis Gold, £2.99 case, joystick only

This is what must be described as a very basic arcade adventure, a bit like a very basic Sabre Wulf in its layout. You take the role of Light Fingers Lonnegan with the task of robbing the Acme Diamond Company, allegedly the world's largest suppliers of uncut gems. Starting from his car he must make his way either to the Police station, mine or the ADM building.

Watch out though, there's a Policeman patrolling the streets and he's out to get you. If he gets near you can shoot him, but beware, more of his Policeman chums will come after you. Occasionally a dangerous helicopter flies overhead. It must be at a blooming low altitude though, if it touches you then you'll lose one of your three lives.

If you go to the Police station then you'll have to work your way round corridors to get to the key. Watch out for the marauding Policeman though, boy, he's really mean and pounces given the first opportunity to cart you off to jail, and that would be a real shame!

Once the station has been negotiated you can try elsewhere... the really spooky mine, perhaps? This consists of a maze, complete with ghosts which have to be avoided. You can also shoot them which is odd — surely ghosts can go through things. In the mine there are diamonds and some sticks of TNT to pick up, these add points to your score.

The final building you can visit is the ADC building itself, although in here you must beware — the Police are hot on the trail and there are lots after you. If you manage to pick up all the diamonds and open the safe then you can return to your car and zoom to safety.
