Game Details
This game combined a number of elements of law enforcement. You were given a main criminal target at the start of a board. Along the way you had to issue various tickets to meet daily quotas. There was a time limit which could be extended by eating donuts. Once you succeeded in bringing the level's criminal back to the station, you had to badger a confession out of him. Failure to meet quotas or obtain a confession resulted in being chewed out by the captain. Unlike other games with a steering wheel, the buttons were located on the cabinet rather than the wheel (like Spy Hunter or Road Blasters), making the stand-up version rather difficult as you had to fight to maintain your personal balance as one hand would have to leave the wheel to shoot the gun or sound the siren.
