Of course, gotta love the Feel with the pre-GTA feel of killing cops and stealing and "doing crimes." I love love love the Diamond building's elevator sounds, otherwise like many have noted, the sound is very bad for its time and quite annoying. I liked that there are the Morgue and Jail scenes. I really liked how you can get an extra life by breaking into the police station and "freeing yourself" seemingly in a sense. I'm usually not a huge fan of PacMan esque maze gameplays, but that's what a lot of the indoor segments were like.
Great concept, fun gameplay for 20 mins or so, but was missing something to keep me going. I got to 5k points and didn't really feel motivated to use up my last life. The shoot controls were very basic, and like others have noted, the Look and Sound are super primitive too. Maybe if there was a standout jingle, or a better Look, I'd commit to trying for a higher score. But as it is, passable.
Still, definitely give this a playtest or watch a video of it. Because it is a fun maze game with a funny/unique concept. Most the bad reviews from its day were just cuz you kill cops, but for those of us raised during the GTA era, that's not a turnoff. The Look and Sound might be, though!
