Another tip: jump on the escalator to save a second or two per go!
Have fun

I don't have (can't find) ATR version of this game. ROM files don't upload. Graphics look good so I thought I would give this a shot-- Activision seems to know how to use DLIs properly.

Hi atariksi, there is an ATR version here and Fandal has an xex version here.

Well you have all been busy upholding the law

Nice to see a couple of new players, looks like I need to have another go!

Any corrections please post

p.s. I was having a debate with mopchop as to whether that black thing with the yellow flashing bits was a fire or a radio... she came up with the idea that it was a radio on fire

Good to know I'm 16th (power of 2). Thanks for ATR link. I'll try XEX as well. I actually got a whole box of games from Ebay with a 130XE but most of them don't work including this one. Yeah, there's some weird stuff going on in this game-- airplanes flying on different floors (must be toy planes like in Tom & Jerry). Those radios must be turned on with bad music so the flashing bits must be bad vibes. At first sight, I thought you could kill the "thief" by jumping like Bluto kills Popeye in Popeye by "tickling his feet".

Okay, I tried a few times. Looks like some levels the elevator works out fine. Maybe randomized.

When you load the game and start it, the elevator starts at same position, but after that it just continues in it's cycle regardless you died or finished level or even started new game (at least by pressing START ingame, don't know if you loose last life if it will continue too or start at the position when loaded).

It would help if they put an arrow on the elevator so we can tell which direction it's headed-- that way sometimes the wait is worth it if it's coming down. Also, how do you get down from the top floor? The thief seems to have cleverer ways of going up and down.

It doesn't change difficulty after level 16?

Way to go guys, serious last day postathon

Here's me ready to congratulate mapa for his first win of the season, when wham deteacher comes in for his third win stopping the dodgers express from making it three in a row, and divya16 just pipping laemeur for the 10th place spot. Just remind me how many weeks it is since I won a game

phew! we nearly equalled the record number of entries (millipede) although I did draft in travlar who is only three

Any corrections please post, and I'll see some of you in the space bar (no not the one on the computer keyboard 'cause that'd be silly) [and full of crumbs].

Now we need to get deteacher to tell us the pattern he found to get 250K.

It's not so much a pattern, really. I always took take the elevator on the first floor. If the crook is still on the 2nd floor when the elevator opens up on the 2nd floor, then I'll chase him there. If he's on the 3rd floor by the time I start moving up, I'll ride up to the 3rd floor. When I reach the 3rd floor and he's too far away (on the right side) then I'll ride back down and up again and nab him.

Another tip involves killing yourself at strategic times (if you can spare a life.) On the maximum level, if I was close to a 10K threshold, I'd kill off a life when the elevator is on the middle floor, coming down. When the new life starts up, it would be on the bottom floor, waiting for me when I got there. Jump in, go up to the 2nd floor and nab the crook pretty quick. This would give me more than enough to gain back the life I intentionally lost (and then some.)

That's good one-- kill yourself just at the right time to sync up the next life to the elevator.
