Evening all. You're on the beat down the local high street in this game. The boys in blue have been equipped with the very latest technology in their battle against villains and sore feet, i.e. unicycles.

Petty misdemeanours are rife in this part of town. There are persons behaving in a drunk and disorderly manner.

The punks and drunks may be a nuisance but are angels compared with the Mafia who are robbing banks and tossing gas bombs to assist their getaway. Your only weapon is the policeman's friend, a large truncheon. You defend yourself against bombs and burglars by hurling the truncheon in their direction, aiming for a direct hit. Floating skywards from the bank are balloons to which moneybags are attached.

The street scene scrolls slowly to the left while PC Fuzz trundles ever-so-slowly around on his unicycle. Control of the truncheon takes a bit of getting used to - a combination of fire button and joystick movement guides the boomeranging sausage-like stick. A further limitation is that Fuzz always faces right and cannot fire at any burglar or bomb behind him.

The graphics are fair only and the music depressingly monotonous. A good concept for a game but this implementation doesn't have enough challenge or variety to keep my interest.
