GAME INSTRUCTIONS
1) You are an expert safe cracker. Your goal is to crack 15 safes and escape with the loot to safety. You start out in the lower right of the screen and must eventually reach the cross in the upper left; doing so, with 15 successful cracks, constitutes a win. Chasing you as you go are squad cars of police. If they come in contact with you, it's a loss.
2) You can stop a police car by moving out of its lane. You must drive only in the city streets between the blocks, except for when you crack a safe; then, you may cut into the block to get at the loot.
3) Use the joystick to move your car. After a game, use the joystick for a new game or the F1 key for the levels menu.
4) There are four levels of play determined by the frequency of police car attacks.
