Probably the best two player game on the market. Read Review
A very hectic and enjoyable game with a lot of shooting and action. Read Review
This package represents value for money consistent with the many similarly-featured arcade games at the moment, but its two player aspect will influence a potential buyer for or against it. Read Review
An all-action, high speed arcade game with only the one screen. Very enjoyable. Read Review
Although advertised as a two player game, there is a one player practice option. Read Review
You are out to steal £250,000 in diamonds before your rival. You accomplish this by collecting the heaps of diamonds which appear on the screen, and taking them to the cache in your house. Unfortunately, the other robber is not your only problem. There are several killer droids, employed by one of the insurance companies, who try to apprehend bandits such as yourself and recover the swag.
There are two types of the droids Henrys and Percys. One type will try to catch you; the other your opponent. You can "convert" one which is following you by shooting it. You can also shoot the other player's man, and if caught by a droid or shot you will drop your swag and be returned to your house. Naturally, you will soon use up all the ammunition in your gun, but you can get more by depositing gold in the bank. The other way to convert droids is to move onto a "DH", which changes all Henrys to Percys, and vice versa.
Moving onto a Smiley has the effect of sending your opponent back to his house.
If you shoot a police car, it will follow you around the screen, which gives points to the other player, though you can stop this by drinking a can of beer (the sort which refreshes the parts other beers can't) and shooting them again.
