APB (Atari Lynx review)

Developer: Quicksilver Software
Publisher: Atari Corporation
Released: 1991

APB is a driving game that was originally released in the Arcade in 1987.

+ Has surprising depth that challenges you to multitask, and the upgrade ability gives you numerous ways to tackle the stages.

+ Bite-sized missions are perfect for handheld play, and balancing the timer against finding items off the beaten path is fun.

+ Has charm in spades thanks to the hilarious voice clips, cut-scenes and general tone that plays on every cop stereotype!

- With 99 stages (and no continues) it's puzzling why there are no passwords, and constantly having to restart is disheartening.

- Demerit system is far too strict, especially as civilians aim to bump into your car and cause you to suffer the consequences.

- Could have used a pre-stage map to display the layout, as the result is aimless wandering when you need a gas station.
