Jail Break

             

              Manufacturer: Konami
              Year: 1985

Descpription: The game intro shows that convicts have taken
over the prison and many have escaped. Your job, as a policeman, is to
kill the escapees. Your view is slightly up and at an angle from the side
-- very similar to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or The Simpsons.

The scenes move from right to left and are basic city scenes. First,
there are downtown streets, then the park, then a bridge, etc.

You can obtain different weapons: pistol, riot rifle, tear
gas gun and maybe more. The Weapon Select button cycles through
your weapons via a display at the bottom of the screen.

When the desired weapon is higlighted, press the Fire button to
shoot it. Hostages will randomly run across the screen. Grab
them for extra weapons, but if you shoot them, you'll lose weapons.
