The criminals are on the run and only the Crim Busters can stop them! Chase down each Crim and ram their car until the damage meter fills and they are forced to stop! Spread across five addictive retro themed levels, use your driving skills and turbo boosts against the clock to bust some crims!
Use Q/Cursor Up to accelerate, A/Cursor Down to brake, O/Cursor Left to turn left, P/Cursor Right to turn right, SPACE to change gear and ENTER/Right CTRL to use a turbo boost!
ESC to pause, M to mute.
Nice that there is a Flash HQ up and running
the speed, sound, and satire is all there for this simple game
but,
the amount of lanes , "homing" oncoming traffic, and having the crim ease thru said traffic hurts an otherwise nice lil' homage
Its always a fender bender that takes the fun out.
the controlls in this game are terrible

Granted the controls are not where I originally wanted them to be. Cursor keys would have been far better, alas I had some issues with key detection that I simply couldn't resolve, so I went with an old favourite combo from years gone by. I guess that even waaaay back in the days of 8 bit computers I must have been one of the few to use the controls I've used in this game. I * will * endeavour to sort this and get the cursor keys working as they should.... thanks for taking time to post.
That was fun, very 80's style. Just as good as my Atari was. And to think we used to pay $60 to buy games like that. Lucky kids today get it for free! The 2 speed shifter seemed dumb at first but then it became part of the challenge. Also, the trees were flickering but that's bc you're driving so FAST! The dialogue was hilarious and the gameplay top notch. Even a high-score chart. A perfect revival!

Thanks for the comments. I'm glad the 80's style was not lost on you, as that's exactly what I was aiming for. The 2 speed shifter was an after add, for sure. I just felt like it needed "something else" in the gameplay and I seemed to recall a few of the arcade cabinets having a high/low stick shift back in the day! Once again, thanks for taking the time to post.
This was alright. Your music and graphics were decent and the plot was good. My only complaint is the controls. Would be a lot better if instead of O and P as you steering that you use the arrow keys. Other than that, it was ok.

The controls thing is something one or two people mentioned during testing, but I had a real issue with the cursor keys being held down and other key presses not being recognised :-/ I just couldn't solve it, hence went with my old favoured Amstrad CPC464 key combination.
Perhaps I'll look into getting those darned cursor keys working as well as the current config.
Thanks for taking time to write :-)
