DescriptionBe sure to wear a clean pair of underpants for this one. For you are about to suffer a rather nasty road accident. You don't want the eternal embarrasment of the paramedics seeing skid-marks on you as well as the road!

Fortunately, although the accident in question is completely unavoidable for the player (call it fate), there is a chance that the offender will be brought to justice.

Let's not ask any awkward questions, like what where you doing standing still in the middle of the main road, with your eyes closed and wearing a pair of headphones?

Anyhow the perpetrator is subsequently lined up in an identity parade along with eight other random members of the public. Is your memory good enough to tell the assailant apart from the others?

The police will very generously give you up to three attempts to nail the offending motorcyclist. Choose wisely, or the offender will be laughing in the face of justice.

CommentsWoody's superb rendering of urban United States during the first phase of this game gets everything right. The dollar signs in the shop Window. The motorcyclist driving (just about) on the right of the road. This also is a retro game with traits of far more modern games. Because, what we basically have here is a non-interactive cutscene. As for the interactive part of the game, well it's a quick gag meaning success is again in the hands of pseudo random elements. Or at least I think it is. I can't be totally sure, as I don't think I ever actually won the game. In any case - a reasonable score for the time and effort - the graphics are indeed memorable and really just of outrageously high quality I have to say.
