clocknch: MAME ROM Information.


History:

Lock'n'Chase (c) 1981 Data East.


The game is a maze game. Like "Pac-Man", you're trying to eat up dots while four cops (with the names Spiffy, Smarty, Scaredy and Silly) try to stop you. While you don't have energizers to eat the cops with, you CAN block them off with walls (or better yet, try to trap them in the corners). When you're finished eating dots, there are 2 exits for you to escape from the cops.
