APB - All Points Bulletin © 1987 Atari Games.

Players take on the role of policeman 'Officer Bob' as he takes to his patrol car and drives the streets in pursuit of lawbreakers. The object of the game is to meet (or preferably exceed) the daily quota of 'busts', as he tries to catch a variety of law-breakers.

Along the way, players must refuel their patrol car (by driving through filling stations) as well as meeting targets within a set time limit. Any accidental collisions or running over of pedestrians will result in the player earning 'de-merits', while a 'perfect day' will earn bonuses, with further bonuses awarded for each arrest made that exceeds the daily quota. Picking up donuts extends the time limit for a day.

The cabinet looks like a police patrol car and the top marquee is a red/blue light bar that flashes when you push the siren button. A simple platform seat can be attached to the cabinet to make a sit-down type game.

Cabinet dimensions : 73,75'' (187cm) High x 25,5'' (65cm) Wide x 34'' (86cm) Deep.
Cabinet with seat dimensions : 73,75'' (187cm) High x 25,5'' (65cm) Wide x 56'' (142cm) Deep.

  • 0:04 WTF?! I don't have this feature of day selection.

  • @eqwwac

    When you start a new game, you may press the Siren button and start to get a level 1-8 warp, or press Gun+Siren and start to get a level 1-16 warp.

  • I remember one day I pulled over to the side of the road and started firing at everyone.

  • @bk994 I think it just keeps repeating.

  • Do you happen to know if the game has an end? I played through to day 33 on MAME, and after Sid Sniper, it looped back to Freddy Freak (although I didn't catch all 14 fugities). I'm wondering if the game ends if you DO catch them all...

  • This must be how the L.A.P.D. trains their officers.

  • can someone tell me where I can get this game??? i used to love the arcade game!
