Lock 'N Chase for Gameboy (1990) colecomoe
I picked up this game by accident - a somewhat fortunate one. Lock 'N Chase is a fun Pac-Man spin off, only you play as a criminal and the ghosts are cops!
The Good:
This was a pleasant surprise for something I normally would not have considered. It has high replay value for those who enjoy the original premise in pill gobbling titles of yore. Clear the level and overcome the next puzzle. I found this a more interesting presentation of a classic. It is easy to look at for longer periods of time producing very little eye strain.
The Bad:
It is a fairly simple adaptation of a tried and true formula. Although the cops n' robbers approach provides some freshness, Lock 'N Chase has essentially a borrowed idea. There is little real depth of play. The graphics display a sort of pink and green image. The music is just o.k. if not a little repetitive.
I'd consider Lock 'N Chase an above average game. If you're a fan of the game boy and the old school Pac-Man games, you may want to give this a go. If better graphics and inventiveness is what you're looking for, you may want to keep looking.
