Info

Bank Heist © 1983 20th Century Fox.

Your goal is to rob as many Banks as possible before running out of Getaway Cars. Disabling Cop Cars with dynamite increases your score and causes more banks to appear in the town. Running into Cop Cars or accidentally dynamiting your own car will abruptly halt your little joy ride.

TIPS AND TRICKS

HINTS FROM BILL ASPROMONTE (hope he didn't hurt himself with these tips!):
The wrap-around passageways are the best way to ditch cops. Also, Cop Cars are not allowed to make U-turns. This means that you can follow them about the town without risking a head-on collision.
