| Cops ‘N Robbers | Atari | 1976 | PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION OF GAME Atari’s "Cops ‘N Robbers" is a car chase video action game for 1, 2, 3 or 4 players. The game is packaged in its own distinctively-styled upright cabinet a 23-inch black-and-white TV monitor is mounted with its picture tube facing a mirror. The players stand in front, looking at the TV picture reflected at them by the mirror. Four sets of player controls, one for each player, are provided on the front side of the cabinet. The leftmost set is for the leftmost car in the TV picture, and the rightmost set is for the rightmost car. Each set consists of a foot-operated gas pedal and a hand- operated pistol grip and trigger. Two backlighted start push buttons are also mounted on the front of the cabinet. Several strips of colored transparent material are affixed to the TV picture tube. During game operation these strips filter the white light emitted from the TV tube so that certain portions of the TV picture will appear highlighted in color. Two identical coin mechanisms are mounted below the gun control levers, at the center of the cabinet’s front side. The coin mechanisms accept quarters only and are connected so that deposit of coins in either one can initiate game plays. The Cops ‘N Robbers game has an owner/operator option that allows selection at the game site of any of four choises for the cost per play sequence. The cash box is located behind a locked access door to the coin mechanisms. Two speakers are mounted inside the cabinet, one alongside each coin mechanism. During play the speakers produce a variety of sounds that add to the game excitement. | labelimagesubject |
