A superb adaptation of the arcade game - I like it better than the MAME version!

I think Lock 'n' Chase deserves much praise. The graphics
are crisp and clear, and the sound effects are beautiful! The little tune that
plays when the money bag appears is excellent! Even the squick squawk
of Lupin picking up the coins is well done. If it would have been possible,
I'd have liked the coppers to be more colorful - but it appears that all of the
extra moving objects were used on Lupin instead. Lock 'n' Chase is easily one of
the best Pac-Man clones for Intellivision. I like it even better than the
original!

One of the most hotly sought ROM variants for a long time has been the
mythical 8K version of Lock 'n' Chase. I suppose the source of this rumor is
the Intellivision Demo cartridge that showed a different title screen and
animation when Lupin was caught. Also, the
official site
claims that there were two variants. However, these have never actually been
spotted in real life, as far as I know or can confirm personally.

Ostensibly, the 8K ROM has a correct copyright symbol, as well as a Data East credit. Such a screen was shown in the 1983 Demonstration Cartridge. |
