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

Graphics: 4 Sound: 5 Replay Value: 4 Notes: 1- or 2-player game; a rumors of a ROM variant abound Screen Shots

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!

A total of nine Lock 'n' Chase box variants have been documented.

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.

A total of fourteen Lock 'n' Chase manual variants have been documented.

	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.
	The bank that Lupin is robbing. Smooth animation, crisp, pleasant graphics.
