Crook
In Crook, you’re a crook!! Try to avoid the police at all cost, while stealing some valuable stuff in the process. Normal controls in Crook. There are a few secrets in the game (The Bomb!!) if you can find it... Good for you!

In Crook, you play as a... crook... and you go around robbing people. Which just involves walking up to them and touching them. There's also some extremely easy fights against cops and security guards. You only have 1 life, but you can have up to 300 if you replenish it between missions by eating apples. You probably won't have to refill after the first time.

There's a few platformer boards where you have to dodge obstacles, usually annoying laserwall traps. Also, don't press the elevator button more than once or the elevator will screw up and never work right again... and you'll have to restart. The last part of the game has a few boss battles, and the hardest part of *those* is that you could win the battle while standing in the middle of an explosion. Your movement gets locked but you still take damage. I won with only 35 health left for that reason, haha..

There's a scoring system, but it's pretty useless because there's no reward. You don't even get a final score tally in the end.

No music, no sound, and graphics look like something out of ZZT. Worse, the player's kinda hard to see against some backgrounds.

Eh.. there's a lot of content here, but it's pretty mediocre. There's no challenge because of how easy it is to mug people. Nice concept, but..
