A.B. Cop (World) (FD1094 317-0169b)

Take to the futuristic streets as a law enforcement officer in Sega’s A.B. Cop, a thrilling motorbike chase game released in 1990. As an "Air Bike" pilot, you must pursue and neutralize criminals who have committed armed robberies, all against the clock. The gameplay centers on navigating challenging tracks filled with obstacles while deploying unique abilities to bring down your targets. Your heavily armored hover-bike is equipped with a limited number of jump boosts that allow for aerial maneuvers – crucial for avoiding traffic and launching surprise attacks on enemies from above. A speed boost function, usable without limit, provides another means of keeping pace and meeting the game’s strict time constraints. Each level culminates in a confrontation with a large, heavily armed guardian requiring multiple hits to defeat. A.B. Cop draws inspiration from earlier chase games, offering a fresh take on the racing genre with its distinctive aerial combat elements and escalating boss battles. Skilled players can unlock an additional stage by achieving a high score, revealing a special encounter with all bosses in a charmingly stylized format.
