Burglar X is a cooperative maze game released in 1997 by Unico. Two players control nimble thieves navigating intricate layouts to collect valuable gems and artifacts while evading security patrols. Using an eight-way joystick and three buttons, each player must strategically maneuver through the twisting passages, avoiding detection and working together to secure the loot. The game’s visuals are presented at a resolution of 384x224 pixels with a vibrant palette of over eight thousand colors, creating distinct environments for the heists. A Motorola 68000 processor powers the gameplay, accompanied by sound chips delivering music composed by G.D. Hwang and Park Hyo Jin alongside sound effects designed by Kim Yang Su. Burglar X provides a challenging experience that rewards coordination and quick reflexes as players strive to outwit the security measures protecting their targets. The game's design team included Koo Eun Joong, Kim Yang Su, and Jun Jung Ok among others.
