Detective (Phoenix Publishing Associates)

Could you solve the cases and survive the perils of being ad detective. Find out by playing this game. Firstly, you are briefed on the correct number-plates for the cars and trucks you are likely to see. Then you are stationed near the main road, watching cars and vans travel past. You are looking for a stolen vehicle whose plates have been changed. When you see a car or van you suspect, you must call up, by radio, the two squad cars n the area and tell them to set up a road-block. If you time it right, the suspected vehicle, which veers off the road when it sees you are interested, will be caught. If your suspected vehicle was stolen and you catch it, the driver comes quietly and your score increases, if however, you catch a vehicle which has not been stolen, the driver dresses you down, and your score decreases. If you do not catch the suspected vehicle, then you are told whether your suspicions were correct but your score does not increase. Published in the book, "Brainteasers for the Commodore 64".
